Minutes

Previous meeting's minutes

  • By-laws were not completed due to lack of time
  • All the banking-related action items were done.
  • Minor correction to remove implied consensus about "mirroring Greens"
  • Vote delayed due to lack of NC members.
  • See motions

Banking update

  • The documents and application are lodged.
  • There's a few steps involved since we've asked for linked accounts with multiple signatories in different cities and a customised netbanking package and non-profit fee waiver.
  • Should take a week or two to process everything.
  • Designated signatories will need to take two forms of ID to their local ANZ branch and sign off on a form.
  • Signatories need to provide date of birth to Mark and advise him which ANZ branch is most convenient.
    • If this is done tonight, the application process can move another step tomorrow.
  • We will need to deposit $500 to open the accounts; Mark can deposit this and claim reimbursement.
    • No issues with this proposal.
  • See motions

March in March

  • Broad-based protest against Abbott Government reforms.
  • A couple of members have asked what we are doing and if we support it.
  • Perhaps promote it a little on social media and mention it in an announcement or general discussion.
  • It would be good to organise contingents and possibly flyer on the day, although it will depend on how many people we have attending.
  • Doesn't hurt to have a general disagreement festival every now and then.
  • Aims to be family-friendly.

General business

  • Brendan sending out an email to Queensland members asking for volunteers for the Griffith by-election.
  • Need to authorise money to produce corflutes for the election.
    • $1,100 for 100 corflute signs.
    • These are reusable, we're not spending $1,100 on a one-off campaign.
    • High quality stickers of candidates can be placed over the picture for every House of Reps election.
    • Order can be placed tomorrow, assuming a photo is provided for the design.
    • See motions
  • Mozart will be in Adelaide from Thursday next week to the following Tuesday.
    • Will have laptop and Internet access, but might be busy at various times.
    • Call if urgent, but it shouldn't make a huge difference to availability.
  • Brendan flying to Queensland next Tuesday, returning Sunday.
    • Putting up signs, etc.
