I don’t think there is any mystery behind the objection that some people have with university students being forced to fund university based political groups such as the radical Socialist Alternative.

The Liberal Students Federation might do well to ponder that while Senator Xenophon is an erstwhile member of their organisation (ca 1977, Uni of Adelaide), he was also a high profile of a campus student newspaper editor, a position funded by the (involuntary) contributions from the members of the Adelaide University Union. He was also an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency of the Adelaide University Students Association (the “political” or activist wing of the Union). Perhaps he may harbour some residual fondness for the monetary contributions University students should make to the cultural, social and sporting life of their institutions, and isn’t necessarily the easy mark current Liberal students may make him out to be.

God you’re a spoilsport Bernard.
I thought that pointing out the misspelling of the
good senator’s name was particularly cruel.
