Notorious Scarfie 'tender' flat linked to high profile rugby players
Otago Scarfies wanting to rent the "most notorious flat on campus" were asked to submit their "best offer" as part of a controversial tender.
The rental process for the flat known as 'Debacle', which features a booze and bong-loving cartoon character on the front door, was slammed by Housing and Urban Development Minister Phil Twyford.
"It is disappointing that Cutlers Property Management treat the renting out of properties to students as a game," he said of the way the company had marketed the nine-bedroom flat in the heart of Dunedin's student quarter.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
