INTERVIEW – SHARNELLE VELLA; Ch 7 State Political Reporter
- Her path to her role now
- Told some great stories about jobs she had while putting in the hours to chase her dream
- One job was to carry a journalists handbag while the journalist did interviews!
- Her parents still watch every night – and they time it!
- She gave us an exclusive – told us the story about when Mal Brown sprayed her! She was rapt to get the lead story!
- She was involved with the stake outs at James Hird’s house – they were there so often that they knew the neighbours’ movements
- There was a day when she got a good 3 minute chat out of Hird … One of the only times he spoke properly… And the cameraman didn’t hit record!
- They were at Hird’s house so often than a cameraman used to water his front lawn
- It was respectful between Hird and the reporters – Hird understood it but it was uncomfortable for everyone
- She has snuck victims out of courts to avoid media before
- We don’t have an opposition government in this town! They are just not unified – that’s the crux of the problem. There’s one team out on the field playing the game, the opposition is still in the rooms planning
- Why she loves politics and reporting on it
- On Dan Andrews – could get up in front of crowds and present without flinching, he’s an incredible political figure, he was ruthless and cut throat
- The way the state has been left, in some ways, is shameful
