Constituent treasurers of NZUSA took bold steps in Easter Council to censure the resident executive for financial mismanagement and at the same time provide for sweeping financial reforms.

Examining the president's financial report in Finance Commission, the delegate from Otago moved a formal vote of censure for what he called "irresponsible and disorganised financial affairs."

"As far as we're concerned, the whole thing is bordering on scandal," he said.

Victoria expressed the opinion that the terms of censure, due to the complications which arose over the resignation of NZUSA treasurer Mike Reynolds were "slightly too strong." But the motion was carried and went down on the books.
