Welcome to the Pirate Party Australia Wiki
The information exchange hub for the Pirate Party of Australia.

This wiki is predominantly for the use of the members of the Pirate Party Australia, its main intention and reason is for the internal development of policy and other collaborative projects as well as serving as an information repository for some of the most often referred to information sources. The main site will still serve as the only official point for the distribution of party information, campaigning materials and messages. To combat spam, only registered users will be able to edit documents and view/participate on talk pages. Please register an account. You can track changes to this wiki via RSS.

Meetings

Meetings are usually held not currently held every Wednesday night at 20:00 (AEDT) on the IRC server.

IRC meetings are held in the #ppau channel on PirateNet (au.pirateirc.net / irc.pirateparty.org.au).

You can view and add items to the meeting agenda on the Wiki as you wish.

Logs of previous meetings are also be available. You can find them on the Meeting Logs page.

All meetings of the National Council are minuted and can be found in the Meeting Minutes Category.

Current Events and Projects

  • Advocacy

One of the things that we need to do (that any political party needs to do) is advocacy. To this end, Promotional Materials is provided for your use. You should familarise yourself with the Pirate Manifesto and our Category:Policies. There is no worse advocate than an ill informed one. Material under Category:Further Reading might also prove useful.

  • Forming Committees

The National Council have recently announced several committees that are to be formed in the coming weeks. See the list of groups that are seeking members and apply to [email protected] if you feel that you can contribute!

We have completed the process of writing our constitution, which acts to define the goals, ideals and structures of the party and is necessary if we are to register the party as per Part XI of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. The Australian Electoral Commission or AEC distributes an electronic "Party Registration Handbook" which serves to explain the requirements and responsibilities of registering a federal party within Australia. We have summarised registration requirements in our Road to Registration outline.

We have also completed the process of incorporation, and the party has now created a body separate from the members.

We are currently working on developing our initial policy outline. If you believe there is something the party should adopt, add yourself to the Policy Development Committee.

The FAQ is a list of questions we've pre-empted, or get asked quite regularly, and is currently being revised, and developed.

It has been proposed that we should develop a small repository of literature, websites, journal articles, movies, audio, blogs and events that relate to the "Pirate" movement. If you know of, or have any materials that should be on the reading list, add them here.
