IMPORTANT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ALL CLAYTON STUDENTS
student elections are on in week 9 from the 18th – 21st of September, and this year, for the first time since 2013, there’s actually a team running who have a good shot at defeating what Lot’s Wife called in 2011 Go!: The Evil Empire. They’ve been in power for 12 years and have made some incredibly shifty fiscal decisions over time. They were responsible for selling the union building to monash uni who renamed it the “campus centre” and have successively installed more and more chain restaurants to the point where Sir John’s is now running at an annual loss of about 100k.
They were the people who donated 50,000 dollars worth of student money to a company run by Labor party members and coincidentally the people who made that decision wound up with cushy NUS jobs afterwards. They were the people who found a way to make the purchase of a Toyota Corolla cost the union $54k. They’re the party who run deceptive feeder tickets like "24 Hour Libraries" and "Free Beer" to trick students into voting for them. They’re the party who every year treat the accomplishments of national student movements and development and lobbying by Monash Centrale as if they were their own achievements (see: “Go! defeated 100k degrees”, “Go! brought you the 601 bus”, “Go! introduced x number of parking spaces”, "Go! reduced the minimum age of centrelink allowances", etc. etc.). Please,
please do not put these ladder climbing CV stackers back into power for a 13th year, I'm not sure the MSA can survive it. They don’t care about what the MSA can do for students, they care about what the MSA can do for their future political careers. Vote for Together for an MSA that’s transparent and that students actually notice/care about.
/PSA, hope everyone doesn't hate me for shilling, peace out.
