The Batman campaign strategy

The Batman campaign's top priorities are:
  • to build a highly effective campaign team and an expansion strategy that enables us to build and build and build in Batman without stopping before and after the election.
  • (given our current resource limitations) to identify and work intensively in a small sample of areas within the electorate (focused on polling places where our vote has a chance of being "strong" or in areas where there are energetic local champions) and to engage deeply in those areas - rather than just doing a superficial skim over the whole electorate - deep campaigning will create more impact where it occurs.  We will aim to find some local champions to be the face of the campaign in selected areas that are not covered by the Candidate (these champions can be like unoffical 'candidates' for the local zones of action).
  • to get a first public action draft of a community-based climate emergency action plan done before the election and early enough to campaign around this project.  This will be the major Save the Planet selling point in the electorate - this is how we will have strong influence / establish our bona fides - so we are a bandwagon worth getting on.
  • to engage people who vote Liberal, Labor and Green with separate sub-teams.

The Batman campaign will have the following teams:
- Intense areas program
- Emergency plan program
- Diffuse reach and "reach beyond" (the current intense areas) - mass media, social media etc.
- Election day and admin

Within each area we will (resources permitting) have 5 sequential phases of action:

Phase 1    distribute a campaign team recruitment leaflet in the chosen intense areas
Phase 2    distribute an emergency plan leaflet to get people involved in preparing the plan
Phase 3    distribute a leaflet to promote our Save the Planet policies
Phase 4    distribute material to target Liberal, Labor and Green voters separately
Phase 5    Highlighting a vote 1 for "Philip Sutton" on 7 September


Please contact the Batman campaign team if you would like to help with any of this:
