National Union of Students

And so I was president of the SRC and Bob Hawke introduced university fees and You know, I led a campaign against that only to try and double them when I was Treasurer.

And then at the end of it, there was no National Union of Students and I had quite a national profile.

And then, you know, got a phone call from Lionel Bowen, the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, and he said, son, with your name and with what you've done, you've got a big future in the Labor Party.

Yeah.

All right, so we have Ghazal here, who is a student at the University of Southern Queensland, an undergraduate student doing nursing, if I'm correct.

We have Niamh here from the National Union of Students, which is always a fun time.

Also our 2026 president of the Student Association at UTS.

Right here, homegrown, we have Taryn Jones, who is the Pro Vice Chancellor of Education at Macquarie University.
