Otago University Students' Association

i don't know like it would always shock me because you two just didn't seem like the mischievous types but always love to see it um now one thing that i've been trying to do and i've asked the pool house guys i've asked jesse from ivy and i want to ask you this because something that i want to get to the bottom of is what do you think the best touring vehicle of all time is

I think the best touring vehicle is specifically the OUSA van.

Did Jesse say that?

No, no, Jesse.

Tell us a little bit about the van.

I was going to do a special episode on it, but I haven't yet.

So you tell us about the OUSA van.

Well, it also depends which van you're talking about because I went with luxury because, of course, it depends if you're looking for more of a cargo option or if you've got a lot of band members.

Yeah, well, we... very community focused with all of our partnerships and trying our best to get that achieved.

I mean, we're one of the only campuses that has our campus cop installed, the campus watch, what you've spoken about in the previous speaker, and a really good relationship with our council, OUSA, in trying to, I guess, put these measures in place to provide the safest possible, I guess, area and avenue for these young people to keep them safe while they're in our city.

Is it working, though? I mean, how would you describe the youth drinking culture in Dunedin?

Look, I think young people are going to be young people, regardless of whether that's in Dunedin nationally or internationally, right?

What do you think politicians could be doing for Dunedin to help out in the long

term? I think, oh, I heard Francisco Hernandez saying at, I think, the OUSA candidates debate

that,

like, it's just considered a Labour safe seat and National doesn't even have a candidate that lives in Dunedin.

Yeah.

But I think there's some truth to that because it is so far away.

And with the OUSA leaders debate and all that, none of the leaders came apart from Chloe Swarbrick and Luke DiBello, who lives in Dunedin.

So, yeah, I do think it's really overlooked.
