My recollection was he was vilified racially in 2013 by the girl and rightly had her ejected. He copped unfair backlash for that.
Then in 2014 he was named Australian of the year and spent the next 12 months running the joint into the ground, focusing on historical atrocities rather than any and all positives that exist back then and currently. He basically retold stories we are all well aware of such as Captain Cook, massacres and stolen generation rather than work on solutions to the current problems facing his people such as poor education, poor health, substance abuse, unemployment and crime in remote and regional centres. His campaigning of anti racism ignored all the bad things coming out of the Indigenous communities. Sure the vilification of individuals and inequity of opportunities may have dissipated, but it did nothing to spark generational change within Black communities. A lot of households had substance abuse concerns, a lot of the kids were still living in squalor, a lot of communities were made up of unemployed individuals living on welfare, and the jails and detention centres were still heavily populated by indigenous criminals.
This seemed to upset people as he was just calling everyone racists, rather than use his huge platform to elicit actual change.
2015 is when the crowds turned on him. Is it possible they’d had a gut full of him by then? I can’t answer that.
