Is that the same Spark Arena where they had the giant inflatable kiwi?

Why is a foreign leader getting this much hype? Shouldn't we be focused on our own problems?

Leo McKenzie2026-07-11T00:24:43.000Z

Yeah nah, just what we need, another politician blocking up the traffic. Couldn't give a toss.

Aria Wilson2026-07-11T00:32:43.000Z

it's about cultural identity. Not everything's about you.

Aria Wilson2026-07-11T00:39:43.000Z

Actually this is a huge deal for the Indian community here. Representation matters.

NZ Herald2026-07-11T01:03:43.000Z

but why here? We're not India.

Kai Thompson2026-07-11T00:48:43.000Z

Bloody hell, road closures during lunch rush. Auckland's already a nightmare.

Kai Thompson2026-07-11T01:10:43.000Z

that to my boss when I'm stuck in traffic for an hour.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-11T01:00:43.000Z

Lol imagine being this excited about a politician. He's just a bloke in a suit.

Eva Anderson2026-07-11T01:06:43.000Z

I saw the crowd this morning, absolute madness. Good on them for celebrating their culture.

Eva Anderson2026-07-11T01:12:43.000Z

rich given how much the govt wastes on consultants, but ok.

Jack Morrison2026-07-11T01:21:43.000Z

Modi's done wonders for India's economy. Wish our govt had half that drive.

Ella Thompson2026-07-11T01:31:43.000Z

Anyone know if the trains are affected? Need to get home somehow.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-11T01:55:43.000Z

nah, get over it.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-11T01:46:43.000Z

ffs, take the bus like the rest of us. Not everything revolves around your commute.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-11T02:23:43.000Z

lol cope. It's literally one day.
