Portal:Australia/Sydney politicians

Politicians! They love to get their head on camera and their comments in the news. They employ people whose sole job is to give comments to the media (who do you think is doing the talking when a newspaper reports that "A spokesman for the Prime Minister said that"... ? It's just the dude who answers the phone when someone rings up. And you don't need to pretend that you work for a big newspaper - they're trying to get their side out, so they talk to anyone.

All the phone numbers you could ever want - just ring 'em up and ask a question. They'll probably put you through to a press room or something, but it's quicker than trawling through articles or trying to find media releases.
