Racism very much alive in Australia: Ex-Governor General

Its not a good time for our indigenous people. They are not happy with it. To them it has all sorts of other negative connotations. I wish we could find another day.

Speaking on MTRs Steve Vizard program on Thursday,Dr Hollingworth backed comments last week by prominent surgeon Charlie Teo,who said racism was very much alive in Australia. I think the truth is,we are all racist,really,when it comes down to it. I think all of us have to check ourselves from time to time,and say,look,that sort of attitude isn8217;t good enough. It takes discipline to keep our prejudices out,he added.
