AFL: Cyril Rioli and First Nations families at the centre of the Hawthorn racism saga go PUBLIC
Cyril Rioli and three other former Hawthorn players go PUBLIC after the AFL drops their investigation into historic racism scandal
The four First Nations families at the center of the Hawthorn racism scandal have gone public after taking their case to the Australian Human Rights Commission.
The move comes after Gillon McLachlan confirmed the AFL had closed its independent investigation into historic claims of racism at Hawthorn involving Alastair Clarkson, Chris Fagan and Jason Burt. All three men deny the claims against them.
The families’ lawyer, Leon Zwier, vowed to continue the fight despite the AFL setback, and after starting proceedings with the Human Rights Commission, they have come out on Channel Seven to give their side of the story.
