Alex Jago
I am the incumbent Secretary. I like to think that I've gotten through the year without too many unfixable screwups. | I'm running for Secretary because I figure I've now demonstrated that I can do it. If someone more qualified than me would like to be Secretary, I'll happily take the Deputy role. | In 2018-2019 and 2022, I've helped fight two elections (mostly in support of our kickarse Qld candidates), taken on primary responsibility for the party Facebook page, and of course I've done the usual Secretariat meetings and memberships and submissions things. In between it's been more of a keep-the-lights on thing in general, but I've maintained my various existing responsibilities.

I've been a part of all election campaigns in my area since I joined the party in 2014 (Griffith by-election; 2016 & 2019 & 2022 generals).

As I keep saying, our pressing task over the next year remains to grow not just in total members but active, engaged members. Fusion has state elections to fight, and that spurs participation - we're in a good place. I don't pretend to have a magic solution, but I'll support things that seem like they'll help, with both my time and my influence. | Yes. I've never been a member of any party except PPAU + Fusion, and I hope that never changes. I've also helped out various Greens campaigns as an HTV-person, door-knocker and map-drawer. (The first two count as campaigning skills development.) | I'm alexjago#3273 on the party Discord server, My Discourse profile is at https://discuss.pirateparty.org.au/u/alexjago and I'm @alexjago51 on Twitter. | }}

Dr Liam Pomfret
Concerns over possible conflicts of interest with my position on the APF Board, as well as a need to focus on my academic work, have kept me on the relative outside of the party for a number of years now. At the same time however, this has also kept me well apart from any internal disputes and conflicts which may have occurred during that time. I feel this puts me in a good position to act as a member of the Dispute Resolution Committee, with the need to maintain strict impartiality on any issues that may arise.| I believe the Dispute Resolution Committee position is an ideal way for me to still contribute back to the party without interfering with my academic and civil society responsibilities.| I have been with the Pirate Party since early in it's life, before it was formally registered as a party. In the early years of the party (August 2012 - July 2013), I acted as the state coordinator for QLD, organizing regular meetings in Brisbane for a relatively modest sized crew. I also stood as a PPAU candidate for the QLD Senate in the 2013 federal election. I have been a member of the Dispute Resolution Committee since 2018, and am currently part of the Dispute Resolution Committee for FUSION. Outside of the party, I am a marketing consultant and part-time academic. With my research into issues of online consumer privacy, I've aimed towards finding ways to persuade consumers to act more responsibly with regards to sharing their information online; and persuading companies to shift to business models which respect and promote consumer privacy. I am also highly active on Twitter, where I've fostered strong relationships with people in the broader digital rights advocacy and activism community.| I thoroughly believe in the Pirate Party's platform and ideals, though I may sometimes quibble over specific implementations of those. I have never been a member of any other political party (unless you count the membership of the whole party in FUSION). In the activist/advocacy space, I am a current board member of the Australian Privacy Foundation (and chair of its technical committee), a life member of Electronic Frontiers Australia, and a founding member of Digital Rights Watch| }} {{Candidate| |

As a person who wants to help the movement and party to help get the party to work in a more open and non-discriminatory way, I want to help in any way that I can. I am willing to learn to advance my skills to act as an arbitrator and any other role if needed.| I would like to help the movement and party advance its goals and work to make a more collaborative, non-discriminatory, and open movement/party| I have contributed to Policies and discussions. I am willing to help any way that I can. I am the operator of the most of the live streams for 2019 to present including this one!| I agree with all of the policies and ideals of PPAU and of Fusion. I am extremely proud that this movement and party bases its policies on facts. I have been a member of the Dispute Resolution Committee since 2018, and am currently part of the Dispute Resolution Committee for FUSION. | Sorry again for the page being so lacking... }}
