Occupy Melbourne: On 'spokespersons'

There has been some debate on these pages of late regarding the issue of 'leaders' and 'spokespersons' and whether or not they have a legitimate role to play in Occupy Melbourne. It was interesting therefore to read OM's latest press release which did not cast anyone in the role of spokesperson for OM. For example in one part it reads:
'...“It is important that all the people of Melbourne know that they can attend, contribute and support the 12th general assembly of Occupy Melbourne” stated Sam Castro, Occupy Melbourne member.'
