I’m not being woke here, cos having a brown adopted brother in 1970’s Geebung I’ve been awake to discrimination my whole life, but seriously, what century are the Innisfail Turf Club living in? Racing is funded by the State Government. The government has strict anti-discrimination policies. Saturday’s race day promotion at Innisfail breaches them in […]
