A Girl-Bash of a Weekend: Women's 2009
Saturday, 31 October 2009

It was a sad day for the history of Woman Kind when it turned out that Lady Gaga was no longer a Lady. Furthermore, when the only affair on Margaret Iron-Man Thatcher's record was the Westland Affair 1986  - where she was allegedly fully dressed the whole time - women of the globe feel the pain of it. But no more. One splendid Friday 25th - Monday28th September Macquarie University hosted a magical National Women's Intervarsity Tournamentfor 2009Women's is heralded as having the most delicious + fancy foodand cutest cocktails out of all the Debating Champs, though this standard only really surfaced after Anh Tran Nam pionerred Women's in2008.  Women's is a celebration of the development of female excellence in debating. It explains why so many of the top ranked debaters in the world such as Lauren Humphrey, Naomi Oreb and Sarah Lynch  (the Adjudication Core for 2009) are excessively feminine and why UNSW Debsoc, for instance, has had to instigate a Recruit Men and Boys back into Debsoc Emergency Initiative Plan no. 2089932.

UNSW was represented by a mighty fine (though, unfortunately - brawearing) contingent of Paulette Lo, Alice Lang, Zulpha Styer, Anh TranNam, Su Min Lim, Mariel Barnes, Kristyn Glanville and Angela Kintominas. Debaters tussled about with some volatile topics, such as -"That this house would allow inter sexed and transsexual people to compete in
Women's sporting events" and "That this house would pay people to vote". After debating was all done we gave our brains a rest by painting our nails and putting on lip gloss which were complementary in show bags.  

As well as taking home the "Carving Up The D-Floor" Award /"Providing Hot Music for Championship Dinz" Award*** UNSW Debsoc also served up two of the hottest and mightily finest Grand-FinalistsWomen's has ever seen. 

A massively HUGE congratulations goes to Su Min Lim and Anh Tran Nam who did UNSW proud with their 95+ scoring, intergalatical, brainmelting team effort in the Grand Final "That this house would lift the ban on headscarves at Turkish universities" which they debated from Closing Government. When someone broke their chair from hitting it too hard at 3 min 57 s during Su Min's speech it became rather apparent the girls were the crowd favourite. Thanks to Macquarie Uni for putting on such an amazing tournament! 

*** sadly, Org Com did not take up this offer.
