    • Hobart TBA
    • Adelaide 1pm at the Wheatsheaf Hotel, George Street, Thebarton (BYO Food to share) (added post-meeting)

Ideas/Brainstorming (pasted from pad)

  • Giant Paper Mache Camera / Whistle
  • BBQ both carnivore and herbivore options (Lamb, Chicken, Falafel, ?; just to be on the safe side for Kosher, Halal, etc.)
  • bring whistles for blowing
  • We need a name that is catchy like #PRISMBREAK but one people understand and don't associate with PRISON instead of PRISM Its like a prison, just global-like, but genpop don't understand that. Works for hashtag I think, but not protest name... yes
  • Huge banners this time, like bed sheet sized with poles to hold them up
    • even actual bed sheets painted on provided they are not skeevy looking.
  • harassing shows like Sunrise that have windows to the public
  • calling into radio stations
  • writing into news papers about it
  • schedule a flash mob of at least 30 people for the traffic lights at george st / park st a half hour before hand, no fancy dancing perhaps concentric circles running around a central "protect our privacy banner" flash mob may be affective in pitt st mall as well maybe flashmob there at 12 and then flashmob george/park at 1230 right before action starts at 1?
  • Sam Kearns is working on some funky music that might fit this well.
  • Fliers at the Ekka (large crowds)
  • Brisbane-a few people walking around making people aware of the protest half hour before?
  • Would highlighting what meta-data is available without a warrant a way of making it easily for more people to understand? No warrant required - to check who has called you;
    • No warrant required - to get your phone's GPS data.
  • Louder PA/ Larger Speaker for Sydney Rally
  • Update Ourprivacy.org.au to reflect the new protest date(s) and any other relevant info.

Speaker List; Equipment

  • Discuss locally
