Show Notes
The founder of Gumboot Friday has voiced his disapproval with authorities banning alcohol from a Dunedin event.
Police are looking to stop a suicide prevention charity for applying for a temporary liquor license ahead of a fashion show designed to raise awareness.
Mike King says this move is 'classic overreach'.
"This is a bunch of young, polytech students who have a fashion show where they want to raise awareness and funds for a local suicide prevention trust. It has nothing to do with the trust - this is just an avenue for young people who care about the well-being of other people."
