INSIDE OUT

Michael from Trentham

New NZ Covid regulations gives unlimited attendances at sports matches and competitions when staged outdoors. An example is the Hurricanes and the Phoenix at Sky Stadium. Great news of course all round with crowd participation an important factor.
Indoor events are restricted at present to 200 and for good reason.
So in Dunedin the Forsyth Barr indoor stadium is used for Super and National rugby competitions involving Highlanders and Otago.
Just what is the status of this venue in regard to the lastest Covid rules? The roof cannot simply be moved off and on within hours of an event.

I think the Govt has given FBS an exemption.

Which reminds me that Sky Stadium is famous for its surround-around internal facility used for indoor events and crowd congregating before, during and after outdoor events - but this too is not restricted to 200 people at a time.

Another exemption it seems.

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

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

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?
