1
00:00:04,021 --> 00:00:06,221
I'm walking
2
00:00:06,318 --> 00:00:10,718
Like a lonely child
3
00:00:10,821 --> 00:00:14,451
Never knowing which way to
turn
4
00:00:14,545 --> 00:00:18,875
Feeling lost
I've wandered far
5
00:00:18,983 --> 00:00:21,183
Reach out and touch me
6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:26,439
Take my hand and walk me home
7
00:00:26,541 --> 00:00:28,051
Reach out and touch me
8
00:00:28,145 --> 00:00:36,105
Understand that you will
never,
ever be alone
9
00:00:37,372 --> 00:00:40,842
Lost and lonely
Lost and lonely
10
00:00:40,942 --> 00:00:45,072
Till you found me
Till you found me
11
00:00:45,171 --> 00:00:49,471
And now you're giving me
everything, yeah
12
00:00:49,566 --> 00:00:52,266
Teach me to find love
13
00:00:52,366 --> 00:00:55,936
Take my hand and walk me home
14
00:00:56,035 --> 00:00:58,065
Reach out for my love
15
00:00:58,167 --> 00:01:07,487
Understand that
you will never be alone.
16
00:01:31,286 --> 00:01:32,856
WOMAN: Joely!
17
00:01:32,955 --> 00:01:35,315
Yeah, hang on!
18
00:02:07,811 --> 00:02:11,401
Mum!
Oh, Joely! Photo.
19
00:02:12,205 --> 00:02:13,905
Nice hair.
Dad!
20
00:02:14,006 --> 00:02:14,736
Eddie!
What?
21
00:02:14,841 --> 00:02:18,271
I just said... you look good.
You look deadly, you know?
22
00:02:18,368 --> 00:02:21,228
If you were going to court.
See, Mum?
23
00:02:21,333 --> 00:02:21,873
Edward.
24
00:02:21,970 --> 00:02:25,000
Come on, I was just joking,
alright? You look deadly.
25
00:02:25,101 --> 00:02:29,331
Joely, I'm proud of you,
alright? Thanks.
26
00:02:32,428 --> 00:02:34,828
(Camera clicks)
27
00:02:52,454 --> 00:02:56,794
Australians all let us rejoice
28
00:02:56,892 --> 00:03:00,662
For we are young and free
29
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:05,719
We've golden soil
and wealth for toil
30
00:03:05,822 --> 00:03:09,722
Our home is girt by sea
31
00:03:09,821 --> 00:03:14,881
Our land bounds in nature's
gifts
32
00:03:14,984 --> 00:03:18,414
Of beauty rich and rare
33
00:03:18,511 --> 00:03:23,681
In history's page, let every
stage
34
00:03:23,783 --> 00:03:27,413
Advance Australia fair
35
00:03:27,508 --> 00:03:32,648
In joyful strains then let us
sing
36
00:03:32,746 --> 00:03:36,166
Advance Australia fair
37
00:03:36,273 --> 00:03:41,273
Beneath our radiant Southern
Cross
38
00:03:41,370 --> 00:03:46,840
We'll toil with hearts and
hands.
39
00:03:56,837 --> 00:04:00,097
Morning, Joel.
Morning, sir.
40
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:03,059
How's your first day
at Clifton Grammar going?
41
00:04:03,164 --> 00:04:04,644
Yeah, it's OK.
42
00:04:04,735 --> 00:04:07,055
Good. Good.
43
00:04:07,163 --> 00:04:10,773
Hey, I know it's a bit
intimidating, but you'll be
right.
44
00:04:10,865 --> 00:04:11,255
Mmm.
45
00:04:11,359 --> 00:04:15,059
Do you know why you've been
kept back from assembly?
46
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,190
Uh, no. Am I in trouble, sir?
47
00:04:17,291 --> 00:04:24,291
No. Look, no, um, Mrs MaCann
just wanted me to have a talk
with you.
48
00:04:25,090 --> 00:04:27,660
Do you know what
the national anthem is?
49
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:29,149
Yeah.
Mmm?
50
00:04:29,254 --> 00:04:35,384
Oh, it's a song sung at footy
grand finals and cricket games,
51
00:04:35,482 --> 00:04:38,382
like when Australia play England
and India and that.
52
00:04:38,482 --> 00:04:41,382
(Laughs) Yeah, yeah. That's
right.
53
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,820
Any other occasions spring to
mind?
54
00:04:43,918 --> 00:04:46,948
Uh, and the State of Origin.
55
00:04:47,049 --> 00:04:51,279
Yep. That's right -
at the State of Origin.
56
00:04:51,377 --> 00:04:54,047
You'd be a Blues man, yeah?
Nah, Queensland.
