Testimonials for The Hon. Lindsay Tanner

Exceptional speaker & open to take any questions.  His presentation had everyone engaged and interested.  Excellent in the lead up in organising and delightful to deal with.
ISPT

Lindsay Tanner has spoken at a number of our events over many years, including intimate boardroom lunches, gala dinners and industry conferences. He has always been stimulating, frank and entertaining, and invariably delivers genuine value.  Unlike some in the political world, Lindsay tailors his comments to suit the particular audience and avoids undue partisanship.  He speaks in a way that makes politics both exciting for the assembled professionals and yet accessible to the rest of the room.

The participation of a high-level political commentator such as yourself adds considerable weight and interest to a Conference Program such as ours, and I am certain your insight into our industry, gained over many years, struck a chord with attendees. Your new book “Sideshow: Dumbing Down Democracy”, provides valuable insight into the media cycle and the impact on policy development, which I believe our members would have particularly appreciated. Thank you for helping to make the AMMA 2011 National conference such a success.
