Well I can't see any precedent for only 10% students remaining members, unless of course the union isn't viewed as fiscally responsible.
Even at 30% and drop in fees of 50% (as seen in WA, where the union wasn't seen as fiscally irresponsible) that is still 15% of the revenue.
Also on that note, it seems a large amount of USU supporters call other people selfish, after mentioning how they love all the services offered TO THEM. It is often just as selfish of them, to expect others to help provide services to them.
I don't expect others to support my services unless they choose to, I will likely remain a member of the SRC and USU (SU sport I don't know much about). But I don't expect others to pay it for me if they don't use the services, they already do enough of that through taxes.
Just on aside, although I have used my figures to be pro VSU, that is just because I am sure there are many others who use the services at the same scale (ie fairly little), it should not be up to them, unless they choose, to support those who use the services alot more.
Asquithian: I've done numerous collections for charities, from ANZAC day badge appeals to the Red Shield Appeal, people seem to be willing to part with their money even if it doesn't impact them directly. (With donations being from what they have on them to >$50).
