Re: The Official Union Board Elections 2007 Thread
and its good u say that radio is there, so it has been implemented by rose from last year. i also remember markets at verge arts festival last year and i read the report in the bull last year about direct election of president by tom which was beaten at agm - just read your website where you saidthat they stacked some agm. i don't know if it would be true because they could have done that even last year. and there are board members from everywhere.
i don't know but i find it so easy to counter your arguments. try and be more convincing justin. not enough reception and no one listens is so weird because i know how succesful this idea in american colleges such as boston(my friend rjed and she loved it so much) and i'm sure they'd get a lot of money by advertising like they do from bull. and anyways, thats not his only policy.
and yeah, need more better policies from you - not 5 dollar meals which you say is at lansdowne but rips u off because u have to buy 4 dollar drinks with the meal.. still a ripoff.
hahaha this is funny. 99 dollars happened because of VSU not because of any specific board member. i know the president introduced the plan with services manager(i was there at a forum last year where it was mentioned).withoutaface said:It's not just for 5 days during O-Week, it's on for about 3-4 weeks. Running student radio all year would be, imo, impractical and a waste of resources for the following reasons:
a) the quality of presenters is generally lacking (I should know, even I was on there at one point last year)
b) reception is dodgy just about everywhere
c) nobody listens to it
The fact that the policies listed are somewhat different doesn't matter, it's the fact that NLS continually run under policies they have no real intention of implementing. This is in contrast to Mark Chan (former Union VP) who ran under the premise of getting a proper membership card to access discounts (which has been implemented), and Simon Fontana (current board director) who ran under cutting the fee (which has now fallen from $270 to $99) and bringing private food outlets to Wentworth (for those of you playing at home, Wentworth was a very different and overall more depressing place back in 2005 with a couple of Union owned outlets and that was it).
I think that it's a pertinent issue, and I'd suggest that Ruchir does too given that he published his blog on AA before I did expressing his support for it. In other words nobody should vote purely based on AA, just as nobody should vote based on any one policy, but it's still an issue and one that is important to make a judgement on.
