This week we talk with champion soccer player and co-chair of the Australian Republic Movement, Craig Foster, about everything from the upcoming coronation of King Charles to matters much closer to home, including the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the Voice to parliament. As well: how as a country we’re at an important inflection point, grappling with the legacy of colonisation and dispossession, genocide and racism.

The conversation, hosted by Good Weekend senior writer Jane Cadzow, also explores Foster’s childhood in Lismore, along with the many campaigns he has waged on behalf of asylum seekers and the personal toll of such humanitarian crusades.
