VSU Passed Amidst Voting Drama

December 10, 2005

Man of man, I just love Australia’s politics :)

The VSU bill was finally passed today in the Senate despite rebel Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce crossing the floor and voting against it. Family First Party’s Steven Fielding saved the day, however, by voting with the government to pass the bill.

And what all this means to me is that I won’t have to pay $200-300/semester anymore beginning from the middle of next year.

  2. Lol, hey man! I didn’t say I support it. Just said it finally happened yesterday. I’m actually still torn on this. On one hand, I like Labor, but on the other, I do get to save $200/sem :)

    But yeah, in principle, I am oppose to it. Happy? ;)
