An unofficial Hottest 100 party in Melbourne has been cancelled after Victoria Police issued a pretty cheeky warning on the event’s Facebook event page, which had over 6,000 people ‘Attending’ and over 20,000 ‘Interested’ before being shelved.

Local blokes Jai Motherwell and Clint White had planned a Hottest 100 party at St Kilda Beach for this Australia Day, but Victoria Police today crashed the event’s Facebook page (that’s its cheeky cover photo, above) in order to point out some issues.
“Hi Jai and Clint. This is Victoria Police,” reads the Facebook post.
“We know this party is not sanctioned by Triple J, so we’re assuming you haven’t got any permits from Port Phillip Council either? If that’s the case, we’ll pay you a visit on Australia Day and let’s hope we don’t spoil your party!”
Since Victoria Police’s post, triple j Breakfast hosts Matt Okine & Alex Dyson have extended their support to Jai and Clint…
You have our sanction Jai and Clint! Posted by Matt and Alex on Thursday, 14 January 2016
