Welcome back to the Glass coverage of the Guild Student Representative Council (SRC) Meetings of 2023. This is our coverage of the May Council meeting held 5:30pm, Wednesday 24th May 2023 at B202a, Kelvin Grove Campus.
We will be bringing students coverage of these meetings throughout the year, so you have insight into all the goings-on in your Student Representative Council (SRC). These meetings include the motions that Guild Executives and other students put forward for the SRC to vote on, and which will directly impact your university experience.
All current students can attend SRC meetings. If you want to see change on campus, we encourage you to put forward a motion to the SRC.

DISABILITY COLLECTIVE REPORT
Delivered by Michael Pendergast, Convenor of the Disability Collective (DC).
The DC now has 55 members, which is a greater than expected number of members for this stage in semester due to successful participation in QUT Community Day. Pendergast noted the importance of visibility of the Collective on campus.
The Collective raised $13.40 for Sporting Wheelies at Community Day. Pendergast said only being able to accept cash donations was a limitation on the day.
Pendergast said there had been no changes to the DC Executive Committee. He mentioned that at the last meeting there was an amendment to the DC’s terms of reference, which they asked to be approved by Council later in the meeting.
The Disability Collective has not held any events since the April SRC meeting. They are planning “many in the future”, including a collaboration with the Queer Collective for Pride Month.
QUEER COLLECTIVE REPORT
Delivered by Julian Trueman, Convenor of the Queer Collective (QC).
Trueman said the QC had seen a small bump in membership, which is now sitting at 198 registered members. He noted that like the Disability Collective, QUT Community Day had led to an increase in membership. The QC is now requiring any person participating in their Discord server to register as a QC member, which has also contributed to the membership increase.
A QC meeting was held on 16 May 2023 with 12 members attending. A main topic of discussion at the meeting were improvements to the Gardens Point QC room.
The QC held multiple events since the April SRC meeting, including a board games night, participation in QUT Community Day which raised $105 for Open Doors Youth Service, and a Sapphic Craft Night. Future events in the works include an event for queer men, a coffee catch-up, a book club meeting, and an upcoming collaboration with QUT Gelball.
WOMEN’S COLLECTIVE REPORT
Not delivered.
MOTION: AMENDMENTS TO DISABILITY COLLECTIVE TERMS OF REFERENCE
At their last meeting, the DC made changes to their terms of reference that they asked to be ratified by the SRC. This was brought by DC Convenor, Michael Pendergast.
Pendergast asked for the amendments to be moved en bloc, meaning all amendments would be considered and voted on together by the SRC for time efficiency. Madison Shepherd (Clubs & Societies Officer, Grow) moved the motion; it was seconded by Aamna Asif (President, Grow).
Pendergast explained that the DC felt the existing Terms of Reference was not made with disabled students in mind and does not suit their needs or unique membership base. He asked that the SRC respected the DC’s decision to amend their Terms of Reference. You can read the DC’s full document describing the changes and reasoning here. Notably, the additions to the DC’s Terms of Reference made broader provisions about expectations for member conduct including the following:
President Aamna Asif asked that the proposed provision 8.12 be amended to ensure if a complaint is received within the Collective, the Guild Executive is “in the loop”. There was some discussion about how the Terms of Reference would be amended to include this, with the consensus being that the amendments would all pass with the exception of 8.12, which would need to be considered at the next DC meeting to include Asif’s suggestion.
Asif moved a motion to vote in this manner, which was seconded by Usama Shafiq (Treasurer, Grow) and passed unanimously. There was a second motion to accept the amendments excluding 8.12 moved by Pendergast and seconded by Harley Manley (Disability Officer, Grow), which also passed unanimously.
THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
MOTION: STUDENT UNIONISM MUST BE ACCESSIBLE
This motion was also brought by DC Convenor, Michael Pendergast.
Pendergast spoke for the motion and argued that alternative text must be used on images on QUT Guild, SRC, and Guild affiliated groups’ social media pages. Pendergast said the current lack of alternative text limits participation in student unionism. You can read the full motion preamble and action points here. The action points include mandatory alt-text for Guild socials and training for Guild staff about alt-text.
Disability Officer Harley Manley (Grow) seconded the motion.
Asif asked if things like the advertisements of casual vacancies would need to have their text copy and pasted into alt-text. Pendergast said yes, but linking to a Word document with the information would also be good.
THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
MOTION: THE QUT GUILD SHOULD STAND AGAINST THE RACIST VIGILANTISM IN QUEENSLAND.
All motions raised by SAlt at this meeting can be read in full here.
This motion was moved by Georgie Dobbs (SAlt), seconded by Erin Milne (SAlt).
Dobbs and Milne both spoke for the motion. “In Queensland there’s been an uptick in racist vigilante violence against young Aboriginal people, as part of a right-wing moral panic surrounding youth crime…. These acts of vigilantism come in the context of an ongoing law and order agenda, with a focus on youth crime, being pushed by the Queensland Labor government.”
The motion included the following:
- The QUT Guild stands against the racist violence committed by right-wing vigilantes.
- The QUT Guild rejects the racist police who target and lock up Indigenous children. The police should have less powers, not more.
- The QUT Guild condemns Queensland Labor’s tough on crime agenda, which is disproportionately impacting and locking up Aboriginal children.
“It’s really important that the Guild takes a position on things like this,” said Milne.
The motion’s title referred to “FNQ” vigilantism, but was ostensibly concerned with vigilantism across the Queensland, with Dobbs and Milne referring at one point to violence occurring in Rockhampton.
A point on information raised by Ethan Johnstone (QC & DC), who said that Rockhampton was not Far North Queensland, which was met with laughter from some SRC members.
No student spoke against the motion.
This is how SRC members voted:
For: Harley Manley, John Longwill, Gaurav Vithlalani, Sia Hills, Emme Muggleton, Veronika Palk, Isabella Foley, Declan Kerr.
Against: Madison Shepherd and Aamna Asif.
Abstaining: Zara Vaz, Aaron Bui, Eli Spencer, Usama Shafiq.
THE MOTION PASSED.
MOTION: THE QUT GUILD SAYS NO TO THE ISAAC RIVER MINE
All motions raised by SAlt at this meeting can be read in full here.
This motion was moved by Veronica Palk (Science Councillor, SAlt), seconded by Georgie Dobbs (SAlt).
“The ALP has just approved their first new coal mine since being elected…Alongside Labor’s inadequate climate targets, greenwashing ‘safeguard mechanism’ bill, and talk about a ‘gas-based recovery’, the Bowen Coking coal mine shows Labor is not a better friend of the environment than the LNP. The QUT Guild should oppose all new gas and coal projects and support a genuine green transition. Students will have to fight Labor and Australian businesses to stop environmental destruction.”
“We should stand up and hold Labor accountable,” said Palk.
The action points of the motion included the following:
- The QUT Guild opposes Labor’s approval of the Isaac River Mine
- The QUT Guild calls for a ban on new gas and coal projects
After speaking for the motion, Foley called for other SRC members to second or speak for the motion.
Asif said it was hard to speak to the motion because people hadn’t been given time to research.
Longwill seconded the motion and spoke for it. He has been doing university study on Australia’s environment legal landscape. “When you look across the vast history of the ozone layer, that’s when we started really looking at how we started treating our planet.”
“We imposed new laws and regulations. We sign up to all these international agreements, but we take little action on shore. I absolutely agree with this motion, and I think it’s something we should all vote for.”
No student spoke against the motion.
This is how SRC members voted:
For: Eli Spencer, Harley Manley, John Longwill, Gaurav Vithlalani, Aaron Bui, Veronica Palk, Isabella Foley, Sia Hills, Declan Kerr, Zara Vaz
Against: Usama Shafiq
Abstain: Aamna Asif, Moin Rahman, Emme Muggleton, Madison Shepherd
THE MOTION PASSED.
