Carlton Supporters Club

Actually Winmar was supposed to be on the show and didn't show up. Throughout the show Sam kept asking Eddie is he here yet with the longer the show went the less likely he was going to turn up. At the last break Newman came out in blackface and said "I'm here bla bla"
Following week he had Winmar's guernsey which was a bulldogs one from memory and he apologised directly to him for any offence and that he wish he had the jumper last week and it wouldn't have happened.

It makes little sense why Winmar would be signally to feral Collingwood fans that he has guts. Not sure what Sheahan and co were really thinking?

As has been said, they weren't thinking. Its ironic that they suggested what Winmar was thinking at that time, how would they know? Only Winmar would know and he has stated a million times categorically that he was pointing to the colour of skin and was proud of it. It staggers me how people try not only to put words in the mouths of others, but also thoughts in their heads.

Ludbey intimates quite clearly (without stating it explicitly) that he was in earshot of Winmar and McAdam, and heard Winmar say 3 times "I'm black and proud to be black." Assuming he's telling the truth, there's nothing more to say.

Those three good ol boys supposedly got their story from Tony Shaw. Another photographer on the day corroborated Ludbey's version. The HS editor had to choose between the "gutsy effort" interpretation from Shaw and the Ludbey version, and decided the former would be the official story. I guess it's too much of a stretch for those three to check the story with Ludbey, McAdam or Winmar.

Good to see the HS was the epitome of unbiased reporting and quality journalism even back then.

Gilbert McAdam has backed up Winmar's version many times - and he's part of the media pack. 

It took a couple of days before it was widely appreciated that Winmar and McAdam were having a crack at racist supporters.  The Age picked it up and had an editorial on racism at the footy.  That was followed by Allan McAlister's cringeworthy comment that Collingwood did not have an issue with Indigenous Australians, "... as long as they conduct themselves like white people, well, off the field, everyone will admire and respect them."

Gina Rinehart spotted at Trump’s presidential bid announcement, 9 News.

Birds of a feather. Clearly, she didn’t want to repudiate Daddy’s call to sterilise Indigenous Australians because doing so may have ruffled a few of her fellow birds’ feathers. Even a hard right winger like Rupert Murdoch is walking away from Trump but Gina is like the daughter Trump wishes he had.

I reckon Netball Australia will be glad that Rinehart took her money and walked.

Well Dickhead Dan is making us pay for it.
