About Span
- Span
- Span likes to think of herself as a mysterious interwab force for feminism and leftwingedness. However the truth is, as always, more mundane, what with blogging being the natural home of the frustrated and rant-inclined. Span is most certainly of their ilk. Sometimes she even talks about herself in the third person. We rest our case.

Yay Joey! Well done dude :)
My understanding is that JR won enough votes to win the first co-prez position outright, but other candidates failed to reach some type of no-confidence threshold - I am not sure of the exact mechanism. I expect it will be election season at NZUSA for wee a bit longer while they elect a successful candidate to the second co-president position.
If the mechanism is still the same as back in my day it is a 50% threshold I think. I guess they will now go to a postal ballot, as it tends to get to a point where no one will change their votes enough to allow anyone to win and the balloting becomes an interminable process of sadism.
But yay for Joey! I heard the same goss as you Joe regarding Mr Randall's success :-)
Yeah big ups to joey. It's been awhile since an ausa person has been co-prez for the national organisation.
thanks for the reminder Kate, i had quite forgotten about EVP (i literally just found his EVP card in my diary when i was cleaning it out, spooky)
it has been a while since an AUSA type was in the NZUSA leadership - would the last one be Sam Huggard?
Oh and roshni sami. Anyway in true AUSA style I think they ended up voting against Sam but he got through anyway.
Cheers for all your support, it certainly is going to be a really important year.
NZUSA elections are interesting beasts, there are 3 rounds and to win you need to gain 2/3rds of possible votes in any one round. If there are 2 spots there are 200% the votes but any one candidate can only gain 100% of them. I won first round with 88% of the vote and then the president of Vic, Jeremy, and the president of Waikato, Shiju, battled for the other co-president spot but neither managed to get the required 2/3rd in any of the 3 rounds. It now goes to another 3 rounds in a month with nominations reopened.
Yeah Sam was the last co-pres and Roshni the last NWRO from AUSA.
