Recently, there was an incident happened. Our popular representative for football, Adam Goodes was being called ''ape''. It’s really shocking when I got to know it involved a 13 year-old young girl. The girl was frustrated and angry at her team’s poor play, and yelled out at Adam Goodes, calling him an ‘ape’.

By Human Rights, the non-Indigenous can’t force us to follow their modern lifestyle. Therefore, we should stand up and do something, to contribute to our country. For instance, we can utilise our living skills in the jungle more fully as we have the advantages. I believe we would have a better understanding and interaction with the environment.
