SAM Board Elections. (2 Viewers)

[cpjeeves]

I didn't get anything in the mail either, I only knew about it from here. I'm glad I voted though, good to see Phil Betts got in.

 

[cro_angel]

maybe because im classified as an external student they mailed it to me then..
i got one with all their photos and reasons

 

[Phanatic]

Only external students and SIBT students get postal ballots.

I think it was absolute bullshit that there wasn't any advertisement around the Uni for these elections. The only thing that even pretends to qualify is a tiny message in the notices section of The Word. One of the things I'm keen on in telling as many people as possible that there are elections, and giving them the chance to find out information before they go to vote. Otherwise it favours those who are good at on the ground campaigning, and people get suckered in by the cliched "cheaper food, cheaper beer" promises that no one ever delivers.

One of the things I want to pursue is to bring relevancy back to Passing Show, The Word, and the SAM website. At the moment I think they're rather superficial, and don't have the support of the full organisation behind them.

Oh, and in a similar vein, the MUSC Elections are on next week. These are the ones whose nominations opened and closed in the mid semester break. Make sure you do vote in those, and get all your friends to as well. You won't see any advertising for them (naturally), but they're the same as the SAM Elections, Monday to Wednesday, outside Marxines at lunch, the Library at night.

Cheers,
Phil

[philly17]

hahah good!!

 

[cpjeeves]

Didn't get to vote in the MUSC elections, they were packed up by ten past one on Wednesday (the SAM elections were still open last week by that time so that's when I was gonna vote yesterday) so yeah, that sucks.

 

[:: ck ::]

lol everytime i walked towards sam i got bombarded by these honkies telling me to vote for some random fobs ... happened twice now argh

one of them was like full watching me making sure i actually voted .... sooo annoying !!!

from now on ill take a detour whenever elections are on again haha

 

[AsyLum]

Thats why you vote for some random on the ballot

haha, i got jumped, i told the bitch to fuck off im not chinese, she was cut, or confused, not sure if she understood english (she jumped at me in chinese)

 

[rhapsody11]

hahah good!!

I'm so glad you associate with the 'Liberals' of the SAM board. They're totally the trash of our university politics, and your only liking them because they're Liberal shows what a stupid, exclusive bunch of snobbish people you are. I would vote Liberal if they impressed me, but there's something about 'Liberals voting for Liberals' that makes me sick. Why can't you use the brain that Mother Mary gave to you and vote using it?

Sean (SAM board wannabe and snotty executive of the Young MQ Liberals) understood how much Liberals are hated at Mac, and associated himself with 'The Labour [sic] Party'. I guess he didn't like Liberal's ideals of fat, slimy politicians looking after the brainwashed right-wing religious Christians. As Tim Hendry said '[Sean] knows that us students hate Liberalism, and love communism. Since we're all a bunch of unhygenic communists, we love Labor.'

 

[Calculon]

Students hate Liberalism because most of them don't understand it. They are of the belief that being a Liberal primarily means pursuit of the dollar above all else, and this is simply not true.

Also Liberals will tend to vote Liberal for a good reason, namely that they are a member of the same party because their views on issues are generally similar.

Go Calculon!! rhapsody11 you have alot of issues you need help with... What the hell are u going on about and saying "Mother Mary" Sean isnt a sam board wannabe as HE didnt run for it... He did for MUSC get your facts RIGHT. Liberals arent hated we are misunderstood people sterotype us just cose we arent all lefty like u guys ohhhh nooooo.

Yes, sorry, I meant MUSC. The whole SAM and MUSC elections being in a week made me typo. (Not to mention this thread is about SAM)

People don't stereotype you, you stereotype yourselves. If you and justin want to claim that people don't vote for you because 'lefties don't understand you', that shows what a pompous bunch of people you are. Ah man, Liberals don't vote for the left because the left suck, but the left don't vote Liberal because the left are idiots. What a pathetic comment.

I love the hypocrisy of criticising people for not understanding you, but you blatently making a comment which shows you have no understanding of anything but your right-wing fat-cat ways.

My other point still stand: It's funny that Sean, high up in the Macquarie Young Liberals, had to deny his political orientation because he wanted to get votes. Maybe he's happy to play Judas just to get on MUSC.

(edit, I did it again >_< SAM=MUSC)

i dont have a liking for the fact that i need to have a say in the set up of either sam or musc. i dont care who is president/ceo/etc. thats pretty much it.

i am only at uni to get my degree at the end, and perhaps to socialise.

 

[redruM]

would have thought philomena would have quoted or addressed it to rhapsody.

and also, more time travelling!

 

[rhapsody11]

I like your style;

You: Hahhahaha yay for liberals.
Me: You suck.
You: no you suck.
Me: Actually, you suck more.
You: hu r u? lyk explain urself.

 

[philly17]

What I meant was Like explain what group you are from before you start attacking! I'd like to know your viewpoint and situation
