The Gold Coast has ruled itself out of hosting the next Commonwealth Games, ending any hope the event could still be held in Australia.

The coastal city hosted the 2018 Games, and mayor Tom Tate had - unilaterally - insisted it could do it again but the federal and state governments have repeatedly ruled out supporting the event, as had his own deputy mayor.

Commonwealth Games Federation says they may have to postpone or cancel the next instalment of the Games.

The Commonwealth Games has only ever been cancelled during World War Two.

There are no other firm bids to host either the 2026 or 2030 Games.
