Voting for Honi? It’ll be ACE

Winston Churchill once said,

“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity.
Vote ACE and get over it.”

But hey, if fictitious endorsements don’t do it for you, then let us lay our cards on the table.

Keen for Honi to be well edited, relevant and sexier than the Schaeffer Library?

We’re the ACE up your sleeve.

If you’re hankering for a Honi that is DIVERSE, SHARP, INDEPENDENT and (h)ONLINE, make sure you ACE it.

DIVERSE:

Like the Planeteers, your ACE team has diverse interests, different backgrounds and kick-ass magic rings.

We’re involved in every corner of this campus and we’re determined for Honi to reflect that. We’re committed to making sure that Honi pays attention to ALL faculties, clubs and societies. More sport. More student bands and artists. More science. More goss from the French Soc conversation groups –quel scandale!

ACE wants to keep this deck shuffled.

SHARP:

Ever tried to kill a bear with a blunt stick? It just wastes your time and angers the bear.

But let’s get to the point: blunt is bad. We need a sharp and cutting-edge Honi.

We’re the ticket for the most ballsy, biting and bold satire around. We have zero shame. ZERO. If we’re not being sued for defamation by the end of the year, we may as well have let the damn bears run the paper.

Our collective experience in editing publications and writing for the wider media will translate into an ACE paper that is witty, professional and slick. After all, we’ve been sticking to deadlines, filing stories, sipping coffee and meeting anonymous sources in car parks since we were in nappies (one of us still wears them).

And like a Hillary Clinton pantsuit, we’re going to dress this up in a package that’s stylish, chic and disturbingly sexy.

INDEPENDENT:

Remember how the Swiss chose to remain independent during WWII? That took balls. Well, we’re kind of the same except half of us are girls (no balls per se) and most of us aren’t hoarding Nazi gold.

Having truly independent Honi editors is essential for a hard-hitting and vibrant student newspaper with a variety of opinions.

We’ve purposefully refrained from joining political parties or campaigning with other candidates. We’ll be able to publish more stories that affect students without checking over our shoulders for party approval.

We’re playing an open hand. That’s ACE.

(h)ONLINE:

You may have heard about this wacky new technology called the ‘interweb’, but apparently Honi hasn’t. It’s time Honi expanded online with an engaging and accessible website which will enable more students to interact with and contribute to the best student newspaper in Australia.

We’re even prepared to sacrifice 20% of our pay to get it done.

Let’s put the ACE in cyberspACE.

In summary:

• Henry Winkler is ACE.
• Lego is ACE.
• Winston Churchill is ACE.

And if you vote ACE for Honi, it’ll be flippin’ ACE.