MOTION: THE QUT GUILD CONDEMNS LABOR’S BUDGET FOR THE RICH
Isabella Foley (Environment Officer, SALt) moved the motion, which was seconded by Declan Kerr (Science Councillor, SAlt).
“This is budget for the rich and military, not for workers and students.”
“Labor’s contributions to the rich and the military dwarf their cost-of-living relief. The government is spending an extra $368bn on the AUKUS deal, the hot ticket item of which is 8 nuclear submarines, maintained $254bn in stage three tax cuts for the rich, and will continue to pump $57bn in subsidies for the fossil fuel industry. On top of this, Labor are boasting of a project $4bn surplus.”
Foley spoke for the motion with the characteristic passion students have come to expect from SALt SRC members this year. “There is no substantial increase to JobSeeker, to welfare. I think a $2 increase a day to welfare is actually a slap in the fucking face to people who are increasingly being driven into student poverty,” said Foley when speaking for the motion.
Michael Pendergast (Convenor, Disability Collective) raised a point of order in regard to Foley’s use of the word “fucking”. The Chair asked Foley to withdraw her language.
“I think this is a little…distracting…we’re all adults,” said Foley.
“Could you please retract it?” said the Chair.
“That’s ridiculous.”
“Just retract it please.”
The Chair did not explicitly say he was naming Foley, but seemed to imply he had done so during the back-and-forth discussion. Foley eventually retracted her language, but said she was “deeply disappointed” in being asked to do so.
Declan Kerr also spoke for the motion. Kerr referred to the cost-of-living crisis and the increasing rate of homelessness in Brisbane (up 20%) and nationally (up 5%) over the past five years. “In this context, the government is handing out $368 billion to fucking military contractors.”
Another point of order was raised, and Declan immediately retracted their language “in protest” and continued speaking for the motion. “We should stand against this as a student union.”
No student spoke against the motion.
Kerr and Foley fielded a question about the GINI index being “stable” at the moment, and argued that it is indisputable that we are living in a cost-of-living crisis.
Longwill spoke: “This week we served 177 people in our Foodbank, and I think that really shows the state of what’s going on at the moment. That’s an absolutely astronomical number compared to any week last year.”
Foley commented. “It’s ridiculous that student unionists are having to pick up the slack from the Labor party. This motion is about saying that we are disappointed, and that we condemn the Labor budget.”
This is how SRC members voted:
FOR: John Longwill, Harley Manley, Eli, Gaurav Vithlalani, Zara Vaz, Aaron Bui, Veronica Palk, Isabella Foley, Declan Kerr
Against: Aamna Asif, Usama Shafiq, Emme Muggleton, Madison Shepherd, Moin Rahman
Abstain: Sia Hills
“It’s shameful that you guys hide behind a vote instead of saying anything,” said Foley while the Chair was counting votes.
“Can you please stop talking?” said the Chair.
“Yes,” said Foley.
THE MOTION PASSED.
MOTION: THE QUT GUILD SHOULD ENDORSE THE ANTI-AUKUS PROTESTS
The motion was moved by Georgie Dobbs (SAlt) and seconded by Isabella Foley (Environment Officer, SAlt).
“The QUT Guild endorses the protest called by the Anti-AUKUS alliance outside the Labor national conference on Friday 18 August. The AUKUS alliance is designed to maintain US dominion of the Indo-Pacific regions. The ALP’s increased military spending, and $368 billion nuclear submarine deal, is not a defensive measure, but an aggressive action that is representative of a larger drive to war from Australia.”
“I think that this student union should have a presence [at the protest] and be actively involved in the anti-AUKUS campaign,” said Dobbs.
“Students and workers will bear the brunt of the destruction [encouraged] by AUKUS….We should be against a war with China. We should build an anti-war movement.”
In seconding and speaking for the motion, Foley reiterated the importance of the issue to students and that the theme for the NUS Education conference this year – “Welfare Not Warfare”. Look out for Glass coverage of the NUS Education Conference soon!
