What was decided
The majority voted against amendments introduced by Victorian Senator Sarah Henderson (Liberal), which means they failed.
Senator Henderson explained that:
we are proposing, with this amendment, an important safeguard to prohibit the use of student support and amenities fee funds, SSAF funds, for student elections, student protests or protest related activities, because what we want to ensure is that these very valuable resources directly benefit student welfare and essential services.
