University of Auckland Debating Society

Australs is one of the premier debating tournaments in the Asia-Pacific region, attracting the best university debaters from across the area each year. This prestigious event offers an incredible platform for participants to sharpen their quick thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. These are qualities that extend far beyond debating.

We’re excited to reveal the talented Auckland teams who will be representing the University of Auckland at South China Australs next month:

Auckland 1: Judy Fong, Grace Baylis, Harper Smith
Auckland 2: Matthew Zheng, Levi Pruden, Valentino Tew
Auckland 3: Sumner Hancock, Ranudi Lelwala, Joe Howells
Auckland 4: Gabriel Toreja, Virginia Quartermain, Eve French
Auckland 5: Kyden Chan, Fiona Yan, Kim Milmine

Congratulations also to Aisha O’Malley, appointed as one of the tournament’s Chief Adjudicators, and Sharuka Wikramanayake, selected as an Independent Adjudicator.

We look forward to cheering on our Auckland squad as they take on the international stage. Stay tuned for the announcement of our full judging team!
