Recently Australian senator and Greens Leader, Bob Brown, appeared on ABC TV's Q&A program.
For almost an hour he took questions from the audience in the studio and from people on the net.
Brown, who will soon leave politics, spoke with conviction, clarity and force. No one watching would have any doubt where he stood on the key issues facing Australia.
Gone were the usual evasive, qualified and hedged comments which are now so common in public discourse. It was eloquent, straight from the shoulder stuff.
You may or may not like Bob Brown's policies, but you must admire the clear and consistent way he has communicated over his political career, irrespective of who he was talking with.
Good luck in retirement Senator. Perhaps you should become the PR professor at the University of Tasmania and pass along your skills to the coming generation of young PRs and communicators.
