Hi!

My name is Tom Wood and I am running with Grassroots to be your Social Justice Officer. 

I am dedicated to fighting for a society that promotes fairness, equality and dignity. This drives my activism with Anti-Poverty Network SA, where I am the Campaigns Coordinator. As part of this activism, I have established Students for Anti-Poverty Action on campus. 

At Adelaide, I am active in several clubs. I am the founding President of the Social Sciences Society and a committee member of the Arts Students Association. 

As your Social Justice Officer, I will: 

Education Policy 

• Fight the Vice-Chancellor’s faculty mergers and job cuts 
• Petition to cut the Vice-Chancellor’s million-dollar salary 
• Advocate the end of ProctorU for online exams 

Ethical Investment 

• Lobby the University to: 
  • Divest from fossil fuels and the weapons industry
  • Create more opportunities for students in renewables 
  • Implement ethical sourcing requirements for university merchandise and materials 

Student Welfare 

• Campaign to lower the Centrelink age of independence from 22 to 18 
• And lobby the University to: 
  • Establish a Student Poverty Taskforce
  • Allow counsellors to sign off on Access Plans 
  • Begin a Disability Inclusion Week