57
00:04:54,145 --> 00:04:57,845
Really? Why is that?
'Cause they got more
blackfellas.
58
00:05:00,045 --> 00:05:03,005
Hey, I noticed today
you weren't singing.
59
00:05:03,208 --> 00:05:06,468
Yeah.
Why was that?
60
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,940
It's... I don't know the words,
sir.
61
00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:15,969
Right. OK, well, um...
62
00:05:16,071 --> 00:05:17,911
OK, for your first bit of
homework,
63
00:05:18,005 --> 00:05:19,295
I want you to learn
the words tonight,
64
00:05:19,401 --> 00:05:25,971
and write one page on the
origins of Advance Australia
Fair.
65
00:05:26,464 --> 00:05:29,434
Yes, sir.
Easy.
66
00:05:33,263 --> 00:05:35,203
You know, you're in a very
privileged position,
67
00:05:35,295 --> 00:05:37,355
winning an Indigenous
scholarship to Clifton.
68
00:05:37,460 --> 00:05:40,930
I hope you make the most of it,
Joel.
69
00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:43,159
Yes, sir.
70
00:06:05,756 --> 00:06:08,946
(Door clicks)
Joely?
71
00:06:09,052 --> 00:06:10,222
Yeah.
72
00:06:10,316 --> 00:06:12,646
Well? How did it go?
73
00:06:12,753 --> 00:06:13,313
Uh, it was alright.
74
00:06:13,413 --> 00:06:18,213
No, no, no, no, no.
You're not getting away with
that.
75
00:06:18,917 --> 00:06:20,717
It's school, Mum.
You know, school. It's fine.
76
00:06:20,817 --> 00:06:25,947
Well, I'm your mother,
remember? Mothers don't know
anything.
77
00:06:26,046 --> 00:06:29,236
So, come on. How did it go?
78
00:06:29,342 --> 00:06:31,812
What are the students like?
Are the teachers nice?
79
00:06:31,911 --> 00:06:34,081
They're fine, Mum. It's all
fine.
80
00:06:34,175 --> 00:06:37,735
Come on!
You gotta give me something.
81
00:06:37,844 --> 00:06:39,244
(Sighs) I got homework.
82
00:06:39,338 --> 00:06:41,768
On your first day?
Yeah.
83
00:06:41,874 --> 00:06:43,684
Are you gonna do it now?
Yep.
84
00:06:43,775 --> 00:06:49,265
Well, too good! Well, I don't
wanna stop Mr Studious!
85
00:07:06,295 --> 00:07:09,725
(Knocking at door)
Yeah?
86
00:07:15,258 --> 00:07:17,928
How'd you go today, bud? Good?
Yeah, good.
87
00:07:18,027 --> 00:07:21,217
You got homework, eh?
Yeah.
88
00:07:21,322 --> 00:07:22,322
What is it?
89
00:07:22,421 --> 00:07:26,161
I don't know -
some Advance Australia Fair
thing.
90
00:07:26,255 --> 00:07:26,815
Yeah?
91
00:07:26,924 --> 00:07:29,254
I gotta write a page on where it
comes from and that,
92
00:07:29,353 --> 00:07:30,993
and I have to learn
the words for it too.
93
00:07:31,087 --> 00:07:34,317
What for - you gotta sing it?
Yeah, everyone's gotta sing it.
94
00:07:34,416 --> 00:07:35,686
Teachers and all.
95
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:36,989
Stand up and sing it?
Yep.
96
00:07:37,086 --> 00:07:40,886
But they only sing that thing
at State of Origin or what?
97
00:07:40,985 --> 00:07:43,305
That's what I said.
Well, what do they reckon?
98
00:07:43,413 --> 00:07:47,123
I don't know,
just give me this thing to do.
99
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,280
'For those who've come
across the seas,
100
00:07:50,378 --> 00:07:52,548
we've boundless plains to
share.'
101
00:07:52,650 --> 00:07:53,550
What did they share?
102
00:07:53,650 --> 00:07:56,750
'With courage let us all
combine
to advance Australia fair.'
103
00:07:56,847 --> 00:08:00,677
You gotta sing this?
Yep. Every day.
104
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:02,980
Every day?
105
00:08:04,075 --> 00:08:06,235
(Sighs) What do you reckon,
Choc?
106
00:08:06,339 --> 00:08:09,169
Pretty bizarre, what, bro?
107
00:08:11,402 --> 00:08:13,912
Well, good luck with that one,
Joely.
108
00:08:14,006 --> 00:08:16,166
(Sighs) Yeah.
109
00:08:20,268 --> 00:08:21,298
Joel! Joel!
110
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:24,099
Nice suit, bro. Looking good!
111
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,740
Looks like you're going to the
club, brother.