“[These movements start] in student unions because student unions are fighting bodies,” said Foley.
Foley made comment on SRC members voting against motions but not speaking against motions during the meeting. “It is shameful that people are hiding behind their votes instead of speaking out on such an important issue. To take up something that Aamna (Asif, President, GROW) said earlier – I don’t think it’s enough of an excuse not to speak on a motion because you don’t know anything about it. You just voted down a motion about Indigenous rights, about fighting Indigenous oppression. So clearly there are positions in this union. People shouldn’t hide behind the votes that they give. Even if that vote is an abstention. People should pick a side and make a point. You’re elected to do things like this.”
Aaron Bui (Postgrad Officer) asked a question. “If you’re anti-AUKUS, what’s your position on basically presenting Taiwan on a silver platter to China?”
Isabella responded that she thinks that AUKUS is not a defensive measure but an aggressive measure, and something that left-wing unions should not support.
Bui then spoke against the motion. “No one wants war. But Isabella, you also said – this is going to shape our future. And I agree with that. If we let China take over Taiwan, that is the start of democracies in this world leaving others to fend for themselves. It will mean that no democracy in this world is ready to step up for another democracy. This will be the start of the end for democracy. I don’t know what your stance is on that, but I know democracy is not perfect…but we don’t have a better solution yet. To me, democracy is the best thing we have, in this day and age.”
Kerr replied to Bui. “We should dispel the idea that this is about democracy. I mean really, come on. These submarines are designed to stealthily hide underneath the ocean. Nuclear submarines are aggressive weapons, that’s what they are designed for. This is about defending imperialist power, this is not about democracy.”
Veronica Palk spoke for the motion. “The US and Australia has never actually gone through with war on the basis of trying to protect democracy….Everyone knows that the US has done everything in its powers to prop up dictatorships, to fund its self interests, to throw itself in the fucking Middle East…”
Palk then said they withdrew their language “in protest” after a reaction from the Chair.
“No, not in protest,” said the Chair.
“Yes, I withdraw the comment,” Palk said.
Palk continued to speak, before being interrupted again by the Chair asking them to move to the front of the room so that people in the Zoom link could see them while they were speaking.
Palk complied and Foley said, “We’ll do the song and dance.”
“I mean, it’s accessibility,” Pendergast (Convenor, Disability Collective) replied.
Palk continued to speak on the themes of democracy, war, and regional dominance. “It is not going to be democracy that is the reasoning for doing this, it is actually their entire system and their dominance in the area. Which, by the way, if anyone wants to talk about democracy, who are actually going to be Australia’s partners in this? India – a more and more authoritarian regime that is heavily oppressing Muslims and actually fucking supports pogroms against Muslims…yes, I withdraw it [referring to their language after another interruption by the Chair].”
Palk then used another “fucking”, and immediately withdrew it without being prompted. The Chair said, “Ok that was the second time. Third time, [you’re] out.”
Foley argued that if Palk had already retracted it, it didn’t matter. This seemed to anger the Chair. “No, because that goes against the spirit of what the Constitution is there for.”
By this point, Asif had left the room and therefore automatically abstained. Shepherd stated that she was abstaining before leaving the room.
This is how SRC members voted:
FOR: Harley Manley, Moin Rahman, Eli Spencer, Veronica Palk, Isabella Foley, John Longwill, Declan Kerr
AGAINST: nil
ABSTAIN: Emme Muggleton, Sia Hills, Usama Shafiq, Zara Vaz, Madison Shepherd, Gaurav Vithlalani, Aamna Asif, Aaron Bui
THE MOTION PASSED.
MOTION: THE GUILD ADVOCATES FOR QUT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ODIN PASS FOR DISCOUNTED TRAVEL FOR STUDENTS.
This motion was made by SRC member Gaurav Vithalani (Engineering Councillor), who made a presentation to the SRC. The Chair confirmed that Vithalani was asking the SRC to advocate for the Uni to implement the Odin Pass. The SRC would be campaigning for this on socials and raising it with the University.
