 Voluntary student unionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Supporters of VSU complain that leadership of student organisations tend to be particularly drawn from the Left, which they argue is reflective of an aggressive leftist culture in universities, but which is not representative of the whole student body.
Since historically Australia's student organisations have been dominated by left-wing student groups and/or groups affiliated with the Australian Labor Party, the introduction of VSU is likely to politically disadvantage these groups by removing the advantages of incumbency.
Student unions have fought ferociously against rises in fees (deferred for most students), arguing that they prevent people from attending university; however, their own union dues are payable immediately and are (except in extreme cases) not subject to deferment and are not income-dependent, as most government fees are.

Students are in a relatively powerless position, and are intimately involved in the relations of capitalism, race and gender.

 andrewquah || the quah report
But the fact is that Voluntary Student Unionism is a move many students will take advantage of - and from next year, these organisations will most likely be considerably crippled because our student organisations do not, and have not for many years, the support of the thousands of students continuing to subsidise their activities.
And if the students affected are so upset about losing SRC support, they would be more than welcome to invite organisations such as the Democratic Socialist Party or the NSW Greens to subsidise their work.
If our student organisations looked into these sorts of solutions, we would be able to ease the squeeze on the student coffers, and perhaps even completely alleviate the cost over a few years.
