We will not be rehashing the ideological debates of previous Senate Inquiries as we believe the practical evidence shows the debate has moved on. We will attempt to explain why the idea of creating self-funded voluntary student organisations through the Higher Education (Abolition of Compulsory Up Front Student Union Fees) Act 2005 has failed.

The National Union of Students (NUS) is the peak representative body for undergraduate students in Australia. 2. NUS works to protect the rights of students across Australia, organises national campaigns on issues affecting students in a range of different areas, and makes sure that the student voice is heard by government, the media, and the public. 3. While in name and ethos the NUS can be seen as a union, the nature of those it represents necessitates that one of the major areas of union power – the ability to strike – is unavailable, in a practical sense if not theoretically. 4. As such it is necessary for the NUS to reconcile its union ethos and morality with the practical application of its work, and recognise that as an organisation its strength lies is the numbers, vibrancy and volume of voice held by students, and the utilisation of these factors in lobbying.
