some wide media coverage, see this link, especially regarding his challenge to fellow candidates

- October 18th will see the ACT
go to the Polls. The Australian Democrats are off and running with candidates
in three electorates under the Keep the Bastards Honest banner.
In what may be a world-first in political campaigning, ACT Dems candidate
Greg Tannahill is involved this week in a unique gaming challenge in an exercise
in virtual government administration. Greg himself is a keen gamer and is an
enthusiastic advocate for this to gain appropriate government recognition.
