NZBU

Clint Heine has set a New Zealand Bloggers Union, and appointed himself President.

Both Pamziewamzie and I requested to be on the executive and were denied, as Heine decided who got what positions, notably all male and all right wingers.

I think that as we are compulsory members, and this seems to be Clint's attempt to promote voluntary student membership to student associations, that the fact we put ourselves forward and were prepared to try and change things we don't like about the union is what all the righties who constantly whinge about compulsory student membership should do - engage with your local student association and actually run!!!

Whilst I acknowledge I am not happy that there is not a female nor left(ish) blogger, I understand that membership is compulsory and I have attempted to have my input onto the executive, my time will now have to be spent head butting the executive from outside, because not everyone agrees with the unions they belong to.

At least our student associations are democratic and allows for motions of no confidence in the President and other memebers, unlike this union which is being run by a dictator who decides on EVERYTHING!
