The legal battle linking Hollywood, Cornwall Park and NZ's events industry

The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald

For over 100 years, New Zealanders have flocked to Auckland Showgrounds for a wide variety of events.  But the doors could soon permanently close on an institution of the country’s events industry.  Event operators are currently in a legal battle with the Cornwall Park Trust over the future use of the land the Showgrounds sits on – a fight that could determine the future of dozens of shows and exhibitions.   Today, NZ Herald business journalist Jane Phare joins Damien to discuss a story that involves a century’s old land deal, Hollywood, and angry pop culture fans.
