Well can you blame us ? We paid him hundreds of thousands to enjoy the broncos rehabilitation facilities and programs. Best paid holiday to Queensland ever !
Yeah I was more talking about how the younger people respected the elders and the elders guide them to not completely **** their lives with drugs and alcohol but lean on their culture for identity and self worth.
I’m aware of those ceremonies but they have largely been faded out and the turning...
