After much deep thinking, I spent some time pondering which turned into consideration. Then I took turns at contemplation and speculation. I spied counter-arguments and even logic based oucomes. Upon second glance there appears to be some divisions and factioning; but within those there’s content there to be regarded. I looked at arguments based upon evidence and arguments based upon social norms and models.
Well then my thoughts turned to bias; which I’m sorry to say did not pique my interest so I ceased that projection immediately. I uncovered sources of wide postulation and even some humourous tidbits, but again did not hold weight enough to turn my thoughts thus. It was pleasant to see a variety of brainstormed ideas, even with some outrageous twists. And let’s not forget the debate over statistics, demographics and histrionics before avoiding setting any conclusion in concrete or drawing a line in the sand.
So in the end, at the turning of the tide, like sand through the hourglass, from dusk til dawn,day to nights, week in week out, turning into months et al, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and the yellow brick road, when the curtain falls and so on and so forth…have we really taken red pill or the blue?
Please please please @Frew collate and vote…

I’m not sure if you were making a point about the pointlessness of this conversation, or were trying to sound deep.
Either way I strongly oppose the change of the name

No, this discussion wasn’t pointless (it’s been a simmering issue), nor was I trying to be deep; I was trying to be facetious. My point was that a debate/discussion has a shelf life before it needs to be actioned or archived. I think this discussion has long since passed that point.

We have had this thing called an election to deal with. I am too buggered to do anything significant for a few days at least, and then there are processes that need to happen. See:
There also needs to be explanatory email written and the voting system set up.

How about just Winners
Can we be the “Common Wealth” party?
or I like “The Common Good Party”.
I think is reflects what we stand for. We stand for the common good of all Australians.
and it’s got “Good” right there in the name.
How bad could it be?

Awesome, however i have a sad feeling that the “Common Wealth” party won’t be acceptable (at least from what I was reading in regards to party name registration in WA)
“The Common Good Party” is however equally great, put that up and I vote for it 
@Frew was talking about the origins of pirates, ie the enclosure movement , loss of the commons ,it makes sense. Admitly the “Common Wealth” would be more sensible and poignat.

Progressive Commons of Australia !
Im sorry but none of these ideas reach me at all. I am totally 100% in favour of retaining the name Pirate Party in line with our international comrades

I am new to the Pirate Party, having been brought on board by the name. But I quite like the sound of the Open Party of Australia, or OPAu for short.
Gives me images of a party free from corruption or people using it for personal gain.

How about Free & Open Party?
Australian Copyright Reform Party?
I know that makes us a single issue party, but it’s the core of what we are here about and easy for others to understand.
Public Domain Party?
Again, speaks to a core issue, while having a little more breadth of possibility.
What about the people’s party?
To me, Transparency, Liberty and Digital Reform Party sounds like one of the best suggestions so far.
