[FOSS4G-Oceania] Motion: Increased discount for workshop presenters

[Alex Leith]

I think that workshop presenters already qualify for community rates... if
they can justify it!

We've had this discussion around ticket pricing quite a few times, and I'm
reluctant to alter it. I'm not really against it, and would like to give it
thought with the presenter tickets in the discussion too, but my immediate
reaction is -0.

Cheers,
