<p>National Congress 2021 — You’re invited!</p>
<p>G’day Pirates,</p>
<p>I hereby invite you to the 2021 Pirate Party Annual National Congress!</p>
<p>The National Congress is an opportunity for members to propose and debate new policies and constitutional amendments, hear nominations for Party Officials, and meet Pirates from around Australia.</p>
<p>It is held annually and is the paramount decision making body of Pirate Party Australia.</p>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> Saturday 31st July and Sunday 1st August.</p>
<p>Last year we held Congress entirely online and it went so well we decided to do it again! Attend from anywhere by video call and text chat.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/national-congress-2021-tickets-157949379847"><strong>Book your ticket today!</strong></a></p>
<p>Watch parties and Friday night meetups are a distinct possibility! If you’d like to meet up with your local pirates, drop me an email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#790a1c1a0b1c0d180b003909100b180d1c09180b0d0057160b1e57180c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ea998f89988f9e8b9893aa9a83988b9e8f9a8b989e93c485988dc48b9fc4">[email protected]</span></a> With any luck, I’ll be able to put you and a mate or two in touch! Better yet, <a href="https://discuss.pirateparty.org.au/c/local-crews/21">make a post on the forums</a> for more visibility.</p>
<p><strong>I urge everyone – this means <em>you</em> – to consider running for National Council. This year, we’ve had only six out of nine positions filled.</strong> That’s not sustainable, so please step up and help out! As always – we’re a party for everyone and we want people from all walks of life in our leadership team.</p>
<p>Details of the National Congress, including the agenda, new policies, nominations, constitutional amendments and details on how to participate online will be available on the Wiki: <a href="https://pirateparty.org.au/wiki/Pirate_Congress_2021">https://pirateparty.org.au/wiki/Pirate_Congress_2021</a></p>
<p>The National Congress is followed by a seven day voting period, which is open to all members. All members will be emailed ballot information at the opening of this voting period.</p>
<p>There are a number of dates and deadlines and procedures to follow if you wish to submit items to the National Congress or declare candidacy for positions.</p>

<p>Hi Pirates (and friends!),</p>
<p>It is with regret that we announce we have decided to voluntarily deregister with the Australian Electoral Commission as a result of too few formal members. While this is unfortunate, we do believe it will be a temporary setback: read on!</p>
<p>Our party needs 500 members to maintain registration, and our procedures are such that people need to renew their membership yearly. Last year, we had under 300 members, and we on the National Council initiated a phoning campaign — perhaps you’ve had us call you. Some time later, we’ve made it up past 400 members — a positive trend.<br />
Nevertheless, we were unable to get to 500 members by the AEC’s deadline.</p>
<p>So, if you’ve not renewed — please do. Make sure your voter enrolment details are up to date and match our contact details for you, so we can re-register easily.</p>
<p>We’ll continue to try to lift our numbers, but you can do your part too: invite a friend!</p>
<p>We’ve started doing live-streams on a number of topics, and continue to maintain a presence on social media, make submissions and put out press releases. Regardless of our party status, it is something we will continue to do.</p>
<p>At present, there’s a lot more energy around issues of digital rights, privacy, surveillance capitalism, the right to repair, and ethics in foreign policy & our own national governance. The Pirate Party continues to have relevance in today’s world, and we will continue to pursue Pirate Party issues.</p>
<p>Let’s all be a part of that journey!</p>
<p><strong>The National Council</strong><br />
Pirate Party Australia</p>
<p><em>P.S. National Council currently has two vacancies — Deputy Secretary and Deputy Treasurer…</em></p>

<p>Pirate Party Australia recently made a submission to the Productivity Commission’s “Right to Repair” inquiry.[1] While giving the Productivity Commission credit for their approach, we worry it will end up an ineffective PR exercise, given the Government’s record and existing treaties and legislation obstacles to the “Right to Repair”.</p>
<p>Abuse of Intellectual Property is rightly increasing in prominence. “Repair Cafes” and other initiatives are opening up throughout Australia. The fact the Government is showing an interest is a positive, in its way. Nevertheless, the treaties the Government is a signatory to, such as the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement 2011 and laws such as the Copyright Act 1968 are opposed to the recognition of a right-to-repair. Sadly, the inquiry may end up as lip service, while the Productivity Commission has made a genuine attempt to engage with the issues. In addition, in the past both parties in Government have been very selective in implementing Productivity Commission recommendations – and we wouldn’t be surprised to see it again.</p>
<p>We suspect the Government will continue to allow big business to abuse its position and make little substantial progress on the “Right to Repair”.</p>

<p>This week is Love Data Week, which is all about celebrating the analysis, sharing, reuse and preservation of data. </p>
<p>“This is a topic near and dear to the Pirate Party’s heart,” said Miles Whiticker, President of Pirate Party Australia. “Information may well want to be free, but it’s human effort that makes it so. We salute archivists, librarians, and researchers everywhere — their tireless efforts ensure knowledge gets out of the filing cabinet and into the public consciousness.” </p>
<p>The Pirate Party has a core policy goal of ensuring that knowledge can remain free. Its legislative proposals include copyright exemptions for libraries, archives, public education and access for people with disabilities. If in government, it would require Open Access provisions for all publicly-financed scientific and academic research. </p>

<p>In November last year, Burma<sup>1</sup> held its second democratic election since the military coup d’etat in 1962[2]. Unfortunately history repeated itself on the 1st of February as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces Min Aung Hlaing initiated a new coup d’etat, claiming that the elections were “fraudulent” and arresting the long time democracy activist and State Counselor (equivalent to a Prime Minister) Aung San Suu Kyi as well as President President Win Myint along with other ministers and their deputies, who were due to be sworn in the next day.[3]</p>
<p>Pirate Party Australia reached out to democracy activist John* from Yamethin in the Mandalay region, who told us “The military has performed coup d’etat in our country and detained the state counselor. Protesters and people who are participating civil disobedience are now in serious threats of being violently destroyed. We welcome your support and want to request you to help support our funds if we found one.”</p>
<p>Regarding Aung San Suu Kyi, they had this to say: “She’d approved of [the Rohingyan genocide] and we are enraged by it. She stayed silent to what awful things military did to the ethnic and religious minorities. People are on her side and we (me and other leftists) critiqued her. But we simply don’t see any reason our revolution will succeed if she were not to participate. So we are in solidarity with both her supporters and people who don’t support her because our common enemy for now is the military.”</p>
