Australian Rules Footballer - Adam Goodes

As Adam Goodes nears the end of his sporting career is he about to enter a new one as a politician?

One of Australian Rules Football's greatest players is Adam Goodes. He鈥檚 of Aboriginal heritage and is the 2014 Australian of the Year - an award recognising not only his sporting talent but his public stand against racism, which was epitomised in 2013, when, during a match in Melbourne, a teenage girl called Goodes an ape. He had her kicked out of the stadium and, not for the first time, racism in sport and society was at the centre of national debate in Australia. Now as Adam Goodes nears the end of his sporting career is he about to enter a new one as a politician? Rob Bonnet talks to Adam Goodes in Melbourne.
