    I visited Uluru a few years back and it was horrible to see the way they were treated or rather exploited. My observations in the big cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Perth was better however.

    Manley is a really nice place with some seriously expensive real estate. There are some nice beaches and lots of eye candy. I've been there several times and not really observed any problems and my cousin lives on the outskirts. I've not seen this program but will have a look on iplayer and then make a call. I bloody love Sydney and my son (Bluebird) lives and works there and there's lots of multi-cultural stuff going on. You're gonna get some bad eggs everywhere. Whatever happened to Sydney Blue or Bluebird Down Under?

    Manley is a decent place to live, decent bars, right on the edge of a national park, its the other side of the bridge from Maroubra ( which is a plus ) I have spent many good nights in Manly, nice bistro's ( used to be a very good Jazz bar down that way when i was on Sydney ) and you get to arrive by the ferry, what more could you want

    Great surf at Manley beach, on the other side i used to scuba dive near the sailing club, if i wasnt living in Double bay at the time, i would have looked at Manley as it had it all

    thats a good walk indeed, well done to him, very impressive

    Had plenty of nights out in Bondi aswell though it was a PITA to get back from at night, so would often just drink till the 1st bus and then head to work saved on a taxi fare

    Watched it up to the point they were calling him an ape. Will watch the rest tonight.

    That guy doing the "blackface" in 1993. The arrogance of the bloke. Wow. Even in the meeting to apologise he was grinning like it was a big joke.

    I work with a lot of Australians. Generally nice people. A few knobs but you get them everywhere but there seems to be an undercurrent a sense that they for some reason consider themselves somehow superior.

    You find a lot of ockers around SEAsia. Honestly they are a fkg disgrace in places like Bali. Probably because it’s so quick and easy to get to for the drinking classes.

    And that sense of superiority goes to the top Last month I think the Australian immigration minister tol New Zealander’s working in Australia to go home.

    I agree with the New Zealand prime minister who was asked to comment on the rising numbers of New Zealander’s going to Australia. She said it improved the IQ of both countries

    I've been very fortunate to travel globally & visit roughly 40 countries. Without doubt the two most racist countries (which really surprised me) are Australia & Canada (unfortunately due to the high level of begging & drunk Inuits).

    My Aunt is of Aboriginal decent and when I was staying with her and I was lucky enough to meet & date an Aboriginal lass. I went out with her one night to a party and they only let her in after pleading by me. There was a buffet but as I only had the one entry ticket I gave it to her but they refused her food and gave me a hard time for giving her the ticket. We walked out.

    I love Australia, I love my ever growing (Aboriginal decent) family, but the racism is truly surprising.

    The chap who was criticising Goodes about the incident din't come across very well. I have always thought that they are inherently racist and see themselves as superior to any no-white immigrants. Cleary so too. and the above poster's point about them seeming arrogant come across as being true too.

    My daughter spent a year there and said in the smaller communities the indigenous people are treated really poorly and looked down upon.

    Canada surprises me , very multi racial in the major cities , Toronto and vancouver are rainbow cities

    Australia , well their treatment of aborigines is akin to the genocide of the American indians

    In the settlements the plan , after they had stopped murdering aborigine men was to get aborigine girls to mate with white boys and dilute the gene pool

    I was surprised by the mention of Canada. Toronto for example is a multi racial City although I noticed there are distinct parts where the various races live and have not integrated. There is a massive Chinese element there. From memory I believe at least 20% of the population of Canada were not born there.

    Firstly, I've just watched the documentary, which is excellent. Goodes & Stan Grant come across really well and much of what was portrayed reflects my experiences. There is a high level of naivety & ignorance.

    Regarding Canada, I've lived in Toronto and I found the racism to be selective. Quebecois & Chinese get regular stick but the Inuits get the same level of abuse as the Aborigines in Oz. Unfortunately there's homelessness & drunkeness linked to social & lack of work which exaggerates the situation. In my time in Vancouver I didn't see similar problems but as a city it has serious drug & social issues but takes a very positive approach.
