\"Dennis-Jensen\"<\/p>\n

24 July 2013<\/p>\n

Scene-setter:\u00a0Welcome to Tangney Country<\/a><\/p>\n

I have spent the last couple of weeks trying to contact candidates for the Federal seat of Tangney. I spent a lot of time googling or calling state offices to find out who these people even were.<\/p>\n

Of course I didn\u2019t bother with the local member, who is very easy to contact and google online. I have left contacting Dennis Jensen till last for another reason too. I felt I needed to practice my citizen journalism skills on the mainly new candidates before taking on the big guns.<\/p>\n

My first stop was the\u00a0AEC website, which listed all except the Greens candidate.
\nI checked the Greens website but all I got for Tangney was \u201ccome back soon\u201d. So I called Senator Ludlum\u2019s office and was given the number of their media coordinator, who I called twice with no reply. I also emailed Tangney Greens email but it kept bouncing back. Finally I found a generic email and had a quick response back from the candidate and a lovely interview which will be forwarded soon.<\/p>\n

I emailed the direct email address for the Australian Christian candidate John Wieske from the Australian Christina website. I received an email from the media relations manager with a request for questions in writing which I have forwarded.<\/p>\n

The Palmer Untied Party candidate Wayne Driver contacted me by email after I sourced his direct email address from the party website. He then called me and we have arranged to meet up this Friday.<\/p>\n

Contacting the Labor candidate Luke Willis has been a bit harder. There are no contact details for him anywhere, so I have had to go through WA Labor then try other sitting members to try to contact him. In the end I sent an email which has been finally answered, with some caution. He wants to speak to with his campaign director first.<\/p>\n

I then decided it was time to call Dennis Jensen\u2019s office and spoke to a very helpful man who strangely recognised my name before I told him why I was calling. I first booked into some of Dr Jensen\u2019s meet and greet sessions. When I told him I wanted to interview Dr Jensen he realised who I was and told me they had both read my No Fibs article and thought it was very good. So now my confidence is high and I am looking forward to reporting on what each candidate has to say.<\/p>\n
