Quandamooka

 * Shelved for now

Website

 * We have OpenGraph default images for posts now
 * More to do. AJ's problem by default.

Presel

 * EOI for the seat of Grey in SA
 * Grey covers most of SA's landmass so is kinda awkward electorally
 * Senate bang-for-buck generally better than Reps ($4K per Senate ticket and an entire state, $1K per Reps ticket but only one electorate)
 * However, running in Reps boosts Senate vote
 * then again currently there *is* no Senate ticket in SA
 * "if prospective candidate is willing to self-fund, go for it"
 * No formal decision made

Printing things

 * Flyers
 * AlexJ has updated the 'self-print' style flyer with new text
 * 'wave' style full-colour flyer to also get new text, approval over email
 * Shirts
 * AD and DR speak against tapebones, MW and AJ for
 * "tapebones is a bit old"
 * AJ asked a non-member what she thought of potential designs. Plain tapebones (white on black) rated highly as pure merch
 * No formal decision made
