NZUSA president Alister Taylor challenged the constitutional basis of the meeting except for the motions stated on the agenda.

Tony Ashenden challenged the constitutional basis of everything on the agenda.

Commerce student Neil Woodhams moved to set aside the relevant portion of the constitution.

Dave Butler said that this contradicted "the fundamental principles of British justice."

Taylor said that such a motion could only be passed unanimously.

The motion was carried 33-11 but was not proceeded with as all the former constitutional arguments were re-opened again.
