Recently he’s beenmentoring Australia’s swimmers in the lead-up to the Rio Games. ‘If I went on recent history, I’d say: watch your back.’Please stabilise the country. Listen to what the electorate is saying. The electorate actually has most of the answers.’ IMAGE: URSULA YOVICH. (ABC/MICHELLE RANSOM-HUGHES) Ursula Yovich is an actor, singer and playwright. She’s working on a play that explores Indigenous funeral ceremonies and her own Indigenous identity. ‘My advice would be, when you go into any kind of community, to really connect with community, not just do lip service. Don’t just go in one day. ‘It’s coming back, it’s revisiting communities, and talking to communities about what they feel would be right for their people. I’m not just talking about Aboriginal people. It’s all communities.’ IMAGE: YANIS VAROUFAKIS.
