Not in Rockhampton.

33:08Stuart JohnCORRESPONDENT
It will come down to if the Moreton Bay Council starts rowing putting the course at Lawnton together, then hopefully they'll be at a point where they can just flick a switch, chuck in some extra dollars and make it to the Olympic standard.
S
33:24Stuart JohnCORRESPONDENT
Otherwise, it will be in Sydney.
S
33:27Stuart JohnCORRESPONDENT
And again, as a Queenslander, as someone who I got so excited when we got given the Olympics, it astounds me that that the government is playing us for fools by setting something up, not having a plan, not having any clue, not having any costings.
C
34:49Chris McCarthyCORRESPONDENT
I'm sceptical that that's going to happen.
C
34:51Chris McCarthyCORRESPONDENT
I think it's going to be everything I've heard from the day it got announced in Rockhampton out of very senior people at Rowing Australia is why are we not having this in Sydney?

Yeah, and that's probably pushing into the millions, right? Like it's not, you know, 9.50.
L
17:42Luke BroekmanGUEST
But if you're sort of talking that real under a million dollars, you're sort of looking kind of, you know, into the greater North, like, you know, your Strathpines, Warner, Lawnton, Bray Park.
L
17:51Luke BroekmanGUEST
I'm getting nosebleeds going on there.
L
17:52Luke BroekmanGUEST
Yeah, and again, is that technically Brisbane?
The truth about rowing in Rockhampton
D

Rocky wins.
D
38:53David LutteralHOST
Great, okay? And then we look at Lawnton.
B
38:56Bo HansonGUEST
Yeah.
D
38:56David LutteralHOST
So are you confident in every, so the athletes would stay presumably just in Brisbane or in whatever accommodation or the village?

They underestimate us, those foreigners and those people from the southern states.
C

et cetera.
C
44:51Chris JonesHOST
He'll refuse to put money into the Lawnton facility or any other Queensland facility.
C
44:58Chris JonesHOST
They'll flood Rockhampton with cash anyway and give them the same amount of money on other stuff.
