We attended the May Day rally on Monday where it was amazing to see many thousands of proud unionists marching through the streets in recognition of their historical and future struggles. It was great to hear an emphasis on the politics of a just transition and climate change from a number of speakers.

Jasmine attended a Senate meeting in lieu of Lia, where they heard concerns from student reps from USU, SUSF, SUPRA and the SRC. We emphasised the impact the cost of living crisis is having upon student life at uni, and vision to expand FoodHub with the USU to reach more students. Teebs not sure how much Belinda Hutchinson and Mark Scott cared given their gratuitous personal spending of university money, but Jasmine really appreciated them inviting us in 40 minutes past the expected start time of the meeting.

Get excited about RadEd Week and good luck with exams!
