It’s seen as a pivotal moment in race relations in Australia, signifying the moment when it became obvious that racism has no place in sport, or indeed anywhere.
So, on this episode of The Right-brain Warm-up I talk to Aaron Tyler, the man I worked with to build a monument to this moment, which now sees a ten foot high bronzed replica of Winmar’s iconic stance standing outside Perth’s Optus Stadium, forever strong and proud.
