The Victorian government spent nearly $11 million on salaries for staff on the organising committee of the Commonwealth Games it axed, including at least $300,000 a year paid to 11 executives.

More than $500,000 a year was paid to Commonwealth Games Organising Committee chief executive Jeroen Weimar, who was one of 32 people listed as executives among a staff of 74, the committee’s annual report released on Wednesday shows.
