    Students criticise media for ‘unfair’ depiction of scarfie behaviour
    Dunedin tertiary students are under the national spotlight, drawing attention for unruly behaviour. And that’s prompting some to point the finger at media, for unfairly representing the local student body.

    Isolated alcohol incidents have created … unwarranted animosity towards the entire student population.

    ‘Sunday’ show one-sided
    By Ben Cochrane and Hugo Norton
    OPINION Regarding the Sunday programme on TV about Dunedin students, we are studying in Dunedin and wholeheartedly agree there is a drinking problem, yet we believe the segment presented a very one-sided argument. […] Sunday has unfairly tarnished the reputation of Otago University students and is in no way going to have any positive effect on the drinking culture.

    Carol Devine talks to the aftermath of TVNZ’s Sunday programme, ‘City of learning or Part Central?’ (10 May).

    THE CAROL BRAND

    GiG

    How the booze barons are working it!!
    What clearer evidence could we have of how this campaign is being expertly engineered to make it very personal. ‘Carol’ has become the new brand for the party crowd. Nothing offensive, but clearly aimed at Carol Devine.

    ‘The Wall’ is a Christchurch club, so ‘Carol’ is going wider than Dunedin….

    Police are aware of the situation and monitoring what’s happening —meantime, the Carol Brand gains momentum !!

    TROLL SITE

    TrollsTroll site, complete with names showing of the first 19 people who ‘Liked’ the doctored image.

    Interesting to see if these Key Players are connected with the problem flat at 2 View Street, Dunedin ???! Does their endorsement of this fake page and doctored image constitute harassment / Internet bullying? What is the court of public opinion?

    Courageous twerps, aren’t they!
    If the site has been taken down does that mean the names of Likes are gone? If so it’s unfortunate. I’m sure in a few years’ time they or someone they encounter would be fascinated to google their names and read what jolly japes they’d been up to in 2015. Perhaps someone will do them a favour and copy their names so they remain searchable.

    • Elizabeth

      Hype, everything relevant has been recorded by Police for potential evidentiary use.

      Name and shame is fully possible.

      Individuals conducting the Carol campaign are traced, especially the senior dental student and the medical student… Hello guys! Love your photos.

      Police have been efficient.

      Further, What if? is being monitored closely.

    Local university students are being investigated for allegedly harassing a Dunedin woman. She’s made headlines nationwide for criticising out-of-control student parties. And now police and university staff are responding to claims that she’s being further victimised as a result.

    The rights and wrongs of city student flats
    By Carla Green
    This week is Flatting Week, Otago University Students’ Association’s annual initiative to educate students about flatting and tenants’ rights. […] The OUSA has run initiatives to inform students about their rights as tenants and what to look for in flats for about 10 years, association student advocate Philippa Keaney says.

    ● HE DOES… Dunedin landlord Jim Casey treats his flats and his tenants well.

  10. Anonymous

    Having dealt with Jim Casey on a number of occasions, there are no questions with regard to his character, and the approach that he takes to maintaining standards of his properties and tenants.

    • Anna

      I wish Jim Casey owned and managed more properties across City Rise (and north Dn) – from what I hear and experience, his example is not the norm – property management should not be as difficult as it seems to be for many property owners and managers – I do not understand why there seems to be an overall poor standard and why the community tolerates such a low standard of property management and tenancy agreements- there seems to be a community acceptance that nothing else is possible or can be attained?

    ODT: Flat attack terrifies student
    A Hyde St resident who discovered four women trashing his flat yesterday morning says crime on the North Dunedin party street is ”getting worse”. The University of Otago student, who did not want to be named, said he was “terrified” after arriving home about 1am yesterday to find furniture and rubbish strewn across his living room and bathroom, light fittings smashed and four unknown women in his flat.

    • Hype O'Thermia

      ‘Acting Otago Coastal Area commander inspector Kelvin Lloyd said police wanted to speak to the women who entered the Hyde St flat to ascertain ”what their motives were”.’
      WTF? What relevance is their MOTIVES? People come into other people’s house covertly, uninvited, and trash it including breaking fittings.

      Identify, arrest, then let them tell their motives to the judge if he/she has the patience to listen. How much spare time do police have if they are prepared to faff around finding out about these lowlifes’ MOTIVES?
