Shane Henderson: Stadium Venues Working Group Chair on Auckland Arena pulling out of the Western Springs stadium project - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Confusion over the billionaire-backed Auckland Arena proposal being withdrawn from options for Western Springs. 

Businesswoman Anna Mowbray, her husband and former All Black Ali Williams, and Auckland FC owner Bill Foley withdrew their 12,500 seat proposal, which wouldn't have cost ratepayers a cent.

The group cites unique challenges.  

Chair of the Stadium Venues Working Group Shane Henderson told Heather du Plessis-Allan they've been left largely in the dark.
