NOLS is the National Organisation of Labor Students. At USYD, they're known as "Action"

I'm thinking next year I'll either keep the RESOLVE name (So I can recycle posters)
you're running again next year? hasnt your humiliating performance this year been enough to convince you that usyd students are absolutely uninterested in having you as src president?

I'm considering it. USYD students don't vote because they don't care. My job is to ensure that students realise that if they don't vote, that they're the ones getting screwed.

Besides, that's rich of you considering that Choice only scored 10% of the vote. Considering the size of my election budget and my team, my 2% is HUGE compared to the Libs. Not that I'm trying to be critical, this election has proven that Left (Resolve) and Right (Choice) can work together to promote student interests. Fact is though, that those people who'd normally vote for the Choice/Resolve coalition are the ones who just don't care about the election because they have no intention of staying members.

I learnt some interesting anecdotes about the NUS in the last couple of days. They're not allowed to have an Australian flag in their conferences, only the Aboriginal one.

Also a few years ago they couldn't find an aboriginal elder to open their conference in Melbourne, so three days after the conference was supposed to start someone flew up to Sydney, picked up a random abo from Redfern, got him to pose as an elder and opened the conference.

Somewhere between 2 and 3 thousand, which was smaller than in previous years I believe.
