About the speaker
What’s driving the rise of independent voices in Australian politics—and what can we learn from them?
Join us as we welcome Zoe Daniel, the first independent MP for the Division of Goldstein, for a timely and forward-looking talk on the evolving role of independents in shaping both politics and community leadership.
Zoe will explore:
Why the rise of independents reflects shifting voter expectations and frustration with the major parties
A new model of leadership: values-based, community-backed, and solution-focused
What business and community leaders can take from the independent playbook—collaborative problem-solving, active listening, and courage to challenge the status quo
