There’s a funny little story on Woroni detailing little known workings of the student unionism.
Enough to make you thank the Howard Government for VSU!

thanks kids, you didn’t disappoint 😉
She provoked us! 🙂
Come on Jb, we went a whole week without opressing the Left through our mere existence.
Never underestimate the power of RiotACT to offend.
Nor underestimate the number of people who can’t take a joke…
And there I was thinking we’d been getting better =(

The only worse than student unionsim is actual unions.

Since when did the Riotact comment section become Misogynists ‘R’ Us? You boys are an embarrassment. Try sticking to the topic at hand. *Braces self for being told to ‘lighten up and take a joke, femmo-nazi’*
I only believe in student unionism where both oily feral chicks have used a douche.
D.ckhead scumbag thugs – good riddance to them.
I was another unfortunate one just to miss out on not having to fork out $200 student union fees for services I never used. All this bullsht about the fees subsidising food in the refectory, when the food was always a similar price to any food court in shopping centres around canberra, and it was half the quality. The only decent place in the ANU refectory was the fish and chips place near the bar.. if they didn’t over or under cook the food.
I fail to see the point in the student union anyway, when a whole 1000 odd out of the 10,000+ students actually bother voting because nobody gives a toss about the fantatical left or right wing polictical wannabes.
Anyway I found it amusing that the splash ad for the Woroni page is “dream large – University of Melbourne”, is the student newspaper selling out? lol
Students are tards. Gawd they think they know everything….
Student unions in action: In 1986 tertiary education in Australia was free. In 1996 full fee paying places were passed into law. Thank God they went.
As for all the shite about services, since when were students so special that they had to have their own sporting clubs etc? Any private operator who can’t turn a profit running a bar or catering service at a university should give up business. And universities themselves should provide childcare etc if they want a competitive edge. After all, the students are paying to go there. Better that than paying for a bunch of hippie communists or little Libs to indulge themselves.
I’d say that a lot of that list could be applied to just about any uni student union. ‘Tis the nature of the beast.
(‘Not having a Facebook group’ is a grievous failing these days?)
… and from what I recall, the ANU Union has always been less than competent.
So it’s a pretty low bar then. Given that, you’d expect that even the Labor club could run it at break even … or am I dreaming?

Between 1997 and 2001 it was only $180 (plus GST post July 2000)
Despite VSU, student life at ANU chuggs along and femmo chicks with d*cks continue to fart arse around.
VSU or no VSU, ANU is always full of political hacks trying to get their factional jollies off one way or another. And from what I recall, the ANU Union has always been less than competent. So nothing too new here.
I voted against affiliation with NUS.
Yeah we are all really doing it tough now that we don’t have to pay $400 a year for our 10% discount Buzz.
Pretty sure GSF was only ~200$ a year?
So I’m guessing that the reason the Bakery charges 10c more for soft-drinks is not by choice?
It was also funny to see that one of the platforms a group was using to run for the Union election was the promise of a Subway and Boost Juice store in the refectory. I’m hoping that they were going for the Joke Vote and not a disillusioned group that thought they could make any difference to anything.
