With less than a year to go before the opening ceremony of the 2018 Commonwealth Games takes place on the Gold Coast, the Games’ head of security Danny Baade is confident in Queensland’s ability to deliver a safe and successful event.
The countdown to kick-off commenced back in 2011, and now only 294 days out, Baade and his team are focusing on two main areas of risk: The first is ensuring the event runs smoothly, and the second is keeping abreast of the growing threat landscape, both in the physical world and online.
