Mr Lumumba called out comments made on Monday by the club s president, Eddie McGuire, in response to the Do Better report, an independent review commissioned by Collingwood FC into its responses to incidents of racism and cultural safety in the workplace.
Going on the offensive in response to the contents of the report being made public, Mr McGuire described the revelations as a proud day . The report, led by UTS Jumbunna Institute s Larissa Behrendt, details a toxic culture within the club and the presence of systemic racism.
