Current Activities
In the 2005 New Zealand general election the organisation strongly advocated in favour of policies it long held. These include reduction of student debt, and universal access to student allowances for full-time students. Such policy was supported by many minor parties, including the Greens, NZ First and United Future. The previous Labour-lead Government introduced 0% student interest on student loans policy, but the organisation continues to campaign against decreasing access to student allowances, and systemic fee increases.
