Canterbury will gain a new MP as former army officer Dan Rosewarne enters Parliament from the Labour list to replace Kris Faafoi, who is stepping down.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced on Monday that Faafoi, a front bencher and Cabinet minister, was quitting Parliament to spend more time with his family.

Rosewarne contested the Waimakariri seat for Labour at the last two elections, and was beaten on both occasions by National’s Matt Doocey. He was at number 56 on the Labour Party list.

Rosewarne is an army officer who has served on overseas tours, including two to Afghanistan, and was part of Defence Force missions in the Solomon Islands in 2008 and in Christchurch and Kaikōura after the earthquakes.

He is also a cancer survivor who took immunotherapy drugs to battle leukaemia which would otherwise have been fatal.

He was born in 1981 and has a young family.

Regional leaders non-committal over helping pay $150m 'funding gap' for Christchurch stadium

Canterbury's regional leaders remain guarded and non-committal about whether they will help pay the rising costs of a central Christchurch stadium, with many saying such a decision would require public consultation.

Building the 30,000-seat covered stadium will now cost up to $683 million – $150m more than the $533m budget.

If Christchurch city councillors push on with the current design, they will have to underwrite an extra $150m, taking their total contribution to $453m.

Some city councillors say it is time for neighbouring councils to offer a helping hand.

The stadium would be a regional facility and its economic benefits would go beyond Christchurch, a council spokesperson said.

Other Canterbury councils have been contacted about the latest cost blowout and the city council intends to hold further discussions before making a formal proposal, the spokesperson said.

One mooted method is a regional targeted rate, which could be administered by Environment Canterbury.
