Ambushing WUSA's protest against John Howard

During semester, WUSA decided to join a national protest on John Howard, George W. Bush and their foreign policy. UOW Liberal Club members saw this as a good opportunity to point out to campus students how their funding is actually being spent and that WUSA is in fact often only representitive of a small section of the University community.
