Western Australia’s new Sports Minister Mick Murray believes it would be a good idea for Perth to step in and bid for the 2022 Commonwealth Games, but admits the state’s dire finances may not allow it.
Durban was this week stripped of the right to stage the 2022 Games after missing deadlines and financial problems.
Melbourne, which hosted the Games in 2006, has expressed an interest in stepping in as a replacement, as have the English cities of Birmingham and Liverpool.
The Gold Coast has also said it would be prepared to come to the rescue and hold the Commonwealth Games twice in a row if asked.
