More Indigenous Window Dressing
Well what can Grim say? Once your make it as a non-elected representative on the National Indigenous Council the world is open for all opportunities....good to see that using a token figure to promote more token services is the only career they can get away from football.
And what he is an ambassador for? Is he off to the UN to resolve the Middle East situation next?
O'Loughlin appointed Indigenous ambassador
An AFL player has been appointed as the newest Indigenous ambassador for the Commonwealth Department of Human Services.
Sydney Swans footballer Michael O'Loughlin joins three other ambassadors, including former rugby league player Arthur Beetson and women's touch footballer Bo de la Cruz.
Minister for Human Services Joe Hockey says the ambassadors will visit regional and remote Indigenous communities to promote awareness of government services, including Centrelink and Medicare.
Mr O'Loughlin says he is looking forward to his new role and will make his first visit tomorrow to Albany in southern Western Australian.
"It's actually going to be a work expo and just be making sure [they know about] the services that are available to these people, that they probably don't know about," he said.
"Hopefully I'll get a good response because it's in WA territory and I'm not too sure they like Swans people there that much, so that's going to be very interesting."

I stand corrected Beamerican, with so many self appointed 'leaders' out there you lose track after a while...of course I should have soad Adam 'Crybaby' Goodes. The term ambassaor is stupid for O'Loughlin....all he is doing is being a glorified Aboriginal Liasion Officer promoting services by the Government which are non crap....
As for Beetson who is he?

Oh now I know who this Beetson puppet is!
This is a good article by Stephen Hagan and the problem with those Uncle Toms out there.
If the shoe fits, wear it.
Just when you think the racial vilification laws in our national football codes are working effectively, along comes another racist outburst. South Sydney Rugby League Captain Bryan Fletcher’s recent racist verbal spray of “black c***â€Â
