Vic ALP sensible economic policy

 * Policy proposal circulated to the NC
 * Public support wouldn't be wise at the moment, NC will continue to monitor

Fundraising

 * Margin for the tallship party was $15, ideally would be higher for a true fundraiser
 * Instead of a congress tall ship a venue with a minimum drinks limit may be a good idea.
 * Trivia night?
 * David will contact the previous congress venue (Ross House) to work out a booking
