Events & multi-purpose stadiums
I was interested to read online today that 8 concerts/overseas artists are coming to NZ over the next short while and while 2 are coming to Christchurch none are going to Dunedin. This piqued my interest so I did some research on where the concerts will be held in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and it turns out they are all being held in theaters, opera houses and event centers, like Spark Arena, Logan Campbell Event Center, The Powerhouse, Wellington Opera House, and Horncastle Arena. The largest capacity is 12000 which is the Spark Arena.
I believe this is evidence that having a covered stadium for rugby, events and concerts as Dunedin has and what many in Christchurch are clamouring for, doesn't necessarily guarantee that overseas artists will come.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

Addictive Eaters Anonymous
After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
