Denis is the Vice President of Voices For Indi, a community based rural organization in the Australian Federal electorate of Indi. Since 2012 Voices For Indi has been promoting greater participation and engagement in the democratic process. This successful strategy has led to the election of a new independent federal representative in the federal 2013 election. The independent federal member demonstrates commitment to stronger communication with the voter, and engagement with community issues. Denis has always lived and worked in rural regions of Australia and is committed to ensuring that all rural people have a voice - which gets heard! He lives on a small farm at Yackandandah in the beautiful North east region in the state of Victoria. He says you must come to the Yackandandah Folk Festival which is held in March each year!
