Hi Reddit, in 2019 we ran for election in the three largest cities in Australia: Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane on a platform of copyright reform, privacy and evidence based policy so tonight we'll be answering your questions from 6-9pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. We are:
-
Tania Briese (Victoria): healthcare, aged care, community volunteering, education, and family services. Ställ gärna en fråga på svenska https://pirateparty.org.au/w/images/e/e6/TaniaBriese2018.jpeg
-
John August (New South Wales): sysadmin, hybrid EV owner, secular humanist, radio show host https://pirateparty.org.au/w/images/7/73/JohnAugust.jpg
-
Brandon Selic (Queensland): community lawyer, first nations justice, law reform https://pirateparty.org.au/w/images/8/81/Brandon_Selic.jpg
We have contested Australian elections since 2012 but also advocate for technology, civil rights and digital liberties more broadly. Some of our notable achievements include
-
A 2010 Sydney workshop to assist individuals seeking safe methods of euthanasia to get around Labor's internet firewall, which attempted to block it
-
The broad base Queensland 2013/2014 campaign against the Liberals attempt to outlaw bikie clubs with mixed opposition by Labor.
-
Our 2017 and 2018 panels at PaxAus on copyright in game design
-
Numerous submissions to government inquiries over the years, most notably copyright, privacy and the right to repair.
Feel free to ask us about the recent increase in authoritarianism in Australia, recent legislation, the efforts by Labor and Liberal parties to disqualify minor parties from elections, technology enabled direct democracy, copyright and the right to repair, cryptocurrency, and more!
