Man, VSU is good. The Universal Declaration of HUman Rights Article 20 (2) says "No one may be compelled to belong to an association." But then again there's many things in the UDHR that we son't uphold. Like the right to equal pay for equal work... I could crap on for hours. Anyway, I didn't go to the rally, even though there were things that I would have rallied for because of the Anti VSU focus. The problem is definately withthe government and the system but I wont protest to bring back an archaic law saying that I HAVE to be a member of a union if I wish to go to Uni. DOn't get me wrong, John Howard needs a good lick up the arse (SEDITION!) but this may be one of the few good things he's actually done for our rights. I think students should spend less time rallying and more time educating other students about the importance of joining a now voluntary union. Sorry bout the huge comment. I tried to restrain myself.
see i dont agree. the main focus was VSU, but if you listen to what people are saying at the rally, it is, bring back compulsary unionism or SUBSIDISE. i dont agree that you should be made to be part of any organisation that you dont want to be part of, but its the same as compulsary voting- nobody would do it if they didnt have to
