Uncle Greg Packer joins Luke Wighton to discuss all things Health and Rugby League, and all the stories in between. How his family (mother, brother, sister, all stolen generation) moved from Leeton to Wagga Wagga in 1978 to confront a daunting city with less employment, finding work at Council, getting involved in sport, the Koori United, and finding a path in Aboriginal Health. He becomes chairman of the NAIDOC committee, uses the Koori Grapevine, has a lot of respect for the Black Santa, doesn’t hold a grudge and decides not to drop a load.
