VUWSA has a reputation as a radical left-wing students' association, with heavy involvement in New Zealand social movements, such as the Vietnam War where VUWSA donated money to the Viet Cong (it is rumoured they used it to buy a tank), 1981 Springbok Tour, and the Nuclear Free New Zealand Movement.
