Join the Farego Campaign!

Did you know that the State Government refuses to grant travel concessions to international students? A court found this behaviour constituted discrimimination. Did you know that in response, the NSW Government changed the law to make the
Travel Concessions Act exempt from anti-discrimination law?

International students are students first, international second. They deserve equal treatment. We are running a postcard campaign to change the law so it will be fair. Please fill out one of our postcards and drop it off at the WUPA Offices, Building 115 Northfields Avenue. You don't have to be an international student — or even a student — to support our campaign. Any adult can fill out one of our postcards.

International students in NSW do not receive travel concessions. In 2006, a legal tribunal has ruled international students should receive them, and that the State Government's refusal to allow
this was illegal discrimination. The State Government responded by changing the law to make the Travel Concessions Act exempt from anti-discrimination law. This is a grossly cynical and exploitative move by the State Government. International students are students first, international second. They deserve equal treatment.

WUPA, WUSA and ICIS are running a postcard campaign to help change the law. To help us, pick up one of our postcards.
You can get them from the offices of WUPA, WUSA and ICIS.

Fill out the back in blue or black pen. Then hand the postcard in to one of the offices, or post it to the address on the back. You can also give the postcards to friends to fill out. You don't have to be an international student, or even a student, to fill out this postcard. Any adult can support this campaign.
