Support Universal Student Unionism

INSERT AFTER 113:

Support the reversal of Voluntary Student Unionism federally, and advocate for a return to Universal Student Unionism.
Ensure that the definition of "student-led organisation" is strengthened, to guarantee that a minimum percentage of SSAF is allocated to independent student unions.

Original Paragraph 113
Support a study allowance for full time students that is at least equal to a living wage. This recognises that full time study is a worthy pursuit that ultimately benefits society, and that students deserve support and encouragement. Such a scheme will not be structured in a way that entrenches a pool of cheap student labour.
Original Paragraph 114
Ensure Commonwealth Government funding to states/territories is sufficient to support government education in delivering quality outcomes.
