Welcome to the Monash Association of Debaters: the largest and most successful debating society in the Southern hemisphere. MAD has a rich history spanning nearly 50 years, and we are passionate about building on this legacy and entrenching our position as the most friendly and inclusive club at Monash University.
Monash University has won the World Universities Debating Championships (WUDC) for the second year in a row, beating teams from Oxford, Stanford and the University of Sydney.
The winning team, 'Monash B', comprised of Amit Golder and Kiran Iyer. Having debated extensively for MAD over several years, with many other debating successes, Amit and Kiran won the grand final in a unanimous decision. Arguing in support of nationalism from Opening Government, déjà vu was on side for the pair as Monash historically drew Opening Government the previous year, where Victor Finkel and Fiona Prowse also won.
In other success, 3 out of 4 teams sent to the tournament broke into finals, with 'Monash C' making it to the Semi Final. Chris Bisset, from 'Monash C' was also ranked as ninth best speaker at the competition.
The WUDC was hosted by De La Salle University in Manila. It ran between the 27th December 2011 and the 4th January 2012. Over 1400 students from more than 70 nations in the worlds largest British Parliamentary tournament. Next year, the WUDC will be hosted in Berlin by the Berlin Debating Union
