Observer sent out a survey to all of the 41 candidates for Gen Rep in this year’s ANUSA elections. We collated the 33 responses into info cards for each candidate, including their recent experience, background, some policy priorities, and – just for fun – the number of emoji and random words in ALL CAPS they included in their Facebook DP caption. We hope that these cards will help you inform your vote.
The ordering of the cards is randomised each time the page is loaded. For candidates who did not submit a survey, we include their picture and ticket name, with no further information. Clicking on a card will open it in a new tab.
What do the questions mean?
Disclaimer: This is not a perfect summary. It won’t tell you anything about the character, competence or commitment of any of the candidates, and there are certainly great differences between candidates in all those areas. What it can tell you is which candidates agree with you on some of the most contentious issues facing ANUSA, and give an insight into how much their priorities match yours. Our recommendation is that you look at the candidates whose policies intrigue you, go check out their pages yourself, and see what you think.
Thank you to all the candidates who gave us your info! And if you’re struggling to choose, stay tuned for our Gen Rep Quiz.
