We strongly believe that: Australia can build a more inclusive society that better understands and values the history, culture, rights and contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Stronger relationships, built on shared knowledge and respect, are key to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders controlling their life choices and participating fully in the economic and social opportunities enjoyed by the wider community. In a reconciled Australia, the success of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will not be seen as extraordinary.

  • Conclusion and Key Issues
    Conclusion and Key Issues port has long played an important social and cultural role in Australia. It provides a form of social glue which binds communities and creates a broader, more unified society. Sport has enriched the Australian language and added to its humour. It has S 1 developed a rich celebrity culture as well as revered sites and traditions. To many, sport is everything. The legendary Liverpool (UK) football manager Bill Shankly once remarked: “Some people think football is a matter of life and death . I can assure them that it is much more serious that that”.2 And in Australia such a sentiment often seems very true. Take, for instance, the most mentioned media items recorded by Media Monitors during 3–9 July 2006: the FIFA World Cup drew 19,330 mentions; the Wimbledon tennis tournament scored 14,648; there were 8,774 mentions about the State of Origin rugby league final; followed by 8,072 mentions regarding North Korea test firing seven long-range missiles which sparked world-wide condemnation. At times, sport can eclipse everything else in this country.3 But why do people choose to participate in one sport over another? The answers to this are as diverse as the number of sporting activities in this country; people’s choices are influenced by their parents, their friends, access and barriers to different sports, cost, physical attributes, and the list goes on. But there is one constant when it comes to sport – if participants find involvement in their sport of choice enjoyable and fulfilling then they will be more likely to continue into their adult lives.
