Brendan flying to Qld

 * Brendan will be flying to Queensland next Tuesday to help with the election.

Corflutes

 * We will need corflute signs for the election day
 * Jarrod to design them
 * Make the design similar to the Greens, so they can be reused for future elections.
 * Just leave a space for a name.
 * Mel will send photos to Jarrod
 * We want to make these as resuable as possible
 * Recycling
 * Cost effective
 * So much more
 * Can look good.
 * Backgrounds can be colour matched so that images can be stuck on seamlessly.
 * Jarrod will make a mockup of the idea quickly
 * Signs should:
 * Have the smallest number of words possible, in big text
 * Non-confusing background to be readable by drivers
 * Each election we can just put a new sticker on them.
 * Quote for corflutes was $2,225 for 250 of them.
 * We probably want 100 at most — 50 for street, 50 for boothes.
 * Might cost about $1100 instead, because of economies of scale.
 * Jarrod to make design by tomorrow morning
 * Dimensions are 600 by 900mm.

More HTVs

 * Electorate has 90,000 voters.
 * 10,000 HTVs is about $3700.
 * If we send out a volunteer email ASAP, we will know how many HTVs are needed.
 * Mel will also check up with all the volunteers from the federal election
 * 4% of the vote will give us a return of about $9,000 in electoral funding.
 * Mel to draft an email for volunteers tonight, Brendan to send tomorrow morning.

mX

 * Frew to look into mX ads again.

Provisional budget

 * Agreed that $4,000 is a good amount for the election campaign.
