Honi Soit

Dhyon’s proxy, Julia Kokic and Zac O’Farrell refuse to partake in a solidarity photo against Islamophobia #USYDSRC

We lose quorum while moving to discuss a motion on condemning the Christchurch attacks and islamophobia more broadly. The meeting lapses at 10:58pm. #USYDSRC

The motion is voted on, and passes; three councillors abstain: Zac O'Farrell (Soft Right), Laura Glase (Lib), and a person who Honi understands to be a proxy for Hartley Dhyon (Soft Right) #USYDSRC

Ellie Stephenson (Groots) speaks to the importance of including men and non-binary people in conversations about abortion #USYDSRC

O'Farrell responds to criticism of his anti-abortion beliefs: "It's not fair that someone who has a certain view is called a misogynist" #USYDSRC

Speakers from SAlt decry Glase and O'Farrell who have put forward pro-life arguments tonight. Each speaks to the notion that neither Glase nor O'Farrell appear to be actively involved in refugee or First Nations activism, and have not condemned George Pell #USYDSRC

"Let her finish" yells out Jacky He #USYDSRC

Laura Glase (Lib) states that she will speak against the motion. Honi understands that she is a member of LifeChoice. #USYDSRC

Zac O'Farrell (Soft Right) argues that the word "sexist" is a slur. He then says that he is not trying to oppress women, but "genuinely believes" in pro-life rhetoric #USYDSRC

Speakers from SAlt and P. Wilkins Wheat of Switch speak in favour of the motion. J. Ardouin (Lib) "implores anyone who is part of the pro-life rhetoric to consider that we are part of a secular state" #USYDSRC

Layla Mkh (Groots) speaks to the motion "You can't stop abortion –you can only support safe abortion … pro-life people, show me you care about Aboriginal children and refugee children" #USYDSRC

A member of SAlt speaks to the motion on free, safe abortion on demand. "Surveys show that support for abortion in Australia has been at 80% since 2004" #USYDSRC

Motion discussing free safe abortion on demand is being discussed. James Ardouin proposes a motion to move to have unlimited speaking time and uncap the speaking list on this motion only. #USYDSRC

A motion enshrining Disabilities Honi in the SRC Constitution, in the way that other autonomous editions are enshrined, is passed. #USYDSRC

The motion is described as self-congratulatory by members of SAlt, but is carried #USYDSRC

The motion goes to a vote, and is carried. We move to discuss a motion concerning the lack of visibility of the SRC #USYDSRC

A member of SAlt urges Ardouin to interrogate "why the Colleges are Bettina's targets" and that "misogyny is bred in the colleges." #USYDSRC

Jazz Breen (Groots) speaks to the motion, Lily Campbell (SAlt) and Stricker-Phelps speak in favour of it. James Ardouin (Lib) states that he personally saw those who allegedly trespassed on college grounds and shows support for victims of sexual assault #USYDSRC

Zac O’Farrell (Soft Right), who was involved in the recently protested LifeChoice stall asks the SH officers as to what in the LifeChoice stall was pseudoscientific. Breen responds that LifeChoice “twists facts.” #USYDSRC
