PDC Report

State coordinator reports:

NSW - Simon Frew

  • Sydney monthly meeting two Saturdays ago. Had a dozen or so members turn up and a couple from Germany.
  • At the meeting it was decided that we would hold a stall, we need flyers first so members have been hard at work writing content, we just need layout done, then to get some printed up.
  • People are quite keen to start campaigning for the upcoming election.
  • Also decided to look into holding a dinner. Early planning stages at this time (no details set)
  • Other cities encourages to organise their own dinners also

ACT - Glen Takkenberg

  • devdsp requested help with a FOI request about bluetooth sniffing data being done by Roads ACT to identify individual vehicle entry, exit and transit times through a suburb.
    • This FOI request has now been submitted by him
  • Meeting has been held since last report
  • Discussed that Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) stakeholder meetings were being held around the country by DFAT, and one will be in Canberra on July 2nd, PPAU-ACT intends to attend.
  • Discussed possible locations to host the National and Territory Congresses
  • Discussed updating the PPAU-ACT constitution to fit requirements for incorporating as an association under ACT requirements. This should be done by our Territory Congress.
  • Discussed campaigning in Queanbeyan to support NSW senate candidates.
    • Since not running ACT Senate candidates, best to supoort NSW
    • This led to talking about needing t-shirts, pins etc to campaign in.
  • And general chatting about updates to ppau policy post the policy and preselection meeting, broader pirate politics - e.g. success in Iceland

Vic. - Ben McGinnes

  • Nothing major to report since last meeting
  • Co-ordinator will be starting full-time Uni soon, but should not get in the way of organising duties
  • Will start planning a trial meeting for regional involvement via Mumble

WA - Krystin Dix

  • Next meeting Monday next week 13th.
    • Have a couple of members around that will be turning up. Should be good.
    • emails will be sent soon and getting help from Mozart on the FB side of things.

Tas. - Thomas Randle

  • Had a meeting a week and a half ago.
  • Planning to get social media presences setup
  • Should have another meeting this weekend if there's interest

QLD - Liam Pomfret

  • QLD had 2 meetings last week. One face to face on Tuesday, one online meeting on Wednesday.
    • Haven't had mcuh luck getting regional members involved in the online meetings yet.
  • Have mostly been discussing things relating to strategy for the upcoming election, ideas for ads, etc.
  • Have a couple of Android developers looking at creating a prototype app for the party.
    • Said app would include things like a news feed of our homepage, a @piratepartyau twitter feed, calendar of upcoming pirate events, and an (offline usable) list of party policies.
    • That's still in planning right now, and it'd need NC approval before it could even be published, but we've got some good hopes for this up here.
  • Next meetings should be next week on Wednesday (Online) and Thursday (Face-to-Face in Brisbane).
    • Emails for that will go out later tonight.

Other discussion (arising from reports)

  • Should look into a iPhone app as well, may have a apple developer around
    • Seems Greens only other party with an app, but it is very basic: just a link to sign up for campaign updates and to enroll to vote
