Planned Christchurch stadium faces yet another budget blowout

Christchurch has a big bill to contend with, if it still wants the multi-use stadium that's been in the works since the earthquakes 11 years ago. The problem-plagued project has blown out another $150 million, meaning it's going to cost $680 million and counting. The finish date's been pushed out too - to April 2026.

Tessa Guest reports, and Crusaders CEO Colin Mansbridge talks to Lisa Owen.
