The MONSU Student council in our committee meeting yesterday passed a motion accepting and endorsing the motion 'No Confidence in NUS Q***r/LGBTI 2018' passed by the Q***r collaborations conference. The full motion passed at the conference will be shared below.

CWs: References to harassment, misgendering, transphobia
Motion Name: No Confidence in NUS Q***r/LGBTI 2018
Mover: Vic caucus
Shaker: N/a
Motion: Platform:
(1) That Q***r Collaborations 2018 recognises an established pattern of behaviour displayed by one of the 2018 National Union of Students (hereafter referred to as NUS) National Q***r/LGBTI Officers, Jasmine Duff, that has been intimidatory, and transphobic in nature, namely:
(a) The misgendering, and verbal abuse of a q***r student during the proceedings of the 2017 NUS National Conference.
(b) Sustained personal harassment of q***r students prior to her election to the position of NUS National Q***r/LGBTI Officer in 2017.
(c) Failure to comply with, or complete a number of her responsibilities as listed under clause B77 of the NUS’ constitution, including, but not limited to, subclauses B77 (b), (c), (e), and (i).

(2) That these patterns of behaviour render Jasmine Duff unworthy of holding a role dedicated toward advocacy for, and representation of, the collective body of q***r students in Australia.

(3) That QC18 resolves:
(a) To declare a motion of no confidence in Jasmine Duff as the 2018 NUS National Q***r/LGBTI Officer.
(b) To encourage all student unions, associations, guilds etc. affiliated to the NUS to submit to their respective councils, or equivalent bodies, motions of no confidence in Jasmine Duff in kind, for the same reasons as those listed above, and, upon doing so, to disseminate press releases, and communications to their members informing them of this.
(c) To demand that Jasmine Duff resign her position as NUS National Q***r/LGBTI Officer effective immediately.
(i) Or, should Jasmine Duff not resign from the NUS National Q***r/LGBTI Office of her own volition, to demand that the NUS National Executive resolve to remove Jasmine Duff from her position as NUS National Q***r/LGBTI Officer according to section R55 of the constitution.
(ii) That the procedure for R55 be carried out by a postal ballot of all 2017 NUS National Conference delegates as is the established constitutional precedent for other processes requiring a vote of delegates without convening an in-person meeting of delegates (as set out in section B88 of the National Union of Students constitution).
(d) That, should Jasmine Duff’s position be vacated by either of the above means, the vacated NUS National Q***r/LGBTI Officer position be filled by one of the candidates endorsed by Q***r Collaborations by means of a postal ballot as outlined in section B88.1 of the National Union of Students constitution.
(e) To direct QCOC, and AQSN to disseminate a press release articulating the above resolved to demands.
