“What we do to our native Australians, our own indigenous people, is no...” — Peter Norman Quote

“What we do to our native Australians, our own indigenous people, is nothing short of horrific.”

“My attitude was, they'd earned the right to do what they thought they had to do with their one square metre of Olympic dais, and I was glad they were doing it, and glad I was with them.”

“I won a silver medal. But really, I ended up running the fastest race of my life to become part of something that transcended the Games.”

“Sometimes when Australians go overseas, it's as though the 'Aussie' is refined out of them. I don't know why. It's never happened to me, because I'm really proud of it. I'm not embarrassed about where I'm from or who I am any more. I know who I am. I don't fit in everywhere, but I know where I do fit in.”

“On average, Australians watch more than three hours of television a day, compared with 12 minutes a day spent by the average couple talking to each other.”

“This game is something Australians really look forward to.”
