I didn't steal it, I satirised it![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

I think I just figured out what Keep Left actually stands for.
As such you have little right to point out how disadvantaged you are compared to Rose based on your economic, racial, physcical - whatever factors. This includes being a con student.Phanatical said:Comparing myself to Rose Jackson is just one argument as to how Affirmative Action is a flawed (at best) policy. If we have AA for women, why not AA for men? Why not AA for Asians? Why not AA for Affiliate campus students? Why not AA for goth lesbians? Why not AA for cannibals? The point is that Affirmative Action cannot work, for the simple fact that it creates a division where none should exist. This is why I'm also opposed to the maintenance of the Women's Officer, and why I support a "Gender Issues and Equal Opportunty Officer" - Something is obviously wrong when it's a policy of the NUS that representation for men is (and this is a direct quote) "symptomatic of a Backlash Society".
But not ALL con students are disadvantaged! No special rights! Why should I have to pay for a minorty etc etc. Why should those con students who are not disadvantaged but were rather born with silver spoons up their arses get assistance!?Phanatical said:THAT said, as a Con student I feel that students at affiliated campuses DO have a legitimate complaint about the SRC. The solution for them though is not to sit at the outskirts of the SRC, but to have their own.
the beauty pageant contestents all want the world to be a better place too. doesn't say much for Keep Left now does it?melbournian said:Cause they actually have policies? Cause they actually want the world to be a better place?
Phanatical you are a left winger.Phanatical said:grk_styl, you make an excellent point.

All of the major parties, except Keep Left, have policy directly relating to students. Choice happens to have policies which are destructive - things aren't working, so get rid of them, instead of trying to fix them.wikiwiki said:The fact is, Choice is one of the few parties that actually has policies directly relating to REPRESENTING STUDENTS.
withoutaface said:You can't do it even if you aren't campaigning. I can't remember what the penalties are, but I'd presume it'd be something along the lines of having your student subscriptions revoked without refund. And that "gay" SRC candidate was probably the one that wants to abolish the queer collective. How ironic.
Action's supposed non-destructive methods will mean that post-VSU the SRC will be provide the same negligable benefit for the majority of students for the same price, and it will rot and die. Keep in mind that the SRC will not survive upon the contributions of queer and ethnic students alone.Techie said:All of the major parties, except Keep Left, have policy directly relating to students.

And myg0t, if you think the doings of Federal Labor have anything to do with student politics, you are as delusional as Keep Left. As wikiwiki did rightly post, this is about student issues. Just because certain parties align themselves with wider political spheres doesn't mean they are devoted to all of the policy or actions taken by those wider community parties. It's about applying the same priorities to our own specific sphere. Where student issues are being discussed in wider society or by the legislature (such as with VSU or the Liberals' failure to index higher education spending), then the positions are likely to be very similar, but otherwise wider comparisons are not valid at all.
Oh, was that Nick Wood? If so then good on them.gordo said:it was the one who looks like he's 16
