Christchurch City Councillors have voted to consider hosting the 2030 Commonwealth Games, despite being showered in fake money by protesters opposing a possible bid.
A recommendation by Mayor Phil Mauger for council staff to provide advice on the viability of hosting the 2030 Games passed 10 to 7 at a meeting Wednesday morning, to the dismay of the protesters.
The city last hosted the Games 50 years ago.
Reporter Niva Chittock spoke to Charlotte Cook.
