Coates spoke at a federal Senate inquiry focused mainly on stadium plans for the 2032 games.
Coates refused to answer a question based on a “rumour”, but earlier said he was “relaxed about where we’re at” with regard to infrastructure. “That was a complete blind-siding for us. We knew that the government didn’t have an appetite for a stadium. We knew that about a week out, but we didn’t know that they’d been doing work,” he said.
“I couldn’t say that I was involved in all of that being bundled together in some shadow process. I wasn’t involved in that,” he said.
