A Eureka Street article:

Ian spoke at in the UK  at the Beyond Sport Summit in early July.

His speech (well worth a read) is on crikey.com

(Ian's foundation is

and a quick response to what he is saying might be to sign an open letter to visiting
United Nations Human Rights Rapporteur, Professor James Anaya.
After his visit, he will be providing the UN Human Rights Council with a report on his assessment of human rights in Australia.
The Australian government will be expected to respond.
