[katie tully]

i think this is great

i didnt support vsu, and the cap is another positive sttep forward

Great going HSC of 2008.

Local students are more likely to take part in university activities than foreign students. There are a great deal of full fee paying foreign students in Australian universities.

Therefore, this move is beneficial to Local university students.


ITT: butthurt people.

So you're saying that if Howard were still PM this would be happening?

lol. credibility went right out the window there, douchehead.

I don't think anyone was denying that.

Why should International students have to pay that shit also? Do you even go to university?

 

[Apey MatrixElf]

i think the idea's pretty great!!
we have to pay $$ and i'm fricking DIRT POOR, but the unis would be so much better for it.
we're helping others to help ourselves

 

[elleeoo]

Communism is a society where each one works according to his abilities and gets according to his needs.

They save him $600/year in compulsory student union fees.

I know the article quoted that figure, but I must say, I've not seen it as the fee anywhere.

Which unis charge $600 for their union fees??

 

[katie tully]

USYD did.

 

[wazza.wins]

man i should have shat in his letter box for halloween; what a little dweeb

 

[jb_nc]

Yeah from what I've heard USyd was up near $500+

I suppose that it DOES create an incentive to get involved with campus groups, to get your value. Plus it mixes rich bright kids with more modest bright kids, and I think that's good.
Yer actually
I think that government knows best. It is sending a message that you will not be a fulfilled human being without a rich balance of social organisations, and I fully agree. Actually I think that this would be pretty important in socialising youth into a broader community mindset, rather than -study for me-get degree for me-make money for me.
It's like taxes for kids, where we can see the direct application of our funds and each individual has a pretty good chance to successfully alter the use of those funds, if it means so much to them
I applaud the initiative

Yes, his.

 

[Iron]

I dont know about other unis, but I think that ANU is pretty well segregated atm. Asian computer labs, muslim study areas, etc. Without this proposal, there is chance of ethnic tensions which arent Australian
Serious, i'm so on board
Sorz for ever doubting u Rudd

lol. you know the govnt is wrong but you just dont wanna admit it. Thats the result of labour. "True to their word" as they would say.

 

[Iron]

uh sure

 

[katie tully]

wait iron, so you're saying people of different ethnic backgrounds will interact more if theyre forced to pay a fee

lol wot
