Description: Shows a tour bus in Dunedin pointing out the old rugby stadium and the new. Context: The old Carisbrook stadium was branded with the name "The House of Pain", due to its reputation as a difficult venue for visiting teams. The building of the controversial Forsyth Barr Stadium which it was hoped would bring huge benefits to the region is also costing ratepayers a lot of money. Dunedin's overall debt has increased 1700 per cent to $586 million since 2000 and frustrated ratepayers say the debt carried by the council is too high for a city of Dunedin's size and that unchecked spending, in particular on the controversial stadium, has saddled them with an unfair financial burden.

Description: Shows two American visitors to Dunedin wanting to see a giant albatross. They are standing near the Awatea Street sign and a man walking his dog advises them to just stick around. Refers to the contentious Awatea Street Stadium or New Carisbrook (tentative name) which is a proposed rugby union stadium that would be built in Dunedin, replacing the current Carisbrook as the home stadium of Highlanders Super 14 club. It has a planned opening date of 2010 or 2011, and is scheduled to host some matches of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. People can see the giant albatross at the Otago Harbour Heads. The albatross can also represent a terrible burden suffered as in 'an albatross around the neck'. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
