		Today the Commonwealth Games are a major celebration of the many great functions performed by the Commonwealth family of nations that continue to promote goodwill, removal of barriers and divisions, and the promotion of peace to all nations, that represent all continents and regions of the globe.
		The Commonwealth Games was first proposed by the Reverend Ashley Cooper in 1891 when he suggested the concept of a "Pan-Britannic-Pan-Anglican Contest festival as a means of increasing goodwill and good understanding of the British Empire".
		The Commonwealth Games are thus a mirror of the changes that have taken place within the Commonwealth in it's transition from the old British Empire.

		Image:Cg-flag.gif Image:Commonwealth Games years participants.PNG The Commonwealth Games is a multi-sport event held every four years involving the elite athletes of the Commonwealth of Nations.
		Unlike other regional games of this type (i.e., Pan-American Games, Asian Games, All-Africa Games) which usually attract second-tier athletes, the Commonwealth Games attracts the top athletes of member nations of the Commonwealth, thus making this competition world-class in the true sense of the word (second only to the Olympic Games).
		The four constituent countries of the United Kingdom — England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — send separate teams to the Commonwealth Games, and individual teams are also sent from crown dependencies such as the Isle of Man and Jersey.

		In September 1982 when Indigenous activists threatened to disrupt the Brisbane Commonwealth Games, the then Premier of QLD, Lutheran fanatic Joh Bjelke-Peterson declared a State of Emergency and proclaimed street marches illegal.
		The demonstrations went ahead anyway and the QLD Police lived up to Bjelke-Peterson's threats of mass arrests.
		At the end of the day hundreds of indigenous activists and their supporters were arrested, but they achieved their goal of international headlines focussing on the racist policies of both QLD and Federal governments, and charges against most arrested were quietly dropped over the next year or so.
