From First Up, 5:43 am on 31 March 2022

Despite New Zealand's victory in the 2020 America's Cup, the next event won't take place in Aotearoa Team New Zealand and the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron rejected a $99 million bid from the New Zealand government and Auckland Council to hold the event here and instead announced they were taking the event to Barcelona In a moment we'll hear from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Sport, Grant Robertson, but first a few reckons from Aucklanders. Nathan Rarere discussed the news with Grant Robertson. BUT ... When he spoke with the DPM he'd just taken a drive on the brand new Transmission Gully motorway, which we'll be discussing with Porirua's Mayor Anita Baker in a moment.
