Stan Grant, in his final Q+A appearance, invoked the Wiradjuri concept of Yindyamarra to challenge the media and address the online hate he and his family endured.
"We have never stopped loving and fighting for justice and truth."And he had a message for those who had abused him and members of his family."Yindyamarra means I'm not just responsible for what I do, but for what you do. It is what it means to be Wiradjuri. It is the core of my being. It is respect ... that comes from the earth we are born into from God, Biame."
"I need a break from the media, I feel like I'm part of the problem and I need to ask myself how or if I can do it better." "It's really hard to see him struggling and that he's had to cop the racism and the disgusting filth that has been put online," daughter Lowanna Grant told the Sydney rally.
