Update me on VSU (2 Viewers)

[withoutaface]

People will vote with their wallets.

 

[walrusbear]

sadly that may be true
it's what the VSU campaign is built on

 

[Collin]

By the looks of it VSU will be passed no matter what

Phew! 123456789

 

[walrusbear]

yeah thank god we didn't show any restraint
any form of collective power in this country must be destroyed at ANY cost

 

[Collin]

Not really.

Why shouldn't they?

Stop being such an annoying troll and actually involve yourself in a debate for a change.

For the record, the issue of VSU goes beyond the individual's wallet and poses important questions regarding collective action and support.

Edit: MPs resist Nelson over uni vote

It's a referendum on whether or not you want the choice to be able to not pay your fees...

What the fuck are you talking about? Why shouldn't people care about their wallets when it comes to this issue? This is a serious question.

And what are these important questions regarding collective support and action, O wise one?

It may have been a serious contribution, but given what you have contributed to other debates in the past... A simple mistake.

As to the important issues that I mentioned, there's no need to be a little tart and if you bothered to read through at least a part of this thread you would know what it is that I am referring to.

They should, that was my point.

Libs frustrated over VSU rift

Funding option for uni sports clubs

Nelson's not joking about VSU vote

New VSU moves get angry response

Fielding has indicated that he's anti-CSU, but has not decided where he stands on the bill itself. This should be interesting...

 

[walrusbear]

what sort of outcome is this going to come to?
is the any chance at all that VSU will be rejected??

As I said, Fielding's put up a poker face and noone knows what cards he's holding.

Family first has issues with the country folk?

I like sport and I don't think I'm a 'jock'!

 

[Not-That-Bright]

VSU would be extremely popular amongst the populace... both amongst labor and liberal voters. I think it would be wise for labor to try to play down this bill, not make a big deal out of it...

um...labor currently supports VSU in priciple. They share the view of Barnaby.

So perhaps if there was government resources allocated to child care / sport for universities, labor would be willing to accept VSU?

ANother fee??

That's no surprise, look at NSW State Government Departments, you practically pay a fee for everything, even if you don't use it.
