• Motion 2: In accordance with section 33 of the Associations Incorporation Act 1991 the Association alters its rules to include online participation and voting at meetings, including the Council Meeting, Annual General Meetings, and General Meetings.

The motions to change the Constitution were both passed in favor of the changes. A new Constitution will be made available within 30 days of the passing of the motions.
