 * Australia's deceptive anti-piracy campaign


 * We need guerrilla marketing ideas


 * Let companies know how they can raise awareness of issues that PPAU campaigns on


 * Survey questions to ask to assess Australia


 * Designers are wanted to develop promotional graphics for projects, press releases, etc. Catch the public's eye!


 * Marketers are wanted to help understand Australia's culture, tackle youth apathy, raise awareness of PPAU, and more.


 * IT people are wanted to help maintain and develop party systems. There's potential wikileaks system, torrent tracker, etc.


 * Lawyers are wanted for a range of issues in the areas of intellectual property and telecommunications. We want to do some legal-gray stuff due to unjust laws. We may expand to take on more areas.


 * PPAU is open to business ideas to generate party funds.

Think you can help us do it or can you help PPAU more? [Jump into chat and ask]
