  • New signups have slowed down.
    • 2-3 per day after launch of the online signup form.
    • Dropped to several per week.
  • More media attention and members expected post registration, based upon the experience of other parties.

David Haidon is running as an unendorsed independent pirate candidate in LGA elections

  • http://haidon4myrnong.wordpress.com/
  • Myrnong Ward, Moonee Valley Council Elections.
  • Running under Pirate Party principals, and stating that he is a member of PPAU.
  • LGA elections in Victoria require all candidates to be independent; they can be endorsed by parties.
  • Discussion over the legitimacy endorsements of candidates as PPAU is not federally registered yet.
  • Election is at the end of this month.
  • NC is still deliberating over the issue as notification of his intent to run for elections was last minute.

Radio talk back and news papers

  • David Campbell (President) has been contacting radio stations and newspapers to drum up publicity.

ACT Elections update

  • The 3 candidates are doing well.
  • Attempts by media to sabotage PPAU-ACT have been unsuccessful.

National Security Inquiry legislation draft Freedom of Information update

  • Attorney General's Department has refused PPAU's FoI request on the grounds:
    • It is in draft form.
    • It hasn't finished the processes of review.
    • To release the material would prejudice current negotiations and decision making processes.
  • All three reasons provided are invalid.
  • We will be appealing the refusal immediately to the OAIC (Office of the Australian Information Commissioner) and asking for any documentation relating to the draft.
  • PPAU supplemental submission to the NatSecInquiry has yet to be accepted, yet ASIO and Nicola Roxon were able to make late supplemental submissions.
