Minutes
Social media push
- Rundll has been working on memes for election
- pad for ideas: http://pad.pirateparty.org.au/p/campaigns-poster-slogans
- We need more ideas, good ones
- So people need to help spread them around their own social circles
Video
- hard to get to look professional
- meet the pirates type thing or other ideas
State/Territory reports
QLD
- Dave picking up more flyers & corflutes from Mel Wed afternoon for distribution in his area, which is inner East Brisbane.
- Also dropping some flyers to Miles, who is inner South.
- Both have already placed corflutes in their areas as have I. I'll continue to cover inner north, south and west over Wed & Thurs afternoon.
NSW
- have been focusing on getting flyers to volunteers and have been flyering on the weekend
- next weekend there's another meeting
- Hopefully 'How to Vote' cards will be in by this meeting
- start with a regular meeting, show some new volunteers the usual place
- then hand out flyers and HTVs to volunteers
- start with some flyering beforehand
- Corflutes and flyers have also made it to Wollongong and North Coast with things happening there
- Wollongong Saturday meeting, plan to meet first then do some street campaigning/flyering
- Meet at Hideaway cafe 11:30
- Neewcastle meeting on weekend, final push meeting before election, disseminate flyers etc
- Newcastle have blanketted Maitland, Lake Macquarie and Charlestown with flyers, plan on targeting Hamilton area next
- Wollongong Saturday meeting, plan to meet first then do some street campaigning/flyering
Vic
- Had a meeting on saturday, minutes to come soon
- Mark Street is distributing signs to people able to display them. Could use more volunteers to supply them to.
- Flyering run planned for this weekend
- Saturday morning on Brunswick st
- Saturday afternoon on Ackland st
- Sunday, south east, possibly some shopping centres if allowed. Chadstone etc
- The next big order of flyers havent arrived yet, but Ben suspects courier was missed while retrieving other stuff from P.O.
- We've also resolved to encourage all volunteers to vote during the week before the election, so people are free on the day itself to focus on influencing other peoples' votes
- Currently figuring out which polling places are best to target
- most likely inner city: places like Brunswick, Fitzroy, Melbourne and Richmond. Also Kensington.
- Joe has a spot on Syn FM election day (youth radio network in Melb)
SA
- SA, meeting was called, no-one showed up
- will call an IRC meeting for in a fortnight.
Polling day
- People campaigning on polling day remember water, a hat if its warm, sunscreen... food...
- Rest during quiet times
- Booze only after you have handed out all your flyers
- There is some useful info for volunteers here: https://pirateparty.org.au/wiki/Electioneering
- It would be ideal if volunteers could brush up on policy, platform etc or at least: https://pirateparty.org.au/wiki/Policy_briefs
- Be sure to be nice and courteous
Polling Locations
- NSW spreadhseet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AswFEwjAHtmedEJxYXF1dDBIWUQ1VDFpZFFwbldONkE&usp=sharing for places we are most likely to have volunteers
- Polling places sorted by number of votes cast at that booth
- Makes sense to target places with higher turnout
- also wise to look for booths that are less hard core liberal or are more likely to have friendly voters (ie near the University etc)
- AEC Source materials for polling boot numbers:
