I think that given what I know about your history - doing media advice, journalism of various kinds etc. - the MEAA may be happy to have you as a freelance member (I'm pretty sure there's a discounted rate for Freelances). I don't think they haver a citizen journalist rate, but having their ID card is usually enough to get you into Press conferences etc. You can find the membership form <a href="https://www.alliance.org.au/join.htm rel="nofollow">here</a>. But you might be better off contacting your branch - <a href="https://www.alliance.org.au/contacts/wa_branch/ rel="nofollow"> here's</a> the online contact form for the WA Branch. Hi Kevin.

When the WA Community Cabinet came to Broome? I had considerable difficulty getting some sort of accreditation from the Premier's department to get basic info about who, what, when.
