This and the following message came through the email from my friend Jacqui in Brisbane:
The federal government's proposed voluntary student unionism (VSU) legislation will effectively sound the death knell for university sport in Australia (along with just about every other service offered by student organisations). On Sunday night, federal education minister Dr Brendon Nelson called in to the North Ryde Hockey field to watch his daughter play. The match that had just ended featured Macquarie University and UTS. Bad timing Brendan. *smile for the camera* Keep writing to your MP's. VSU has NOT been passed just yet.
