And the numbers just keep falling and falling. Maybe people will start to take it all seriously when the candidates promote policies that aren't either completely unrealistic, or just plain silly vote-grabbing.

Oh, and when there's a reasonable number of candidates for the amount of positions on offer.

Wishful thinking?

This year we started with enough candidates. You can blame Labor Right for the lack of serious contenders...

That number is so very small.
its pretty small however you look at it, as a % of the uni population (i.e.. about 5%) or even just as a % of union members.. (i.e. about 25%).

It's funny cause today we approved funding to upgrade the bbq (steak and chips imminent), are in the process of finalising commem day being on the front lawns (another policy done) and Subway is also probable for USyd Central.

Wooo ridiculous policies which are actually achievable.

Pepper sauce to be placed on the next agenda.

Up the very top.

ooh, subway! although there are actually 2 subways within walking distance of uni, but having it on campus would be pretty awesome nonetheless.
