Vote [1] Social Justice for RUSU in the student union elections next week.

Voting is open via a link in your student email.

Authorised by the Returning Officer & Ella Marchionda s3721915.

VOTING IS OPEN NOW! VOTE [1] SOCIAL JUSTICE!

Social Justice will fight to stop RMIT ripping off students – education should be free, not run for profit!

- Undergraduate students who started in 2021 are paying up to $3000/year more
- International students pay up to three times more for a degree, sometimes up to $69,000
- Meanwhile Australia’s billionaires have more than doubled their wealth since the start of the pandemic, to over $255 billion at the start of this year!

Fee hikes and funding cuts are robbing students blind while our education gets worse and worse. All the while the wealth Australia’s richest have made over just the last year could have made education free for domestic and international students for over a decade! If we want to make our education a priority, we have to fight for it.

Vote [1] Social Justice for a union that fights to tax the rich and make education free!

Students shouldn’t live in poverty – Social Justice will fight to raise welfare to $1500/fortnight!

Students have been doing it tough trying to keep up with the rising cost of living. Prices are soaring due to inflation but welfare payments have stayed below the poverty line. This hits students disproportionately since they are concentrated in casualised work along with their studies and struggle to pay for the basic necessities such as rent and groceries.

We need a student union that fights for a dignified life for all students and that means mass increases to welfare! RUSU should work with the National Union of Students to fight to raise welfare permanently to $1500/fortnight for all.

Vote [1] Social Justice for a union that fights to give all students a livable income!

Vote [1] Social Justice for an activist RUSU!

Social Justice for RUSU is a group of left-wing students who want change in our student union.

Students are angry. The climate is being destroyed. University fees are going up. Classes are overcrowded. Our tutors are stretched and underpaid.

Sexism, racism & homophobia are rife in society. Social Justice wants a student union that will stand up for students.

RUSU has a budget of $4 million. It has the capacity to run campaigns for climate justice, LGBTQI+ rights, and better education.

We need free education now. RMIT’s executives earn over $500,000. Our vice chancellor earns over a million. Their salaries should be cut and put into staff and student services. Our education should not be sacrificed for profits.

Our candidates are all activists who have organised a number of campaigns, such as:
• to free the Park Hotel refugees
• for a free Palestine
• against the massive increases to our university fees
• for LGBTQI+ rights, against the religious discrimination bill
• the recent 15,000-strong protests in defence of abortion rights
• campus protests against RMIT’s ties to weapons manufacturing
companies who profit from genocide
• climate justice campaigns through RMIT Students for Climate Justice

Vote for Social Justice if you want RUSU to fight for students.

Who is Social Justice?

We are the left-wing activists running in the RMIT student union (RUSU) elections. We’re standing because we think students’ lives are getting worse and the union needs to do something about it.

The climate is being destroyed. University fees are going up, while classes are growing more crowded and our tutors are more stretched. Sexism, racism and homophobia are rife in society. Social Justice wants a student union that will take a stand against this.

RUSU has a budget of $4 million. It could be running serious campaigns for a better education, for student welfare, LGBTQI+ rights and climate justice. Our candidates are all activists who have organised a number of campaigns, such as:
- to free the Park Hotel refugees
- for a free Palestine
- against the massive increases to our university fees
- for LGBTQI+ rights, against the religious discrimination bill
- the recent 15,000-strong protests in defence of abortion rights
- to cut RMIT’s ties to weapons manufacturing companies who profit from genocide
to end coal, oil and gas, through RMIT Students for Climate Justice

Vote [1] Social Justice if you want RUSU to fight for students.

Scott Morrison’s emissions reduction plan is a disgrace. The net zero plan he announced last week doesn’t restrict the activities of any fossil fuel companies, and it relies on technology that doesn’t yet exist to help achieve emissions targets.

More than that, the ‘net-zero’ part of the plan is based on carbon capture from forest re-growth but his modelling relies on gross manipulation of the estimates of how much carbon dioxide trees can absorb.

ScoMo’s plan is based around one thing - keeping the profits of the fossil fuel companies rolling in.

We need to send a message that politicians kicking the can down the road on the climate crisis is not good enough. Join RMIT Students for Climate Justice at the COP26 Global Day of Action - Melbourne tomorrow, 1pm @ the State Library to demand real action on the climate now.
