The street was a sea of green as revellers moved from flat to flat, seemingly undeterred by a drizzly Dunedin morning. It's just a binge drink day - and it's started already. It started at 8am this morning people were already dressed in green, drinking, walking down the street," Snr Sgt Dinnissen said. Snr Sgt Dinnissen said police were aware of large parties planned for today, with one expected to attract 500 revellers in North Dunedin. That created issues with broken glass, so Snr Sgt Dinnissen had a simple message for revellers.
