End Voluntary Student Unionism

Our third demand is against Voluntary Student Unionism. The Labor Government have finally released the findings of their review into the effects of Voluntary Student Unionism (VSU) on students, and the results are not surprising in the least.

To summarise: VSU is destroying university life, essential student services, and our capacity to organize politically to stand up for ourselves. If you want more details, go to the DEWR website.

National Day of Action for the 20th of August

Demand Fair and Equitable Income Support for Students

We will be arguing for changes in income support for students. Changes include reducing the age of independence from 25 to 18 years of age, excepting scholarships from the income test, aligning payments to above the poverty line (currently they sit below it by roughly 25-30%), and by increasing the parental income threshold.

 

Stop Illegal Course Fees

All universities in Australia have been breaking the law since 1988! The Higher Education Funding Act of 1988 stipulates that a higher education provider cannot charge fees for essential course materials. If you have to pay money for assessments: that’s illegal. If you have to pay money for lab equipment that cannot be accessed elsewhere: that’s illegal. If you have to pay money for course readers and notes, and there are not adequate supplies in the library: That’s illegal.
