Anything Young Labor Can Do, The Young Liberals Can Do Better

Ahh, politics. Every time I read about the playful antics of the kids involved in Young Anything parties, it makes me wish I’d gotten involved in student politics during my brief time at university. This would have required me lasting longer than six months at my tertiary institution of choice, but at least I probably would have been drinking the same amount.

Hot on the heels of Young Labor’s exceptional booze up earlier this year, the Young Liberals have hopped aboard the metaphorical Vengabus and behaved dreadfully.

Heavily-intoxicated Liberal students have been thrown out and banned from a Canberra youth hostel after an all-night drinking rampage. About 40 university students from the Australian Liberal Students’ Federation – some of them Young Liberals – were evicted after being caught swearing, spitting and kicking walls earlier this month.

Witnesses have told The Daily Telegraph that two drunk Liberal students were caught having sex in the hostel after a pub crawl and that organisers of the conference supplied free bottles of vodka to attendees.

Shameful behaviour. But if it makes the moral majority feel any better, at least we can be confident the sex was quick, unsatisfactory, and probably followed by some crying.
