 * See motions

Other position changes

 * Asher Wolf has had to resign due to perceived conflict of interest, effective immediately.
 * We have to refill the Social Media Team

Banking update

 * Ben has signed the form and it is on its way to Brisbane for Mel to sign

Pozible update

 * http://pozible.com/pirateswa2014
 * $5,284 in 3 days but it's getting way trickly
 * today was only around $400, so it's halving each day - which is not good
 * Brendan proposes a meme frenzy on Facebook
 * eg: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7611623/metadata-meme-mockup-layouttest.png
 * https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7611623/metadata-meme-mockup.png
 * the idea is we have about 10 of these, and ease them into the concept with the first 3-4 of them with easy to understand ones then the latter are "you know the pattern, now consider the consequences"

Melbourne Situation

 * Ben not here so can't address this issue properly
 * Frew to contact Ben and ensure Mark Streets receipt is taken care of - see action items

WA preselection meeting plan

 * We got two candidates, so we need to host a preselection meeting
