Lunchbox / Soapbox: Grabbing the Limelight

Despite all the corporate weasel words about leadership, during the election campaign we were glued to our tellies longing for a glimpse of a fully-fledged leader in action. Did either party deliver? What is a leader? What are we hoping for?

Hannie Rayson argues that both Tony and Julia could learn from the theatre, if only to improve their leadership styles.

“Those who try to lead the people can only do so by following the mob.” Oscar Wilde on the 2010 Australian election.

Lunchbox/Soapbox is a simple idea; an old-fashioned Speakers’ Corner in the middle of the city, in the middle of the day. A weekly piece of polemic for lunching folk to chew on. BYO lunch.
