no political groups to speak of..
just another quick thing. i dont know if anyone else went to market day.. it was that sad almost life-ending sad gathering of tents that was handing out pamphlets and telling people to sign up for things (medieval club?) .. anyway, why are there no political groups? there’s almost 800 law students but no political group to speak of? maybe there are groups but they weren’t at market day..i hope so. Personally, I’m a liberal supporter (but they have to get their act together) and I hope there is a liberal group to speak of at QUT..

So why are you a liberal supporter? I prefer the liberty and democracy party myself.
You are going to be at university for 5 years, go make your own political group. By the way if you really do like the liberals why not join the young liberal party?
There was actually??? There was the one that doesn’t support war? umm..socialists? My friend got recruited by them…hehe.
And I’m a liberal supporter too…shame I couldn’t vote last election….
I believe the liberals policies are better (even though all of the MPs are messing around right now!!)why democracy…did you vote? that means you support labor? every time I hear Kevin Rudds voice on tv I feel sick. Though I have to add that his campaign prior to the election was extremely well run but the media was completey partial. To answer your questions I have recently joined the young liberals and I’ve already talked to one of my other friends (also a young liberal) doing law at QUT about starting a group..so we’ll see how all that goes. It really depends on lots of factors ie. how demanding we find the course, whether people at QUT would want to join such a club etc. And Keira I understand your disapointment. I would have loved to vote. Too bad it wouldn’t have made much of a difference to the outcome!
The liberty and democracy party is niether labour nor liberal. It is a small party though and thus only gets a couple of people in. It is a party that focuses on individual responsibility such as riding a bike without a helmet being legal, but harsh penalties for assault. The party follows a philosophical position that one should be free to do anything that does not harm or infringe on the rights of others.
Riding in a car without a seatbelt would be one example of not infringing on another’s rights. Of course all cars must have a seat belt so you have a choice but you don’t need to wear it legally by any means.
There was a group on Monday pro-labor; not sure about the rest of them. But when you break it down there really are no distinct differences between the two major parties. If you ask me I’m all for Australia becoming a Republic. Although the G-G would be out of work, the British monarch as a figurehead aspect really doesn’t concern us commoners very much, does it?
Becomming a republic though won’t change the policies of the major governments.
