Stadium talks on hold

From The Panel, 4:28 pm on 29 May 2018

Auckland mayor Phil Goff has delayed talk of a waterfront stadium for the city for the next decade at least. He's delivered the council 10-year budget, with none of the money allocated to a stadium.

It comes after criticism of Mr Goff's handling of a $1 million report into the benefits of a stadium.

Meanwhile, a new proposal by Auckland council could see people who rent out their homes as accommodation hit with thousands more in rates.

Phil Goff is calling it the 'build-it budget'.
