You can t spell breathalyse without breatha
Otago students will be targeted for drink driving in a new police campaign, the Campus Cop has warned. This is a big PSA that there will be more breathalyser stops on the streets around campus, starting from Re-O Week.
The new campaign will see cop stops with breathalysers stationed around North Dunedin at all times of day. It is likely to start in Re-O Week, beginning on 12 July. The campaign is specifically aimed at reducing excess breath alcohol (drink driving) cases among Otago students, according to Campus Cop John Woodhouse.
The new campaign will specifically target the times of 5am to 2pm, but there will be more frequent breathalyser tests outside of those hours too. “It could be any time,” Woodhouse said.
Hide yo kids, hide yo bong
There’s been an increase in flat damage in the North Dunedin area over Flo and O Week.
Critic spoke to Lulu Gordon, a student whose flat got messed up on the final days of O Week. Lulu was in her lounge enjoying a post-bender Maccas feast with her flatties when a couple of Long Whites were hurled through the window. Lulu pointed out that Long Whites were “a suitable bitch drink” for the perpetrators. The lads fled the scene only to return on Monday to check “out their handy work.” It is unclear if Lulu returned fire.