Vithalani explained that the Odin Pass is a program students can use to access discounted public transport (if they travel regularly). It would be available to both students and staff members for SEQ public transport. A seven-day pass is $17, and a 30-day pass is $63, which would give students who sign up to the plans unlimited public transport access. It would be a no-lock in, subscription model.
The Odin Pass is currently only available to UQ students. To make it available to QUT students, the University would need to agree to implement the program at a cost of approximately $1 million.
Michael Pendergast raised a point of order, saying that people talking out of turn in the meeting is against R6.7. The Chair asked those talking to cease doing so.
Longwill asked about the Odin company itself. “I’ve seen that it’s a hybrid company slash research project. So is there any potential that once the research project ends, the company subsists?”
Vithalani replied that he wasn’t sure about the timeline of the research project, but confirmed that it would be running until at least July next year. Bui added that the project was running in some connection with the Department of Transport.
Kerr spoke against the motion. “One thing I don’t like about this is that this could potentially be the QUT Guild’s only policy on public transport all year, and it’s to basically endorse a commercial entity that provides a subscription model that bridges private and public transport…I think the position of student unionists in general should be to argue for free public transport. I don’t think that’s something we’re on the verge of winning right now, but I think we should still make it the position of the student union to fight for it.”
Harley Manley said he had a point of information. “This is a step in the right direction, it doesn’t fix the problem overall but it’s better than there being no solution. This is a workable solution for now, and in the long run it would be good for the university to push towards free public transport but I think that’s a bigger kettle of fish.”
“I think that’s more of a statement than a question,” said the Chair.
“Well, point of information,” said Manley. The Chair laughed.
Eli Spencer raised concerns about the program being a research initiative, and about financially vulnerable students. “I also agree that we should be fighting for free public transport.”
Vithalani said that he agreed that public transport should be free, but that this was “a very idealistic scenario and [the Odin Pass] is a much more realistic solution that we can implement next semester, in July.”
This is how SRC members voted:
FOR: Usama Shafiq, Harley Manley, Zara Vaz, Aaron Bui, Moin Rahman, Emme Muggleton, Gaurav Vithalani
AGAINST: Eli Spencer
ABSTAIN: Declan Kerr, John Longwill, Veronica Palk, Isabella Foley, Aamna Asif, Madison Shepherd
THE MOTION PASSED.
MOTION: THE GUILD ENDORSES THE VOICE TO PARLIAMENT.
President Aamna Asif (Grow) moved the motion, and Treasurer Usama Shafiq (Grow) seconded the motion.
Asif started by asking if there were any First Nations students in the room – the Chair responded that he was Indigenous.
Asif then spoke for the motion:
“I believe that it’s time that we recognise the valued perspectives of our First Nations people by providing them a Voice in Parliament and decision-making processes. I think that the government will finally take a significant step towards reconciliation, honouring their rightful place and shaping our future.
“I think that for far too long, [Indigenous] Australians have faced systematic inequalities and marginalisation, and by providing an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, we finally – it’s not even about special treatment, it’s nothing to do with that – we finally ensure that they are included in changes, that things are being collaborated on and consulted on and that all policies and discussions are being consented on.
“I believe that establishing an Indigenous Voice to Parliament is not just about justice, it’s about healing wounds and building a more inclusive and prosperous future. So I think it’s time that we embrace this opportunity to empower Indigenous Australians and create a nation where everyone’s voice truly matters.”
Isabella Foley (Environment Officer, SAlt) also spoke for the motion:
“I think that people should stridently come out and oppose the “No” campaign that’s going on in Australian society right now, headed by people like Peter Dutton, Jacinta Price. I think the “No” campaign holds some of the most disgusting views I’ve ever heard about Aboriginal people and their oppression in modern-day times. I think that it’s important to give critical support of the Voice to Parliament. I say critical because I think we actually need to continue fighting for Aboriginal rights outside of the Voice…It’s just as important that people come to Invasion Day every year, which sections of the Labor party called tokenistic previously, which is very shameful….But I think we should totally give support to endorsing this.”
