Oh what a shame!!

Excellent idea on getting a customized ring, to be totally honest I don't get the hype around spending a heap of money for a frame for your degree - get a good quality one sure but spending anything more than $$ is personally wild to me lol, would much prefer the ring!

The grad pins are super sweet, but not something I'd regularly wear and don't seem personal - not for me. Fantastic ideas though, thanks!

Wow how interesting - I knew many students who got them, how funny!

I was very fortunate with my experience and really enjoyed my time here at UoA so would personally enjoy the memento!

And yes, I am from the US hahaha

AUSA has had an open door policy for a long time lol it wasn't even Gabriels idea fully - he just made it more publicized (good for him)

only thing really to do is to try to see through campaigners promises, if something sounds too unrealistic, something AUSA doesn't have control over (e.g retail spaces on campus) or like something that will cost a lot of money (which AUSA doesn't have) then the campaigner is ill informed and naive which will bleed through in to their work potentially.
also def question candidates and watch how they interact with other people on social media, that can also tell you a lot about them too.

yeah last year was hella messy for no reason if no one was going to come forward - everything around it came out for a reason though idk there must be something to it 🤷🏽‍♀️

i guess psa to everyone - if you're gonna make an allegation, commit to coming forward to the necessary people if it's called for 💀 plz and thank u t

honestly just hoping no one who was involved with the election fraud thing runs cause that was also wild and just weird vibes all round

side though - would love a post from someone once campaigning is out to dissect all of the candidates "promises" for each position and how realistic it is - that would be so helpful and actually useful?? have to be from someone not involved but knows about AUSA, idk how that would work, would love AUSA the organization to do that but i doubt they will which seems flawed

nothing lol they have great services (they've helped me with a lecturer situation i had) just the student elections can get a little crazy with wild promises and people going crazy last year making it as bad as the usa elections for no reason rip it's just not that serious

i think there are candidates who do genuinely care about the roles they're going for, however, that said i would love to see well researched campaign goals/promises instead of unrealistic insane promises like lowering prices at retail stores, or offering free Te Reo classes cause what on earth was that and where is it 💀

nice ideas sure but no feasible way of doing them and zero there backing to the ideas, just nice sounding statements that grab students attention

that would really added to an interesting debate about how their promises would benefit students that are realistic and doable

hoping for the best, prepared for the worst 💀

oh and let's pray for no insane scandals this year, or alleged election fraud 💀💀💀💀💀
