Sadly, yes. And as a currently enrolled university student, I'd like to
stand up and be counted as saying that I am happy to pay my student union
fees. Using the "logic" he applies to voluntary student unions, it could be

the government which they don't use and/or do not approve of. But,
strangely, Brendan Nelson is not in favour of voluntary income tax. What a
inconsistent man he is.

But notwithstanding this, I never knew that there was a UQ Lego club
(despite working on the UQ campus for the past 15+ years), but yeah verily,
it is so:

But I have no idea how many people are involved but I have emailed the
organiser to see if I can learn a bit more.
