Talk:University of Sydney Students' Representative Council

message: Wasn't Adair Students First (a liberal who left the group a week or two prior to the election), not Labor Right? Should the reason he was removed (was it that his election campaign exceeded the spending limit?) be mentioned? Or maybe it'd be getting a bit non-notable. Andjam 06:38, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

message: It is POV to say that the SRC is "more interested" in broad campaigns than representation of students. Please stop editing it to say that. You should also have the spine to sign in and stop editing anonymously. Braue 15:42, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't think Joe Hockey was elected SRC President as Centre Unity. From memory, he was an "independent" with strong support from the Young Liberals.
I'd be interested in anyone else's recollections before I change the article - in case my memory is playing me false.  Jeendan 03:14, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

message: While appeals are in progress, I do not believe it's appropriate to really discuss these issues in Wikipedia.Phanatical 00:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not? I don't believe that when it comes to what is "appropriate" or not, an encyclopedia shouldn't be bound by that. If you think it's inaccurate, sure go ahead. But Wikipedia doesn't need to keep quiet about something because it's a legal dispute. Ben Raue (Talk) 06:49, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think the fact that it is a current legal dispute has no bearing on whether we discuss it on Wikipedia. What I am more interested in, is the question of whether the 2006 election dispute is noteworthy enough to be in a Wikipedia article. I'm not sure about how frequently election disputes of this nature occur with the SRC, but I'm sure that readers do not want the minutiae of every year's election unless it's important. enochlau (talk) 13:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

This is an entirely inaccurate, and contradictory, description of the political make up of the people currently in the SRC. 
There is no 'Organised Independent' faction in Australian student politics (why imply it to be the group active in the UK? Source?) rather there are pro-independent factions such as the 'West Coast Independents', 'East Coast Independents', 'Grassroots Left' etc. and while the dominant 'Voice' ticket in the University of Sydney SRC election resembles the 'East Coast Independents' there has been no demonstrable link between them and that group (unless you can provide a source?). On the other hand, the 'Grassroots' ticket is clearly connected to the 'Grassroots Left'.
Inclusion of Greens members, who openly ran under 'Grassroots' according to both Honi Soit and their electoral material, in this same British faction as Liberal and Labor members is inaccurate given they ran on different tickets.
Comments on coherence of NUS policy are POV and rely on unqualified assumptions on the various groups, who each ran separately, being united as members of a faction in the United Kingdom (which according to the page you linked, has policy on their NUS anyway).
I would also note that NLS are not actually affiliated to the Labor Left, though most of its members have strong ties, so it is also inaccurate to directly link the two.
Accordingly, I've cleaned the section up.
