Adelaide Student Politics

Posted: 3rd of January

According to official notice, given by David Barrow, 2009 NUS President (NLS) and David Wilkins, 2009 General Secretary (Unity), NUS is to hold a special general meeting (SGM) of all national conference delegates, in order to elect the new executive for 2010. This meeting will be held on the 30th and 31st of January.

The previous conference cost every delegate (well, usually, their union) $725 (plus GST). This is on top of affiliation fees. Details of how much each delegate would cost their union for this SGM have not been publically released yet. I presume in order to limit cost, NUS has scheduled it immediately following its yearly Presidents Summit (27th to 29th), with both it and the SGM being held at the University of Sydney. Many NUS delegates would also have been attending Presidents Summit, and so may remain in Sydney for the NUS SGM.
