Saturday, September 13th, 2PM at Victoria Square

Things to discuss:
- route
i thought Rundle St was a bit narrow for us and Rymill Park a bit quiet considering the weather… perhaps we could go str8 down King William (skip the CoS), Rundle Mall (slooooowly), then loop back to the CoS by going down Pulteney and back to the CoS via Grenfell St? It has also been suggested that we split into two groups to go down both sides of the street and cover moar ground. there were loads of ppl on the opposite side of Rundle St with 'lolwut?' expressions who didn't get handouts

- invites
i haz done an invite: 1/4 page (book inserts/letterbox drops), a4 (poster/email) or a4 with pull-offs on the bottom (poster)
if we can get this to a point where we're 100% happy with it, i will make a word, photoshop & pdf template we can use for every raid

- flyers IMHO we need a VERY simply flyer outlining our core beefs
perhaps just the points we've previously clarified in the petition? ie We want:
1) Govt inquiry into 'fair game' and 'disconnection' policy damage in australia
2) revoke tax-exemption status which should be exclusively for not-for-proft CHARITIES not for-profit business ventures that exploit loopholes to pay staff in a foregin country
3) alter the high court's definition of 'religion' to include protection of rights for ppl in the religion and ??
^ needs work, please halp

- mass mask buy
raid after raid, ppl r registering interest in buying a gf mask, then no1 gets it together to order them! is there any1 who wants to take the lead on this?? ie buy them nao! Alternatively, could we use the donation thing on the front page, to all contribute funds towards the masks (whoever wants to buy 1), then do the mass buy? ie if u want a mask, donate $15 up front, then when we get enough moolah, do the order? $15 a mask seems to be the going rate.

- photos
without these, it DID NOT happen! with only 2 hands, its hard coordinating flyer handouts, a sign, a stereo, a bag AND a camera - perhaps we could coordinate a bit better? ie nominate yrself a camera person/a flyer person/a sign person. then ppl can decide what to bring, based on this. ie there's only 1 sign bearer, i gues i'll bring a sign instead of a stack of flyers OR there's 5 ppl taking photos, i'll leave my camera home and bring some flyers instead? would be gr8 if we could 'pose' for a few moar photos too. esp at iconic spots like the malls balls, entry to the mall, in front of the CoS etc - photos do all the work once the raid is over. in fact, we could always do with slooooowing down in general. anytime some1 stops to ask me something, i gotta rush off to catch up to the main group.

- mini-raids
yes, its totally legal for small groups to mask up and wander the streets handing out flyers and generally enturbulating the city at large. hit the irc, or use PMs to organise yrself with other anons. this is easily the best way to promote numbers to the next raid.

tl dr; decide on a route, develop a new flyer, consider nominating yrself a role (ie flyers, signs, cmaera etc), order masks, organise mini-raids, NAO!!

note: Have directed enturb planning thread to here, to keep it all in one place

Narrow streets like Rundle St would do really well in having a group on each side walking down. Larger ones like King William, Pultney, the Mall, etc, there's no real need to split up.

I still think ending at Rymill Park would be excellent on raid days that fall on big local events, like the Indy500, that sort of thing. The potential audience to reach down there would be epic. Ending up there during things like the Fringe or the Arts Festival, all really good times to finish down at Rymill Pk.

But we can't forget our good and dear friends at Waymouth St, we'll have to pop by and say hello at some point. We wouldn't want them to forget about us, that would be just dreadful!

@engram - u might be lucky with the last mask mate

1 thing we can all agree on: the mall is where anonymous has the most impact, so…
- head str8 down KW St
- head down the Mall
- split onto either side of the road for Rundle St
- stay in Rymill Park as long as appropriate
- return via the same route, to the CoS ?

this gives us double the exposure in the mall, the option of enturbulating Rymill Park (if appropriate) and the CoS don't get left out - whatcha think?

StreetView LINX for newbies:
Where to meet (North-West Corner of Victoria Square)
Halfway point (the Rymill Park rendezvous)
Where to finish (our friends at the CoS)

+ are we all keen to stick with Tax the Bastards as the theme for now?

@ Engram: Hmmm. ok, fair call. I'm personally just in favor of spending a greater fraction of time where we get more exposure.  Given the weather, I must concede perhaps Rymill as a finisher isn't the best at the moment

Also.. if we are going to go down rundle st and back, perhaps do one side at a time…?

Also, can you put us down for a 5-10 minute photo opp at the malls balls on the first pass. Also to let the public take their happy snaps, and ask us why we where masks etc..

P.S. I dont think we should stop by cos twice (it'd just be annoying to the police, and given the fake stink bomb thingy I think its in OUR interests to have the police there whenever were there so Co$ can't pull stunts like that again =)

Sep13 is the final day of the Royal Show*. It would be gr8 to have some shiny black Anon showbags we could hand out at our protest; whatcha think?

