Australian of the Year Announced

[daysofourlives]

Has Crawf already been recognized for his charity work, on Australia Day?
If not its a fricken joke that Goodes gets Australian of the year for what? standing up to a 13 yr old girl that called him a monkey because he physically looked like a monkey with his full beard and not for any racial reason. Stinks of politics.
Dont get me wrong, the publicity afterwards was good for racism awareness and a good lesson for all but faark me Australian of the year what a joke.
If its just for his charity work well he doesnt even come close to the achievments of Crawf and many other volunteers in all different fields.

So Goodes' charity cater's for indigenous children.
Do research scientists for breast cancer look for a cure for all people or just one race of people?
Do CFS volunteers only save one race's homes?
Is bullying only a problem for one race of people or is it present amongst everyone no matter the colour of their skin?
Goodes is doing a great thing but deserving of Aussie of the year, I think not

This is gold. Keep them coming.

it would be when trying to get a corporate sponsor.

Doing it without corporate sponsorship. Even better.
