AUSTRALIA’S most engaging politician on Facebook, Treasurer Wayne Swan, now has an app.
Locals in his marginal Brisbane seat of Lilley can use the smartphone application to alert Mr Swan to issues that need fixing.
The ‘Fix-o-Gram’ function allows people to send pictures of potholes, traffic jams or any other local problems to the deputy prime minister to follow up.
Mr Swan, who was last year found to be “the most engaging politician” on Facebook by website brandtemper.com, says he’s moving with the times.
“If you had an issue you wanted your federal MP to help out on 20 years ago, you’d write a letter or set up an appointment,” he said in a statement on Tuesday.
“The great thing about this new app is that accessing assistance from my office will now be in the pockets of local constituents 24/7.”
Coalition MPs Malcolm Turnbull and Andrew Laming also have apps.