Glass Editor-in-Chief, Ciaran Greig, asked a question of anyone who had moved, spoken, or seconded the motion. “What do you envision the Guild’s endorsement of the “Yes” campaign looking like? Are you thinking a social media campaign? Are you thinking of some other kind of support? What do you think materially that support will look like? What are you willing to commit to with this vote?”
Aaron Bui responded that taking the campaign against the “No” vote to social media would be appropriate. “It’s not just about endorsing the “Yes” vote, but it’s also really taking a stance against the “No”.”
He also added that because the Guild does not have a current First Nations Officer, the union should liaise with the Oodgeroo Unit while planning how to support the “Yes” campaign.
Asif agreed about raising awareness via social media and educating students if students need more information about the Voice.
“Would you hold information sessions for students about what the [Voice] is and why they should vote yes or would it mostly be socials?” Asif indicated that this had not been planned, but was willing to bring the idea to the SRC. She also said that she wanted to see the Guild publish an official statement on the issue. “My approach at the moment is to just get on the ground and talk to students,” she added.
Declan Kerr (Science Councillor, SAlt), also spoke for the motion, noting the “racism” of the “No” campaign.
No student spoke against the motion.
The vote for the motion was unanimous, following a strange moment where everyone but Clubs & Societies Officer Madison Shepherd had voted.
“I’m thinking,” she said. “Okay, sure.”
THE MOTION PASSED.

WANT TO GIVE HALF YOUR INCOME TO GLASS?
In an extraordinary development, Secretary candidate Alexander Harper, a third year Law student, former QUT Cricket Club Treasurer, former QUT Pokemon Club Secretary (and avid Glass reader apparently!) made a statement of support for Glass Magazine.
“I want to contribute to the betterment of the university and our students,” Harper said at the start of his speech.
“We’ve already listened to a bunch of stuff that has little to no relevance to our lives as QUT students, so I’ll keep this concise. The only reason I, or anyone for that matter, knows what’s going on at these meetings is because of the top-notch work by the team at Glass Media.
“A few short months ago, the QUT Guild ignored 40-something pages of evidence from current and former staff members and students outlining why cutting the Glass budget was a bad idea. Well, there’s a relatively simple solution that will help to fix this dilemma. If elected Secretary, I will contribute half of my income I receive towards the refunding and support which was gutted from Glass. I would encourage all other elected members here tonight to join me in this endeavour.”
After comment from Glass that we were unaware that Harper was a fan but welcomed the support, Harper reiterated his support. “I say that sincerely. The reporting from Glass this year has absolutely been phenomenal. In my time at QUT, I haven’t seen anywhere near the amount of dedicated coverage [about] what the Guild is doing. And I meant it when I said it – I wouldn’t have the slightest idea of what’s going on in the Guild were it not for your coverage. I honestly think you’re legends.”
Harper also said that he wanted to champion change for the 0% policy, and had ideas about how to make SRC meetings run quicker.
Harper was only asked one question by an SRC member following his candidate statement, unlike other candidates who were grilled about their work history, skills and expertise. He received no votes for Secretary. “Do you think he knows you can’t vote?” one SRC member asked the Glass Editors in an intermission.
The Editors of Glass are not personally familiar with Harper and were not aware that he was planning to make these statements as part of his bid for Secretary. Nonetheless, we welcome positive feedback and ardent support for student media.
PLEASE SEND YOUR MOTIONS EARLY
The Chair asked if any student submitting a motion could send them early if possible.
Members from the Disability and Queer Collective raised that they felt that there wasn’t enough notice for Council meetings to prepare properly in advance. Asif responded that from now on, Council meetings will be held on the fourth Wednesday of each month.
A reminder: any student can move a motion at Council! Will we see you next time?
MEETING CLOSED
The meeting was closed at 8:48pm.
