BTW JC – I’ve written for Salient in the past, I know how it works, and I certainly don’t hate the magazine, just self-indulgent drivel.

This is such a pathetic thread, people need to get a life, especially Meegan (what stupid spelling of that name).

Although Conrad’s take is an inherently personal one, thats to be expected. Its a blog. And I think he did a fine job bringing these issues to light.

He also appears to have confused his capacity as media and as a student, in believing he should have been allowed into closing plenary.

NZUSA doesn’t do anything anyway, so he wouldn’t have missed much.

B. I didn’t know you were a journalist until closing plenary Conrad and had this been bought up earlier I certainly would have objected to you participating in workshops I was in.

We’ve made an executive decision to limit this to the sports column for the rest of the year. Be on the look out for my thought-provoking piece, “Inside the Six-Hour-Long Orgasm of Sophie That Slapper Who Fucked English Winger David Strettle” including a microchip embedded within the spine that plays what will most likely be me – faux female accent and all – moaning orgasmically.

Also, this thread is utter garbage and I’m embarrassed for nearly everyone.

I’m also going to disagree with you t referring to our delegates’ comments as ignorant towards issues. I believe our delegates spoke passionately about issues and causes they have actively been involved in on a national level during their years at Victoria University. Many of the have taken Majors at Victoria University studying these particular issues as well and I’m surprised they managed to stay so calm at times. I myself was particularly disappointed by the response to motions put forward by UniQ— with my sexual orientation aside— these motions had come from students who were asking for support from associations around the country and they were treated illogically by some of the organisations they seek assistance from. Take the motion to investigate the hosting and maintenance of the national UniQ website. Jordan Williams is paid to do exactly this sort of thing and it would require a minimal amount of effort at the cost of Jordan’s time, time which these UniQ students’ are paying for yet many associations voted against it. I guess these students’ only need look at the minutes to see who truly supports them.
