2006 Environmental Policy PDF Print E-mail

1. The UOW Liberal Club calls on the NSW state opposition as a part of its 2007 election platform to abandon the desalination plant and to
a) Recycle water

b) That the UOW Liberal club condemn the NSW Labor government and its Sydney metropolitan water plan, and its proposed extraction of 110 mega litres from the Shoalhaven River.

2. With consideration to the Internet being largely graphical and bandwidth intensive, the UOW Liberal Club calls on UOW to review the current Internet quota for students for the purpose of:
a) Determining what a fair Internet quota for students is, with the intention of increasing it from its current level.
b) Increasing the frequency of quota expiration from a per session basis to a daily or weekly basis, as currently students can exceed their quota in a day if they have their laptops set to automatically download updates, with the end result being that the student is excluded from using the Internet for the rest of the academic session.
c) Allowing students to purchase Internet access beyond their set quota, as is standard practice at other major Universities.
d) Acquiring a Windows Update / WSUS Server, so that students can update their systems without using up their Internet quota.
