The promoter for controversial right wing couple Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux says their shows in New Zealand have been cancelled.

The decision comes after Auckland Mayor Phil Goff tweeted that they would not be allowed to use any Auckland Council facilities for their talks.

The Canadian couple were due to speak next month at the council owned Bruce Mason centre on Auckland's North Shore.

Promoters have confirmed they are not looking for any other venues to host the shows.

Promoter David Pellowe says those who already have tickets will be refunded.
