Mr Cochrane has been a straightforward critic of the delicate procedure taking after the controversial appointment of US-possessed Company Jack Morton Worldwide (JMW) to organise the showpiece ceremonies at the 2018 Games.

The three failed Australian-based bid groups have additionally voiced worries about the appointment of a London-based previous long-lasting JMW ataffer, who they say assumed a key part in assessing the shortlist.

The rejected groups -- RBMC (Ric Birch and Michael Cassel), David Atkins Enterprises and JB World Events, headed by Julie Brooks -- communicated their deep disquiet in a letter to the premier. The legislature has since brought in probity auditors to look at the procedure, slammed by their Liberal National Party partners as the result of clerical inattention. In any case, Mr Cochrane says they ought to go above and beyond and simply start again -- an alternative Commonwealth Games Minister Stirling Hinchliffe has said is unlikely.

'The government needs to stop (and) go back to square one,' Mr Cochrane told AAP.

'There's a lot of smell about this whole process, so just start again.'

The approaching Gold Coast Suns chairman said the Australian groups were all 'world-class' event coordinators and board members ought to have been coordinated to preference them over global rivals. The proposal detailed by the unsuccessful bidders in their joint letter stated that no senior delegates from the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games Corporation participated in the competitors' meetings. It was, if true, 'completely bisarre'.

He added that a husband-and-wife team allegedly recruited as advisors for the ceremonies tender should have stepped down once a JMW bid was lodged.

'(But) it's not their fault, they just got a gig,' he said.

AAP has attempted to contact the pair. The state opposition has likewise slammed the choice of the foreign-owned organisation as a dud one.
