"How can I stand here and speak to the idea of our place in an indissoluble Commonwealth when this week my people have been reminded that our place is so often behind this nation's bars," "This week we know what Australia looks like. This week Australia is a boy in a hood strapped to a chair. This week Australia is Aboriginal boys tear gassed, locked down and beaten. These are the images on our television screens. These boys who look like my boys"

about Adam Goodes
)
:
"The winter of 2015 has shaken [my children] as it has me. If Adam Goodes can be laid so low, then we are all at risk. I have told them over and over that in this life we must cover up and never leave an opening for racism to strike us … The Adam Goodes booing debate enraged me, sickened me, saddened me and made me feel helpless. Here was everything I had thought – hoped – we had left behind. All of those words: tolerance, freedom, inclusion – I wondered now whether any of it was ever real"
