Pirate Party Australia is pleased to announce that Australian Online Solutions is sponsoring 10 lots of membership fees for those who need a bit of help.

If you feel you fit into this category, email [email protected] and let us know why. Be quick, as these spots will go very quickly! If you would like to contribute the way Australian Online Solutions has, also email [email protected] and we can go from there.

If your fees are sponsored, you still need to submit an application form, as normal. I’m sure that the sponsor would also appreciate a thank you tweet or blog post, if possible.
