The ABC is carrying bitter accusations from Snowy River Shire that ski season vandalism running at $6,000 a month is directly linked to university holidays.
“Particularly early on in the winter time it was horrific and council was averaging about $6,000 [damage] a month to its own infrastructure and let alone to private infrastructure around the area… But one thing that did come out, it seems to be worse in the university holidays and that was the same as what it was last time.”
They’re running a conference on how to reduce this anti-social behaviour.
They better be careful what they wish for, I’d wager that boozing uni students account for a lot more income to the region than a piddling $6k, and they’ll come regardless of how crap the snow is.
