Why student associations should be voluntary

If one ever needed a reason for why student associations should be voluntary, look at this report on the VUWSA Exec:

These people run an organisation with a couple of million dollars budget, which is forcibly funded by every student.

We have:

* The Welfare VP jumping onto a stage where someone had just flashed their breasts, to make sure she was “okay”
* Then she attacks the President for not defending her from the crowd who made fun of her
* The Education VP is attacked by the President for being too hungover to do his duties

And this is the first week of the year. Muppets indeed.

Talking of Salient, I did like this tag for the new MyVictoria portal. They tagged it “Like MySpace, but with fewer paedophiles”
