Nicky Winmar

Post: # 2071018Post terry smith rules »

Features on an episode of “I was actually there”

Available on ABC iview

It’s about that day in 1993

It’s a must watch, many emotions of pride,anger, sadness etc

To Wellard Saint, Curly and a few others I suggest you listen to Gilbert and Nicky talk about how words do matter, to see how those words have impacted their lives in the last 30odd years

Then you might like to think about how you have spoken about Collard’s comments, because you can’t take both sides on this, that is support Nicky and Gilbert and then think Collard has done no wrong…. Words matter

Collard stuffed up.
Yes. Punish him.

SIX WEEKS IS EXCESSIVE.
2 OR 3 WEEKS MAXIMUM.

Who could forget driving into your car park at Moorabin as “Cuz” arrived carrying his kitbag and his children?

“Gidday Cuz, have a good one today”. Thanks Cuz, I will be trying”

Gilbert McAdam came from Adelaide

2 elite footballers and 2 elite citizens

And they both copped racism based on their skin colour and heritage

You would like to think Australia has matured from those times

Except there appear to be those invested into dividing us more and for personal gain

Not further dividing, it just takes a generation or two for the people who come from a background where it's embedded.

Hopefully

And education plays its part

So those of my vintage were advantaged over their parents by formal access to free education

And we have educated our children accordingly

Who are now educating their children accordingly
