McGUIRE RESIGNATION
The way Eddie McGuire reacted to the Collingwood racism review report should have been an “ah-ha” moment to Australia. Because this is the way we have been handling racism for years. McGuire was just doing what we all have done. I honestly feel the club and McGuire are probably sincere about trying to deal with it but have truly not understood the reality of “walking in other’s shoes”. This is a great challenge for all of us.

MARGARET COURT
Time to enhance, not diminish our honours
Like many, I was saddened by Margaret Courtâs AC. Court has already received an Order of Australia award recognising her service. As with at least two of last yearâs awards she is a controversial figure with loudly advocated extremist opinions, hurtful and socially damaging to many, and certain to provoke Australians who value diversity, tolerance and non-extreme views. Is the Council for the Order of Australia insensitive, or deliberately provocative?
