RepsElect is the Super Bowl of student politics. That is if nobody other than those involved watched the superbowl. Too bad Honi is involved (it is our job).
The University of Sydney Union’s Board met on Friday for their monthly meeting, inviting Honi along to enjoy (free) cold pizza and partake in the festivities.

NSW Health has granted an exemption for Pride in Protest’s Mardi Gras march tomorrow, allowing the event to have up to 1500 people and exceed the current political gatherings limit of 500.
More than 1100 people have RSVPed for tomorrow’s march, with over 3200 interested.
This is the first protest to be granted an exemption by NSW Health. As a result, NSW Police have withdrawn Supreme Court proceedings against organisers.
The approval comes after significant community pressure, including letters of support from Greens, Labor and Independent Members of Parliament, as well as 78ers a group of activists who marched in the first Mardi Gras in 1978.
