I Have Been Told Many Times That When I Win I Make My People Proud To Be Australian. I Am Aboriginal, I Am One Of Them And Every Time I Win Or Am Honoured Like This It Should Be An Example To Aboriginal People Who May Think They Have Nowhere To Go But Down.

I Would Like To Believe That My Successes Are Celebrated By All Australians, Bringing Our Nation Together.
