Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate slams Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner over Olympics committee snub


Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate has labelled Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner as "crass" and "arrogant" after he was snubbed again by the Olympics organising committee.
Today the South East Queensland Council of Mayors, chaired by Mr Schrinner, voted in Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart would join the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee.

The decision followed Redlands Mayor Karen Williams standing down from the committee after she crashed her car while drink driving.

Mr Tate said he or Deputy Mayor Donna Gates should be appointed to the board instead.
