This is the problem that most people apparently have with her (she is a woman) My problem isn't that SHY is a woman, or that she's young. My problem with her is that she was the President of the Uni Adelaide Student's Association when I was there, and in a sea of self aggrandising, money wasting student politician fuckheads she managed to stand head and shoulders above the rest as the biggest waste of Oxygen on campus. I number every box below the line in the Senate voting, and while I generally number the greens candidates very highly (top of the list last election), I number her down the bottom with the lunatics from Family First. Pointless gesture, but I do it anyway.

Everyone I know in their late 20s/early 30s who went to Adelaide Uni seems to really dislike her, though they've never really explained why. Were there any specific incidents or anything?

If I get above a 5 in my News and Politics class at uni this semester, I have Auspol and Telstra (for paying me to read ABC News for countless hours while looking busy) to thank for this. Sadly, I'm the mature aged student who's the know it all in this class, because apparently no one knew who our current and previous GG's were.

Were there any specific incidents or anything? My recollection is probably poor, but I believe in one year she managed to piss away the entire Association budget getting herself and about 20 others up to Woomera detention centre by bus, so that she could get her face on the news giving an interview in front of a relatively short lived protest. I think it nearly killed the student magazine On Dit that year on account of no funds. She basically spent her entire time at the Uni getting in front of cameras and preparing herself for parliament, spending all the money on political nonsense and other stuff when the Student Association is supposed to be about student services, the Union is for politicking - and she could never get elected to it. She's a born to rule twat, just happens to not be wearing a Liberal or ALP shirt for once. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 12:05 on Jul 30, 2014 |

Adding to the SHY dogpile, she's also been behind pushes at National Conference to liberalise the Greens policy platform wrt private education, private health and various other forms of handouts to the wealthy. Or at least she has been the tip of pushes started by a certain ex-leader who will remain nameless. Also she's really petty and rude to Dear Leader Lee Rhiannon, which is an unforgivable crime. SA's not all bad, though, I talked to Mark Parnell at NC the other weekend and he's super chill. You guys should make him your Senate candidate.

Jonah Galtberg posted:He said the government’s package included two “very socially progressive elements” that had received less attention, including the requirement for universities to put aside 20% of any extra fee revenue for scholarships for disadvantaged students. Young said the extension of government funding to “pathway programs” such as sub-bachelor degrees would help prepare graduates from poorer high schools so they could achieve their “true potential” in further study. Offering poors a tertiary education that wouldn't be classified as a degree is very progressive... Yes, more funding for TAFE-style education is great but wording it like a gateway drug for a more desirable, expensive education is just hosed up. 'The poor' can't achieve their true potential if they can't afford to go on to study the 'real' degree you shitlord.

We need more people in TAFE getting the kinds of education TAFE provides. The problem is that everybody thinks TAFE is a consolation prize for people who couldn't get into uni and don't respect it, so you get people running off to uni to get a bachelors they barely care about and creating degree inflation. TAFE needs a massive funding boost and people need to stop talking poo poo about it. It is/was a brilliant institution.

I've seen Bandt at quite a few events at the housing estates in the area (including a few small ones like a small anti-domestic violence lunch that only got a dozen or so people attending) and he's always been very friendly, and good at taking to everyone and taking questions without giving BS responses. Offered some support for a project I was working on as well which was great. Can't say enough good words about the man. I'm happy with Milne, but Bandt would be an excellent choice whenever she retires (or Ludlam of course).

It might be different in person, but in broadcast media Adam has the occasional bad habit of dodging questions with rehearsed boilerplate. He's still literally the best member of the House, though, it's a minor sin.

"Networking" a.k.a a university's Old Boys network will became as important as grades and experience when it comes to getting a job after graduation. What's that? You have excellent grades and went to a regional university because you couldn't afford a go8 or live too far away? No, no. Surely it's because you're an illiterate peasant.
