Tertiary Education Minister Steven Joyce has told students to keep their heads down and stop protesting against the government because they have a relatively privileged position in tough economic times. Perhaps he told National list MP Michael Woodhouse to keep his head down and vote against his conscience after he supported the EXMSS select committee submission to a bill on voluntary membership of students’ associations. In particular Woodhouse suggests that Labour should promote the ‘opt out’ compromise solution. It was such a good idea that our submission included it.
Its not such a good idea now, since Woodhouse has either been told to keep his head down or pull his head in, and vote against what he believes is right. [See video < here]
