Summary

Alternative Name(s): Button

Liberal students' badge used in referenda to secede from the Australian Union of Students (AUS). The badge opposed the presumption that the wearer wants to be in the AUS.

It collapsed in 1984 and was succeeded by the National Union of Students in 1987 (Wikipedia 17/05/2018).
