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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
