The position of Publications Officer is recognised as being one of the most difficult of the Executive positions. It involves basic knowledge of student affairs and a wide understanding of publishing. After the resignation of Colin Feslier, I was appointed to the position of interim Publications Officer by the executive and have gained considerable experience. I feel this prior experience would be invaluable to me if elected.

The Publications Officer is expected to have a great knowledge of how a newspaper is produced and as Technical editor of Salient, responsible for the layout of the paper, I have this knowledge.

But there is more to it. The Publications Officer is a member of the Executive, and as such he must know what the executive does. I am also very experienced in this area, having been a member of many University Committees, a delegate to NZUSA May Council, having taken great interest in the campaign against foreign control and the anti-apartheid movement, and now Interim Publications Officer.

If elected Publications Officer, I will adopt, at all times, a "student-first" policy. In these times of division in the Publications Board, an experienced Publications Officer is necessary.
