Talk:National Liaison Committee for International Students in Australia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

this article reads far too much like the promotional material/website for an organisation, it needs work to be made more encyclopedic, sentences like this one:

With such fast growth in the industry, the NLC is continually facing challenges by educational institutions and government departments on keeping students rights first and foremost before the tempting profit margin

simply won't fly in an encyclopedia article. clarkk 03:17, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

I agree, even with the current introduction to the article which says that it is speculated that NLC is one of its kind is ridiculous without any facts/references. Da amazerxl 09:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NLC faction or department question

Just out of curiousity - which relates somewhat to the neutrality/content of the article, can an international student who is a member of a faction other than the NLC realistically expect to be able to hold a leadership position within the NLC (as a department of NUS)?

No. In terms of NUS operations, the NLC is for all intents and purposes a faction of its own. But then again, I can't really think of an international student being involved with a faction other than the NLC, for two main reasons:

• The factions are primarily focused around Australian domestic political issues, which will be of limited relevance to international students; and
• International student visa conditions expressly prohibit their being involved in political activism (something the NLC itself is not particularly happy with). Slac speak up! 20:33, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I wish to point out that there are two students to the best of my knowledge involved in other factions and one of which holds a position in NLC. However, its a rare sight and the student, whose name is Ruchir Punjabi ( a member of National Labor Students ) was elected on the state level only because the national faction had no control over it. However, the chances of someone like him getting elected at the national level are minimal. 20:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] National Queer Officer

Is that a joke?

Nope. Why would it be a joke?
