Former federal MP Dennis Jensen has been awarded a $325,000 payout after winning his defamation lawsuit against an Australian media organisation.

Dr Jensen sued News Corp's publishing arm Nationwide News and journalist Andrew Burrell over two articles published in The Australian days before he lost a 2016 Liberal pre-selection contest for his West Australian seat of Tangney.

In the Supreme Court of WA on Friday, Chief Justice Peter Quinlan found in favour of Dr Jensen and awarded damages in relation to the second article, as well as an online version of the article and a Twitter post by Mr Burrell.

The first article in The Australian centred on a fiction novel Dr Jensen wrote about a crazed Indonesian dictator who started war with Australia that included at least one steamy sex scene.
