Minutes

QLD election? thoughts and preferences? The U.S. presidential election is popular, should we have a formal position? (they're both geriatric turdballs IMO) (Adopting a formal position on other countries' political environment, however obvious, seems odd for an Australian party that's not in power - Pip) Aussie Media has been giving a lot of news space to it, so there's that. Oddly, many Australians seem more interested in US politics than our own.

Qld election

  • context for others: 2017 saw first Greens MP elected,
  • two others came close, same candidates this time with good chance of winning
  • Labor is... unhappy about this
  • Likely chance of minority govt
