00:00Racism has no place in society, it has no place in our industry.

00:10Football's racism row has erupted again.

00:13I'll continue to stand up.

00:16This is unacceptable.

00:17We're doing it because it's black.

00:18It's a bit of a joke.

00:19It's their voice.

00:20We are racist.

00:21It's shocking.

00:22The backlash intensified.

00:23Strangled.

00:24He knew why it was happening.

00:25We need to talk about this.

00:26You get what you wish for.

00:27Suddenly, it wasn't just Adam Goodes the footballer, he was Adam Goodes the angry Aboriginal.

00:37My mum is Indigenous, my dad is Irish-Scottish.

00:41Growing up, I actually didn't know what it meant to be an Indigenous person.

00:47Suddenly, for Adam, here was a history of invasion, of shooting, of separating children.

00:54I don't think most Australians understand what is racist and what isn't.

01:00Casual racism is there, it's alive and it's flourishing in our communities.

01:07All anyone ever wants is to be respected for who you are.

01:10The 2014 Australian of the Year, Adam Goodes.

01:16I believe racism is a community issue.

01:20It's remarkable, it gives you goosebumps.

01:23That's why racism stops with me.

01:25That, to me, was the moment that summed him up.

01:32It's important that we give courage and voice to those people who do want to stand up.

01:38Adam Goodes, if you're watching, this is for you.

01:43The more I learned about what it meant to be Aboriginal, the more proud I got.

01:50He's a champion, and he always will be a champion, goodsy.

01:56My hope for him is that he can show others that there's a path from the worst of Australia

02:04to the best of Australia.
