Happy New Year!
As proposed in the monthly update for December, we are holding a strategy meeting this coming Wednesday, January 13 at 8:30pm AEDT in IRC:
https://pirateparty.org.au/irc/
There are two proposed topics, relations with other Parties and the formation of State branches.
I have written posts on Discuss to give some background and inform debate. They are here:
Relations with smaller Parties:
State Branches:
Please come along and share your thoughts or add them to Discuss, particularly if you can’t make it.
In other current news for the party:
Work is now well underway on our membership management software system, expect more news about that in the near future.
We also have the Counterstrike Global Offensive Fundraiser this Sunday, against r/CirclejerkAus. There is over $600 in the kitty and if we win it will help fund our next election.
If you are an ok CS:GO player and wish to raise your hand to join the pirate team, there is still time.
There is more info here: https://discuss.pirateparty.org.au/t/counter-strike-global-offensive-fundraiser/619
There has been some media attention of the event here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs9w-GxWcQM and “Posty” from r/CirclejerkAus has made a hype video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJjLYQnWiWM
