In his introductory On Dit editorial, Xenophon railed against the union's “misuse” of student funds, such as spending “$440 on Chile posters and Medibank broadsheets”.

He also outlined his plan to "stop the bias" at the student rag and described himself as having "evil, fascist tendencies":

"The principal problem facing previous On Dits was that of bias. I intend to 'stop the bias' in two ways. Firstly, there will be less emphasis on the heavy politics (particularly international politics) that filled the pages of On Dit in recent times.

"A second way of making On Dit a directly representative newspaper is by ensuring that both sides of an issue be published. This means that in, in some cases, I or other members of the On Dit staff will be writing to provide the second side of an issue, (although it is assumed that a flood of articles from clear cut leftists will arise to counter-act my evil, fascist tendencies)."

In another editorial, he talks about a "disturbing trend on campus for minority interests to attempt the imposition of their values upon others", such as the Gay Society and Women on Campus.

Xenophon describes the policies of the Australian Union of Students (now called the National Union of Students) as "out of touch with student interest" but still "rammed down our throats".

He specifically singles out the "humourless feminists".
