Francis Leach

Francis Leach is a journalist, broadcaster, writer, media strategist and activist. He started his broadcast career by growing up on air at Australia’s youth radio network Triple J before goofing off for a couple of decades as a sports journalist. Along the way, he’s made a buck covering Football World Cups, toured with Pearl Jam, covered Presidential elections and shined white shoes with Scuff-Stuff for nervous debutantes hiring their first suits. More recently, he drove the campaign in Australia for the Magnitsky Human Rights legislation which became law in 2022. These days he is fighting the good fight as a media and communications strategist and working on curbing his addiction to acquiring vinyl LP’s.
