Candidates endorsed!
Hi Pirates -
Now that the voting period of preselection has concluded, I’m delighted to announce that the Party has endorsed candidates in preparation for the next Federal election!
-
In New South Wales, for the Senate ticket we have endorsed @SaraJoyce and @Kate_Bowman . For the House of Representatives, in Bennelong we have endorsed @JohnAugust and in Robertson, @Cizin .
-
In Victoria, for the Senate ticket we have endorsed @Tania and @Shannon_Smith .
-
In Queensland, for the Senate ticket we have endorsed @Brandon and @miles_w .
-
In Western Australia, for the Senate ticket we have endorsed @Clive_Myers . Two candidates are required for a Senate ticket, so we’ll either need to preselect a second candidate, or team up with another party and run a joint ticket.

If you live in South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT or the NT, the National Council has not ruled out running in your state/territory – it’s just that nobody nominated for preselection there. If you’d like to change that, please let us know.
Election Committee
To support our candidates and to provide detailed direction and oversight of the forthcoming general election campaign, the Election Committee has been reconvened.
The first meeting of this committee is scheduled for Sunday October 7th, 5PM AEDT (Sydney time). It will be held on PirateIRC in the #ppau channel.
Any member may join, and we invite all of you to do so! If you’ve ever helped run an election campaign before, your experience will be particularly valued.
Organisational updates
On an administrative note, we’re pleased to announce that Joe Furi has also stepped up and joined the National Council, as Deputy Treasurer.
How you can get involved
We still have one National Council vacancy remaining, for Deputy Secretary.
We also have vacancies for the positions of Policy Development Officer and Press Officer.
If you’re a writer or a designer, your talents will be valued in the Press Team or in the Pirate Bureau.
As always, I invite you to stick around this forum, to give your input on current events, interesting articles, and much more.
Kind Regards,
Alex Jago
Secretary
Pirate Party Australia
