De Minimis Columnist Once More Disappoints Readers

27/5/2021

 
Volume 19, Issue 12

​Anonymous

Week 12 can be a brutal time at the Melbourne Law School. Some lucky students begin their QUIET retreat to beach houses in Noosa, Portsea, or Byron Bay for “some quiet space.” 

But for the unwashed masses, it must suffice to allow the filth to pile up our living rooms and kitchens as we begin to bury ourselves in practice exams.

Of course, De Minimis’ offices are no exception to this filth – and I am not talking about the stuff we publish on our website.  

Deep within our subterranean lair beneath the university, the palest and thinnest among us – starved from any sort of nutritious eating – have become near-indistinguishable from the white rats.  

But that’s okay. Unlike holding a position of leadership within a socially valuable enterprise – like the LSS – the best part about being a columnist is that one does not need to show one’s face. 

Come to think of it, even the term ‘columnist’ seems a bit far-fetched; a journalistic bid for respect from perhaps the least self-respecting writers within the student body. 

But alas, here we are. It is a cold Thursday morning. The law school edges towards exams. The city towards lockdown. 

And I have nothing else to write. 

See you on the other side, friends!

LSS NOT A SOCIALLY VALUABLE ENTERPRISE
27/5/2021 07:59:14 pm

I am just writing a quick note to note that the LSS is not a socially valuable enterprise, contrary to the claim made in the article.

De Min was better when it provided a voice for the mass of law students in the cohort who aren't represented by the LSS. What is the point of simping for the LSS?

Appeasment?
27/5/2021 08:04:41 pm

Is this article offered up as a tribute to the LSS to make up for last weeks anti-LSS article? Is there a policy of editorial 'balance' where one pro-LSS article is married to an anti-LSS article?

I am PRO LSS and PRO De Min - does this article represent me? I am PRO transparency and PRO leadership team. I am PRO rights and PRO journalism and ANTI undemocratic representation of the cohort and PRO full and complete representation of the cohort.

De Min can give me a voice by writing better articles in future. The LSS can give me a voice by giving me better representation in future. De Min and LSS an co-exist as two representative bodies, like the 'fourth branch' or Federal ICAC, and hold each other to account like Yin and Yang.

Great article, and thank YOU for standing up for the LSS. Such an epic organisation that contributes to the society in which we live.
