The New Zealand Olympic Committee has signalled early interest in hosting the 2034 Commonwealth Games.聽

NZOC's chief executive has said it's an 'exciting opportunity for New Zealand Sport.'

Barry Soper, ZB's senior political correspondent is against this move, labelling it 'ridiculous'.

"This country has a massive problem in terms of debt, in terms of earning and in terms of paying its way in the world. To even contemplate an event that could cost up to $2 billion is beyond me."
