Meet The Mob

"I didn't think I had a problem. I was playing footy and I'd go and train and then after training I'd be drinking. The night before games. After the game. It was taking over my life."

"I'm pretty done with the sad stories; I'd like to hear all good ones now."

"When Ernie Dingo found out I was Aboriginal, he was really supportive. There weren't many of us Kooris around ABC TV at the time."

"I was broken, I was hurt, I was angry and the only thing that helped me out was alcohol and drugs."

"It's a birthright to remain connected to communities, culture and to their histories."

"I was born with perforated eardrums. I had five perforations in my left side and seven in my right side. I couldn't hear at all, I just thought everyone couldn't."

"If no-one says anything or stands up to a wrong then it'll just continue"

"I'm a fisher girl, the most relaxing time is when I've got that line in the water and you're just sitting there thinking."
