Glad it wasn’t just me! A little disappointed not hearing the official result being called out, but congrats Brisbane! 
Not only that, the stream broke a few times

Well done 7 for fucking up the moment.
QLD Premier embarrassing jumping up and trying to recreate the moment Sydney was announced. It was always going to be the result.

If you check the tape she wasn’t the one who jumped up first - it was the Federal Sports Minster and Lord Mayer.
Normal city.

Nice to see QTQ spin the Olympics bid into ‘how will this affect your rates’-type content

Out of how many possible votes?
Did 10 cover it in news or the beginning of the project?

There were 88 IOC members in Tokyo eligible to attend the meeting. Not all IOC delegates went to Tokyo and members had to attend in person to vote and any Australians could not vote apparently.
From that the original number of 88 that meant Brisbane needed 45 yes votes. If they did not get there the other cities whose bids had been rejected by the preferred city selection process could then bid again.
