‘Read the room’: Indigenous cricket star slams PM over Australia Day stance | mrchrisnico

games on the 26th January, and they’ll see us taking a knee against racism, and promoting inclusion for all. Take note.″⁣

Anthony Mundine applauded Cricket Australia’s recommendation to dump ‘Australia Day’ from BBL promotions.“It was a great initiative by Cricket Australia and what they wanted to do, but for ‘ScoMo’ to come out and rebel against that, it shows you where the country is at,” Mundine told the“If we’re going to move forward for a better Australia, you have to do your history, research the anthem, research the flag, Australia Day ... that day blood was spilled and genocide was rife.

“There was no politics in regards to changing the date or anything along those lines. The conversation was purely about, ‘how do we help this day be as safe and respectful for everyone involved in cricket’,” Jones said.

“Melbourne Stars’ view is that this is a complex issue that needs time and extensive engagement,” Cummins said.

mrchrisnico What part of his blood lines doesn't like?

mrchrisnico Everything's political, Scott. Look at the good that was done against apartheid in South Africa when some nations had the guts to stand up against it using sport. I really admire Australian cricket for their stance on this and other political issues.We still have some integrity.

mrchrisnico Indigenous? He’s whiter than my ass .

mrchrisnico Not really a star is he? Slow news day.

mrchrisnico These guys live in a very small room. Very small.

mrchrisnico I think he is having flash backs to his last knock down.

mrchrisnico The blokes ideal room is white white and more white.. this is his room

mrchrisnico He's indigenous, then he's Muslim, now he's indigenous again. All just self promotion if you ask me.

mrchrisnico What, the ten percent?

mrchrisnico I’d like to know who, if anyone, speaks on behalf of indigenous Australians. If an individual or group do so, then what are the thoughts and wishes of the majority they represent?

mrchrisnico Yep, all We white Aussies just have to apologize for being White. Anyway, all you people with chips on your Shoulders won't have to worry for too much longer, because skips won't be the dominant race before too long.

mrchrisnico The irony when CA are just giving the option to call it January 26 rather than the more political Australia Day. So really they ARE staying out of politics by not mentioning it 🤷‍♂️🙄

mrchrisnico Pissed at Vikings again. 'zigs instead of zagsalot'

‘This is the weirdest story I read about COVID over the weekend’: Murray | Sky News AustraliaA story about shame and stigma barriers in relation to COVID-19 testing is an “absolute bag of nonsense” amid the collection of other stories about the virus, says Sky News host Paul Murray.\n\nThe article - in The Age - said there were barriers behind why people who were young or culturally diverse didn’t get tested for COVID-19 in 2020.\n\n“Seriously? Like I know the Q-tip they put down your throat is white but what’s racist about COVID testing?” Mr Murray said.\n\n“Apparently shame and stigma around contracting COVID-19 is fueling the hesitancy for people to get tested for the virus – particularly strong among migrant communities or young people?\n\n“That’s the weirdest story I read about COVID over the weekend.”\n It's a bit irrelevant when our useless government can't actually source the vaccines anyway Let’s go naked

'I'm not sure what I signed': NSW Liberal MP tells corruption inquiry he didn't read documentsNSW Liberal MP John Sidoti, who is being investigated over allegations he misused his position to influence planning decisions, tells a corruption inquiry he repeatedly signed documents without reading them. Why is 'incompetence' the go-to defence for the LNP? I wonder if he puts that much thought and care into his job in parliament... My local member.
