AUSA is aware that some anonymous complaints were made after voting closed and a petition was received regarding interference with the voting process. AUSA has taken these complaints seriously and has worked closely with the Returning Officer to consider and investigate the allegations. Despite calls for witnesses to come forward on a confidential basis, complainants and witnesses have chosen not to engage in the investigation process and ultimately the complaints cannot be substantiated. Having taken external legal advice, AUSA has formed the view that no further action can be taken under the election provisions in the AUSA Constitution or under the AUSA Election Rules and Procedures 2024.

If any Member continues to have concerns about any officer(s) of the Executive, it is open to that Member to follow the process set out in the AUSA Constitution. ... See MoreSee Less

🖼️ Support alumni from the University of Auckland at Through the Lens: Gendered Reflections - an exhibition of female photographers.

📅 2 October to 13 November 2024
📍 Old Government House, 24 Princes St

Showcasing art from University of Auckland - Waipapa Taumata Rau and all alumnae from the Elam School of Fines Arts. Including work from; Yvonne Todd, Lisa Reihana, Marti Friedlander, Ann Shelton, and Yuki Kihara.

Stop, focus and zoom out - step back from your mundane lives to see not only the trees but the whole forest in this exciting and timely exhibition. Drawing on Laura Mulvey’s 1973 theory of the male gaze, this exhibition turns the tables to explore the female gaze through the diverse lens of talented women photographers from Aotearoa.

Emerging from various time periods and cultural backgrounds, each artist has developed their own unique approach, using the camera as a meta-language to deconstruct common conceptions of femininity, identity, and place. We encourage you to put down the camera that you are always carrying and, instead, explore the world through the lens of these talented female artists. ... See MoreSee Less

Kia ora koutou,

We are aware of some concerns surrounding the recent AUSA elections and concerns around the integrity of the voting process.

Any students who have evidence of improper voting or of any other activity which could affect the integrity of the vote are encouraged to directly contact the Returning Officer, Bob Lack (bob@lack.gen.nz). If there are students who have had this happen to them, we encourage them to reach out to the Returning Officer directly. It is important to note that any complaints will be investigated independently following the principles of natural justice.

Additionally, as per section 30 of the AUSA Constitution, a candidate may submit a signed form to the Association Secretary with the signatures of fifty Members, or any Member may submit a signed form to the Association Secretary with the signatures of one hundred Members, so long as they do so within five days of the Annual Executive Elections closing if feel that the Returning Officer “acted in a manner that would cause any reasonable Member to doubt that they acted fairly and impartially and that the winning candidate was knowingly and materially advantaged as a result”. For the avoidance of doubt, these can be directed to our Association Secretary (gm@ausa.org.nz) before Friday 30th August, 5pm.

We would also like to take this time to remind all of our members to refrain from making judgements without evidence. We would like to reassure our members to remain calm, respectful, and kind through all of this and to follow the formal channels for issues such as this.

Ngā mihi,
AUSA ... See MoreSee Less
