Town Hall "No Stadium" Meeting

When was the Dunedin Town Hall last full for a political meeting?. I am sure it was a long time ago.
Six excellent excellent speeches from well-respected citizens expressing their concerns about the Stadium project, chaired by broadcaster Dougal Stevenson:

• Dunedin ex-Mayor, Sukhi Turner

• Alistair Broad, who worked with the legendary entrepreneur Howard Paterson

• Otago Regional Councillor, and ex-MP, Gerry Eckhoff

• Dr Robert Hamlin of the University of Otago School of Business

• Natural History NZ Chief Executive, Michael Stedman

• Dunedin City Councillor, Dave Cull

Themes were the risk of the "Guaranteed Maximum Price" contract, the reliance on Rugby which is in decline, and the unaffordability in these uncertain times.
I have no doubt that the greater majority of Dunedin people oppose the project. Dave Cull would be elected mayor, if a vote was held today.
Read the report in the ODT.
But I don't think it will make any difference : the Dunedin City Council will build the Stadium anyway..
