He was elected to the House of Representatives at the 2004 federal election, winning the Division of Tangney for the Liberal Party. Jensen lost Liberal preselection for the 2016 federal election, and subsequently resigned from the party to stand as an independent.[2] In August 2017 he joined the fledgling Australian Conservatives party.[3] Jensen has a PhD in materials science from Monash University, and before entering politics worked as a CSIRO researcher. He is known for questioning the anthropogenic causation of climate change.[3] Early lifeJensen was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. He was educated at RMIT University, the University of Melbourne and Monash University, from where he has a PhD in materials science. He worked at the CSIRO as a research scientist and for the Department of Defence as a defence analyst before entering politics.[4] PoliticsJensen was the Liberal candidate for the Division of Corio, Victoria at the 1998 election. In 2006, Jensen lost his preselection for Tangney for the 2007 federal election, but won it back with the support of the state executive and prime minister John Howard. He lost preselection again for the 2010 election, but once again the state executive intervened and restored him as Liberal candidate. {{citation needed|date=May 2014}} Dr Jensen is a sceptic concerning human-induced global warming and, on behalf of the Lavoisier Group, organised the release of a book[5] entitled Nine Facts About Climate Change by former mining CEO Ray Evans. In February 2007 during a Parliamentary sitting, Jensen quoted the then IPCC vice chairman Yuri Izrael, who had stated that "there is no proven link between human activity and global warming".[6] His reputation as a sceptic on anthropogenic causation of global warming became national when he and four government colleagues disagreed with others of their party in a dissenting committee report regarding climate change.[7][8] Jensen boycotted Parliament on the day that the formal apology to the Stolen Generations was made by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.[9] He further courted controversy by telling Australian Indigenous people claiming to be affected by European colonisation over 200 years ago to "get over it."[10] He was one of six Liberal MPs (including fellow West Australian MPs Wilson Tuckey, Luke Simpkins and the late Don Randall as well as Peter Dutton, Sophie Mirabella and the late Alby Schultz) to leave the house (or boycott entirely) in protest to the apology to the Stolen Generations. He is opposed to same-sex marriage in Australia.[11] Lost Liberal pre-selectionJensen lost Liberal preselection in Tangney for the 2016 federal election. It was revealed he had written an unpublished book that was claimed to include graphic sex scenes, titled "The Skywarriors". Jensen labelled it "dirty tricks" and an "absolute smear campaign". Former party state director Ben Morton won preselection.[2] In August 2017, Jensen sent an email to former Liberal colleagues, saying he had joined the Australian Conservatives party started by Cory Bernardi, and urging them to follow him.[12] References1. ^{{cite news|last1=Wahlquist|first1=Calla|title=Dennis Jensen to run as an independent and says 'branch stackers should be jailed'|url=https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/may/09/dennis-jensen-to-run-as-independent|accessdate=11 August 2017|work=The Guardian|date=9 May 2016}} 2. ^1 Dennis Jensen, West Australian MP, blames 'dirty tricks' after being dumped by Liberal preselectors: ABC 3 April 2016 3. ^WA Today, Jensen uses Hitler to deny climate change, Fairfax Media, 25 February 2009, retrieved 18 April 2013 4. ^http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/dennis-jensen-41384.html 5. ^{{cite web|first=Denis|last=Peters|url=http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21303658-1702,00.html|title=Climate change "a campaign of alarmism"'|publisher=news.com.au|date=28 February 2007|accessdate=13 December 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070302232130/http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21303658-1702,00.html|archivedate=2 March 2007|deadurl=yes|df=dmy-all}} 6. ^Dr Dennis Jensen, The mysterious disappearing hockey stick {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930095625/http://www.dennisjensen.com.au/news/default.asp?action=article&ID=231&Archived=true&Archived=true&Archived=true |date=30 September 2007 }}, retrieved September 2007 7. ^House Standing Committee on Science and Innovation, Between a Rock and a Hard Place the science of geosequestration, August 2007, retrieved September 2007 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070829225512/http://www.aph.gov.au/house/committee/scin/geosequestration/report.htm |date=29 August 2007 }} 8. ^ABC News, Report shows Coalition divided over climate change, 13 August 2007, retrieved September 2007 9. ^The Australian, , retrieved February 2008 10. ^Sydney Morning Herald, Tweet and sour: MP in spat with Aboriginal woman on colonialism, Fairfax Media, retrieved 18 April 2013 11. ^http://www.australianmarriageequality.org/whereyourmpstands/electorates/Tangney/ 12. ^1 {{cite news|title=Ex-Liberal MP Jensen defects to Bernardi’s new party|url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/exliberal-mp-jensen-defects-to-bernardis-new-party/news-story/fae67daf09aa883a0b79e38c1672417e|accessdate=11 August 2017|work=The Australian|date=11 August 2017}} External links{{OpenAustralia}}{{s-start}}{{s-par|au}}{{s-bef|before=Daryl Williams}}{{s-ttl|title=Member for Tangney|years=2004–2016}}{{s-aft|after=Ben Morton}}{{s-end}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Jensen, Dennis}} 18 : 1962 births|Air traffic controllers|Alumni of Pretoria Boys High School|Australian engineers|Independent members of the Parliament of Australia|Liberal Party of Australia members of the Parliament of Australia|Living people|Members of the Australian House of Representatives|Members of the Australian House of Representatives for Tangney|Monash University alumni|People from Johannesburg|RMIT University alumni|South African emigrants to Australia|People who lost South African citizenship|Naturalised citizens of Australia|University of Melbourne alumni|21st-century Australian politicians|Australian Conservatives members |
