Te Papa's popular Gallipoli exhibit is going to be around for another seven years. 

The Scale Of Our War exhibit, which showcases giant Weta Workshop made sculptures of New Zealanders at war, was meant to close in 2019. 

But it's been extended three times now, the latest extension stretching to 2032. 

Te Papa's Kate Camp told Andrew Dickens it's the most popular exhibit the country's ever seen. 

She says the sculptures do have a shelf life, but they've been surprised by how long they've lasted, so they want to see it continue.

Israel's taking several measures against the UK, including closing its consulate in Jerusalem and banning 11 MPs from entering the country. 

The move's in retaliation to the UK saying it'll ban the imports of goods from Israeli settlements in the illegally occupied West Bank.  

UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Andrew Dickens the language used in the British Parliament was startling, with Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband calling it "ethnic cleansing".  

He says it's not how ministers of the past would've framed it.  

France, Canada, and Spain are among the 12 countries imposing similar sanctions.

Queenstown's Mayor says National's alternative to a bed tax is better than nothing.  

The party's pledging to change how the International Visitor Levy is spent, pouring $100 million into conservation a year and $50 million for tourism.  

The rest would be dished out to councils based on how many international visitor nights they get.  

Queenstown would get $17.1 million in the first year, with John Glover telling Andrew Dickens it's not as good as a local accommodation levy, but there's currently very little else.
