VUWSA supports VSM

At the final SRC of 2009, the good students of Victoria University voted 45 – 35 that VUWSA actively support Sir Roger Douglas’ Education (Freedom of Association) Amendment Bill.

This means VUWSA is now obliged to put in a submission in support of the Bill, which will make student associations voluntary.

Jenna Raeburn was at the SRC and live blogged the multiple tactics used to try and prevent a vote – multiple quorum counts, competing motions etc.

There are going to be some very upset student politicians tonight.

Congratulations to those 45 students who took the time to turn up and vote, and most of all for being subtle enough about it, to pull off a superb tactical assault.
