Name one other footy commentator who could discuss this issue with such sensitivity, insight, nuance, and wisdom.

“...Earth is our only shareholder... instead of ‘going public’, you could say we’re ‘going purpose’... instead of extracting value from nature & transforming it into wealth for investors...[we'll] protect the source of all wealth.”

People who look like me have been told to go back to where they come from at one point or another. I’ve copped it more times than I can count, but the hurt & sorrow it causes never lessens.

When Parliament sits on the 26th Sept, the Greens will move to censure Pauline Hanson.
