Is the AUSA a serial offender?

We've blogged a bit in the last week about the AUSA's attempt to disaffiliate a group with whose views it does not  agree.

We assumed that this was a one-off incident, but a comment we received yesterday suggests that the AUSA is a serial offender; check this out:


Oh dear. The AUSA's abhorrence of free speech goes back some 15 years, and this week's act is simply the most recent of a series. This latest affront has arisen from an anonymous "complaint" which the AUSA refused to substantiate; read into that what you will.

Perhaps it's time that the students of Auckland University exercised THEIR freedom of speech, and sent a message by calling a Special General Meeting and disaffiliating the current members of the AUSA executive, who seem to be setting a very poor example to those who elected them. That would set the cat loose amongst the pigeons.

This has got as much to do with free speech as Paul Henry getting fired for being a dick, or your banning of people from your blog for expressing views and providing facts you find inconvenient. That is it's not a free speech issue, regardless of how often you shriek FREEDOM OF SPEEEEEEECH!

Go away Judge; you abused your privilege of posting here.

If I came into your house and peed all over the furniture, you would send me packing. That's the cyber-equivalent of what you did here. The terms of posting are clearly displayed, and you chose to flout them.

Come back next year. In the meantime, any comment you make will be deleted.
