Monash (MAD) is widely regarded as one of the best debating universities in the world – as the first university to ever win back-to-back World championships, and the fantastic record of having won 9 Australs and 5 Worlds since 1990, more than any other University during that time. Here is a wider summary of MAD’s IV successes, that is if you haven’t already seen them on the back of our T-shirts which we always proudly wear on day 1 of every major tournament.
