An amazing and moving speech by Stan Grant which is worth listening to and explains the Indigenous point of view and experience eloquently. It had me in tears.

I hope Mr Grant mentioned the fact he was disturbed by the NRL's season-starting showpiece which sees a side chosen along racial lines.
Is Mr Grant discommoded by the AFL's Indigenous round of football? Why no AFL Caucasian round?
I smell a hypocrite and that brings me to tears.

You remind me of me and my siblings when we were kids. There were ten of us, and although my mother was an excellent cook and none of us ever went hungry, we would sit around the table at mealtimes watching each other's plates like hawks as she dished up, to make sure nobody got a single pea or potato or spoonful of gravy more than we did.
Of course we grew out of it as we became adult.
