vsu is like, voluntary student unionism (paying in voluntary, hence name)

therefore, if that's the case, usyd can't force us pay 577 ... tis a voluntary contribution...

haha- its ironic that they're protesting to cut uni. fees- whilst they're also fighting to keep the $577 compulsory.

haha, man- whats the point of bashing up cops and storming the vice chancellors building- well i don't think it'll stop the fees, but it would've given the coppers a run for their salaries.

bashing up cops - hardly!!! if you'd seen the actual fight, the spray was so unprovoked, some dickhead took the cop's hat off and for that he sprayed the whole crowd.

LOL I can't believe the guy got pepper sprayed for taking off the cops hat - was the cop bold and hiding it or something?

 

[Wyvern]

or maybe the cop was actually this guy, then i could understand it

i think the dude had a bad hair day, so when they took of his hat- he got really pissed.

yeah, not suprising, if u watch frontline, u'll know that the media want action, so i wouldn't b suprised if they incited all the violence.

Just have to comment that they could have really done better than 'Fuck Shit Up' as a slogan.. I mean, it isn't exactly workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains, you have a whole world to gain. in terms of revolutionary eloquence.

And yes, the ironies were rife.

With a student body of around 40000, only a few hundred, if that, would have bothered to attend the rally... Nobody cares. It is that simple.
