Well done Victoria University debaters

Congratulations to the team of debaters from Victoria University of Wellington who won the Australasian Intervarsity Debating Champs in Korea last night, the world’s second largest debating tournament with over 115 teams.

It is the second year in a row that Victoria has won the tournament, and the fifth time since 1975. The tournament features teams from all over Australia and Asia, including top universities like Sydney and Melbourne.

Victoria will defend the title as hosts next year in Wellington. I hope to get along and see some debates! The 2006 tournament in Wellington was excellent.

The winning team members are Seb Templeton, Richard D’Ath and Udayan Mukherjee. Well done on the win.
