Mike King: Gumboot Friday founder and mental health advocate labels proposed alcohol ban at Dunedin event 'overreach'
Manage episode 447541867 series 2098282
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."
