I don't think they had anything against The Update per se, as much as they did the fact that it was an ISA project ("trespassing" on a Union event without permission from the Union Board controlled by political factions we're fighting against), and that, in their words, "it's offensive, and they've had a lot of complaints about the content". They do this, because they know that not only does The Update undermine the veil of secrecy they're trying to force students under, but that it'd piss me off greatly. I swear, I'd like to wipe that smirk off Sam Crosby's face. And don't get me started on that bitch Rose Jackson. It was like the 2004 SRC Election all over again, trying to intimidate me out of the election. Sam Crosby really did come through with his threat though, the Sydney Eclectic Composers Society lost Union funding, and is now an ISA society (the first of what we hope will be many).
They wanted me physically banned from the campus, full stop. Only by virtue of the fact that I actually am a student at the University (as opposed to the many student politicians who come on campus from other unis to campaign for various political causes [and yes, even in o-week]) has the restriction been limited to campaigning on campus during O-week. There are at least two Union directors who will come to bat for me at Union Board, but it's too late to do anything about it now.
