He therefore joined the party and began placing his efforts into a run for the Pirate party. 13:34 < Tron92/D> Miles asked Adam Woodings what his political experience was whilst a member of the Sex Party. 13:34 < Tron92/D> Adam noted that he was a member but not very committed as he didn't have the time to commit. His situation now is that he can commit to politics given that his children are older. 13:35 < Tron92/D> Miles and Adam note that many of the issues seen in Australian politics is due to politicians coming solely from among political insiders. 13:36 < alexjago/D> Question: "the second candidate on the Senate ticket often falls into a supporting role. what sort of logistics / volunteer management experience do you have?" 13:36 < Tron92/D> Miles asked, Given that you are a father, how has that shaped your political views. 13:36 < Tron92/D> Adam responded: It is very much about what am I leaving for my children's future. He wants to ensure that we are leaving future generations with a better society and environment 13:38 < Tron92/D> Question from Alex Jago: "the second candidate on the Senate ticket often falls into a supporting role. what sort of logistics / volunteer management experience do you have?" 13:38 < Tron92/D> Adam answered: That he has a little bit of experience working with and coordinating teams. Adam noted that his wife has experience with volunteer work and management. 13:38 < alexjago/D> Thanks Adam. 13:41 < Tron92/D> Miles asks: How are you going to approach this campaign and what will be your areas of focus? 13:41 < Tron92/D> Adam answered: Adam is going to work to get speaking engagements at universities and community radio stations. Wants to approach student guilds and demographics which are going to be more favourable to the Pirate/Fusion party. Doesn't believe that generalised mail drops will be effective or achievable. 13:41 < Tron92/D> Adam believes that WA is largely a mining focused society and it will be difficult swinging voters outside of those demographics which already identify with the values of the Pirate/Fusion party. 13:41 < Tron92/D> The WA bushfires are an issue for people in WA. Adam has strong feelings about the climate emergency. 13:42 < Tron92/D> Adam wants to push the policy of better funding for the ABC and SBS to give greater representation of regional communities as this is both important for our democracy but also as there are a number of regional and remote communities in WA 13:43 < Tron92/D> Adam is concerned by the militarisation and politicisation of the police service in Australia. 13:43 < Tron92/D> Concerned about defamation laws in Australia so that wealthy individuals can't threaten politicians and individuals. 13:44 < Tron92/D> Miles I have a question 13:44 < Tron92/D> my question is. 13:44 < Tron92/D> What are your views on lethal and non lethal aid being sent to Ukraine 13:49 < alexjago/D> To put that in text: two stage vote for party candidate endorsement: floor vote now and online approval ballot 13:49 < alexjago/D> NC chooses whether to geotarget 13:52 < Tron92/D> Precedence is that all Pirate Party members legally allowed to vote are entitled to vote on this preselection regardless of whether they are physically in Australia or not. 13:52 < Tron92/D> This precedence was unchallenged and therefore accepted. 13:52 < Tron92/D> Miles handed over the chair to Liam to run the preselection election. 13:52 < alexjago/D> 6 day voting period 13:53 < Miles/D> I second Adam's cabdidacy 13:53 < Miles/D> I second Adam's candidacy (edited) 13:53 < Tron92/D> Precedence is that all Pirate Party members legally allowed to vote under Australian law are entitled to vote on this preselection regardless of whether they are physically in Australia or not. 13:53 < Tron92/D> This precedence was unchallenged and therefore accepted.