I've put ten to fifteen seconds of thought into what could go in the bags…
- An info disk (the Gold Info pack disk from the hivemind + media from TaxTheBastards-gate)
- A movie disk (plenty to choose from)
- Tri-fold brochure, with general info
- Generic invite, to protest with us (event ticket for sep13, if given out b4 sep13)
- A “Dianetics Dollar” with brief tax info
- DIY Guy Fawkes mask (ie cut around dotted lines, add elastic)
- Sheet of Anon stickers

Not sure I'll have the time/resources to put them together, but thought I'd get the idea out there. My printer is on the fritz, but I could burn the disks if someone could source the bags? What does anonymous think?

*lots of ppl will be exposed to the graffiti murals at Goodwood train station too. you know, the 'No Drugs Ambassadors'/Scilon Child Recruitment Tactics? ideas should be developed to how we can best leverage this to our advantage. perhaps mini-raids at Goody train station to give out 'tickets' to the protest and 'showbags' ? the timing is perfect and there is real concrete proof under their noses (the murals) of Scientology's insidious tactics to recruit children into their cult.

tl dr; the show is on during our next protest; wanna make 'anon showbags'? wanna mini-raid Goody train station during the show?

i don't expect ppl to actually wear those DIY guy fawkes masks, but its a gesture that suggests 'u can play too' or 'get involved' - showbag would just need a few gimmicky things like this, nothing too over the top. the idea is that ppl might accept/appreciate a showbag, whereas a 1/4 page flyer might be rejected. just an idea.

i made some of those red 'my name is _____' and 'my name is Anonymous' name tags if u want.

search the enturb forums, u should find them :)

printing the Anon logo onto sticker material ought to suffice, even if its only small (even onto paper will get the job done)

if any1 can hunt down the bags…
i am prepared to burn all the disks and already have 5 colour print outs of the guy fawkes masks

that just leaves us with some1 to print the rest of the stuff? any1 keen?

Personally, i feel being directly at the royal show is a bad idea for the following reasons:

1) kids are there, they wont know what its about

1a) kids might get scared?I don't know

2) It might seem like we are 'protesting' so to speak, in an inappropriate location.

3) People go their for fun, not for 'political' reasons, that i know of.

4) There will be thousands of people there, and obviously some will be scilons there too

4a) That many people that are there, it might turn against us, ie haters and general assholes which may backfire and give us a bad name etc.

5) would you need a license of some sort since you are advertising on the grounds, if you know what i mean?

Personally, i think its just to risky to advertise at that sort of event. I wouldn't help out at that location, but feel free to go yourself, just my two cents.

yeah thats cool, thats what i was trying to explain lol, inside the grounds or like near the entrance seems to close, like they have to be near by and listen to us ramble about xenu all day, even if they dont want to.

“FREE ADULT SHOWBAG” although that may get the pervs looking into it. “FREE 16+ SHOWBAG” I think 16 is a fair age to get politically active. we've had 15 yearolds on this forum for one. +one year for safety.

When i meant kids, i meant like the ones under 10, there are a suprising amount of kids at the show; not that its a bad thing, im just saying there is a large amount of people there that may be the wrong audiance.

We deal with this every single protest. if you wave, and say 'hello' they're mostly fine. if not, they would have been scared anyway.

Yeah i agree with that

I'm pretty sure I've seen PETA do it and other organisations when i've gone to the show or the BDO. although that's perhaps not the best example, you get what I mean.

Yeah i know what your getting at, but would you say our views are somewhat controversial to people?

same argument applies to the mall: - people go shopping for buying stuff, consumerist reasons, not for 'political reasons'.

I find the mall to be different since it is quite common for people to protest and set up areas of interest there, im yet to see, well, notice this sort of thing at the show as of yet.

that's why it's a good idea. exposure, if anything people will see 'weirdos in masks' and a sign 'Anonymous' which isn't exactly a bad idea to get into peoples heads.

Yeah i agree.

If it all goes pear shaped and we get assholes hassling us and they're NOT scilons (eg, drunk idiots or general douchebaggery) what do you do? pack up and leave. but i doubt it would get that bad. I think late morning around 11am - 1pm would be a good time, we want to do it as people arrive.

also how to do people being idiots to us give us a bad name?

Like for example, some guy starts yelling out shit like “fuck off no-one wants to…. etc”

And if you saw that, like some guy yelling at a bunch of guys with masks, what is the first thing you would think? What is wrong with the guys in masks or why is the guy angry?

I know this sort of stuff happens each and every time you protest in the city, im just saying to me it feels like different circumstances.

I wouldn't know, but…

Have you ever been to a rock concert? do you think those tshirts you see out the front for $10 cheaper than the tshirts inside are 'official' merchandise? In case you're not following, they're not. I figure we're doing the same thing, except we're not charging. I don't think they would have a licence. so, Not INSIDE the grounds, OUTSIDE the grounds, eg somewhere BY THE FOOTPATH OUTSIDE.

I've been to plenty of rock concerts but never seen any of those cheap t-shirts, but i wish i did cause i paid $40 for my last onelol . Also, their presence is also promoting the bands in whatever way. as well as being in relation to the grounds they are set up at.

the worst that could happen? some officials come out and tell us to get lost. in which, we then get lost.

Yeah i agree completely; im not trying to be all negative or anti-lulz; im merely trying to show any possible obstacles that could need to be overcome, or thought of ahead of time.
