Organizations ink 13 agreements, as representatives declare that historic ties have become economic opportunities -- though full diplomatic ties are still on hold
Riazaty, a Liberal Party member who is not Jewish but claims to have many friends who are, said at the time that he believed UMSU acted outside of its purpose as a student union by violating the Associations
Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001.
Following the council’s decision on Thursday, Riazaty said the point of the letter of demand was for the union to understand that they couldn’t engage in “immoral conduct thinking they are above it and thinking they are above their own rules, purposes and above the law”.
“There are going to be students, as has happened in this instance, that are going to take steps to right what is a wrong and to seek justice,” he said.
A student union, threatened with legal action and a potential class action, has rescinded a motion calling on Melbourne University to boycott and divest from Israel.
