South Australian Branch of the Pirate Party Australia

The South Australian branch of the Pirate Party Australia is pleased to announce that the membership for SA membership will be waived until further notice.

If you haven't registered already, you can download the form from http://sa.pirateparty.org.au/join and write WAIVED over the membership fee, and fax or email it to us.

Background

With the assistance of founding members the Pirate Party will be one step closer to providing South Australians with the option to vote "Pirate" in the upcoming Federal election, and future State elections. The Pirate Party fights for a fairer and more balanced copyright; encourage innovation and access to culture, information and knowledge, greater government transparency and the protection of our civil liberties. South Australia is a key state for Pirate Party policy regarding censorship, especially the lack of an R18+ video game rating and the recently passed legislation banning the promotion of R18+ movies. The state was also the first to introduce unjust anti-association laws.

Contribute and Promote

If you are not a member of the Pirate Party Australia, join now! All members that reside in South Australia will automatically become a member of the South Australian branch.

Our next official council meeting will be held on Thursday 4th March, but will not be open to the public. A preliminary agenda is viewable here
