Critic culls Cull

Critic culls Cull

Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull has refused to partake in a debate with legal high lobbyist Grant Hall after calling for consumers to boycott businesses that sell synthetic cannabis products. While defending his position, Cull alluded to a fear that his opponent-to-be had been “imbibing a bit much,” in a blatant case of defamation. Critic speculates this is due to Cull’s own shady past with synthetic cannabis, which saw him mistake hallucinations earlier in the week for a Holy Moment in which God told him not to engage with the Dalai “Demon” Lama.

This recent speaking impediment does not bode well for Cull in an election year, with his own culling looking increasingly likely. He has, however, attempted to bribe the minimal student vote by agreeing to finally recognise students as citizens of Dunedin, rather than visitors.
