I'm stuck on the comment " telling us an unborn baby will ruin our lives".
I wonder how many non indigenous young players were told the exact same thing?

I'm sure plenty of parents have said the same thing to their youngsters.
And, don't hang around those kids because you'll end up in trouble.

Im sure there's more to the story, but this just smacks of a witch hunt.

Indigenous or not your employer saying that isn't the best either....barely acceptable for family too.

I disagree. They do it cause they love and care about you and your future.
Not because they just wannabe cu**a.

It's different mate, because Aboriginal people were removed from families purely because of a plan to breed the black (culture) out of them by the Government.
It hits pretty close to home for me as I was one of those people the government almost successfully bred the black out of with both my father and grand mother being a part of the stolen generation.
Being taken away from your family is one thing but being taken away from your culture is another.
I'm still yet to connect back to my people and land but am in the process of doing it.
Because of this no white person in authority can even insinuate an Aboriginal would be better off without a family member or child.
It's an extremely upsetting thing.
I hope that gives you a little bit of insight as I find the subject quite disturbing and won't comment anymore.

That's not nice, you dont see us hoping you blokes bring Jonas back in.

And it will get thrown. Any concussion is getting you weeks no matter the action.

I'm waiting for the shitstorm when someone takes a hanger and KO's the step ladder.
