Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily. Today on The Spinoff: Inside the final vote for the future of Wellington Airport, why public transport fares look set to go up next year and where to watch all the big winners from the NZ TV Awards.
“The vibe is cold and uninviting, amplified by the bizarre decision to feature a giant photo of The Rock at the entrance. It’s as if Dwayne Johnson himself is silently judging you for coming here. The most disconcerting part of the experience is the fake Thomas the Tank Engine children’s ride. It’s clearly the correct dimensions for Thomas, but it has been repainted in yellow and dubbed ‘Jasper the Steam Engine’. Jasper has a terrifying train face with a gold monocle and a Stalin-esque moustache.”