112
00:08:26,836 --> 00:08:29,766
Who do you think you are in
that - Will Smith?
113
00:08:29,868 --> 00:08:31,668
(Laughter)
114
00:08:31,768 --> 00:08:32,598
Aww, Joely!
115
00:08:32,702 --> 00:08:35,002
Joel, we're only mucking
around, cuz.
116
00:08:35,097 --> 00:08:36,927
Joel!
117
00:08:37,031 --> 00:08:37,671
Joely!
118
00:08:37,766 --> 00:08:41,386
What - you're too good for us
now or what?
119
00:08:42,830 --> 00:08:44,860
Dad!
120
00:08:45,796 --> 00:08:48,186
Joely. You want a lift to
school?
121
00:08:48,291 --> 00:08:50,861
Yeah.
122
00:09:23,914 --> 00:09:28,344
Friend of yours?
What? Nah! Nah, nah.
123
00:09:29,846 --> 00:09:32,136
Yeah, of course.
124
00:09:41,907 --> 00:09:44,767
Hey, Dad, just drop me off here.
Eh?
125
00:09:44,873 --> 00:09:46,843
It's alright.
It's just... I wanna walk.
126
00:09:46,939 --> 00:09:50,809
What for?
I don't know, I just wanna
walk.
127
00:09:51,706 --> 00:09:54,896
No worries, bud.
Thanks, Dad.
128
00:10:03,602 --> 00:10:05,962
Hey, Joely!
129
00:10:06,064 --> 00:10:09,534
Hey, that thing you had to do
last night, that homework,
130
00:10:09,634 --> 00:10:10,964
I feel no good about it, eh?
131
00:10:11,061 --> 00:10:15,131
What do you reckon?
I don't know.
132
00:10:15,994 --> 00:10:16,834
You know what, Joely?
133
00:10:16,928 --> 00:10:20,628
I have never stood up for that
song, not even for the State of
Origin.
134
00:10:20,729 --> 00:10:23,559
It's not our song.
It doesn't belong to us.
135
00:10:23,661 --> 00:10:27,251
You don't need that stuff to
have pride, bud, alright?
136
00:10:27,353 --> 00:10:30,633
If you get in trouble for not
singing their gammon song,
137
00:10:30,725 --> 00:10:34,315
you tell 'em come and talk to
me, alright?
138
00:10:35,251 --> 00:10:37,891
Thanks, Dad. I will.
139
00:10:48,619 --> 00:10:52,649
Australians all let us rejoice
140
00:10:52,749 --> 00:10:56,649
For we are young and free
141
00:10:56,748 --> 00:11:01,648
We've golden soil
and wealth for toil
142
00:11:01,746 --> 00:11:05,776
Our home is girt by sea
143
00:11:05,877 --> 00:11:10,677
Our land bounds in nature's
gifts
144
00:11:10,776 --> 00:11:14,536
Of beauty rich and rare
145
00:11:14,642 --> 00:11:19,512
In history's page, let every
stage
146
00:11:19,608 --> 00:11:23,508
Advance Australia fair
147
00:11:23,606 --> 00:11:29,126
In joyful strains
then let us sing...
148
00:11:32,032 --> 00:11:34,232
(Door creaks)
149
00:11:44,631 --> 00:11:46,161
Morning, Joel.
Morning, sir.
150
00:11:46,258 --> 00:11:49,658
Mrs MaCann noticed you weren't
singing again.
151
00:11:49,762 --> 00:11:51,762
I thought we talked about this.
152
00:11:51,859 --> 00:11:55,119
Yeah, but I done my homework.
153
00:12:08,085 --> 00:12:11,275
Well, I'm a little confused,
Joel.
154
00:12:11,687 --> 00:12:14,277
Why weren't you singing?
155
00:12:17,246 --> 00:12:19,746
We really want you to be
a part of this school, Joel.
156
00:12:19,850 --> 00:12:23,450
A scholarship is something you
should grab with both hands.
157
00:12:23,551 --> 00:12:26,581
I don't want to see you
throw it away.
158
00:12:26,682 --> 00:12:29,012
But we need you to follow the
rules,
159
00:12:29,110 --> 00:12:33,110
and one of those rules is to
sing the national anthem at
assembly.
160
00:12:33,207 --> 00:12:39,067
Yeah, I know, sir.
It just doesn't feel right.
161
00:12:40,073 --> 00:12:43,773
Well, I'm sorry, Joel,
but rules are rules.
162
00:12:44,203 --> 00:12:48,643
Now, Mr Moore's going
to have a talk with you, OK?
163
00:12:54,836 --> 00:12:57,596
He's alright. He's a good
teacher.
164
00:12:57,704 --> 00:12:58,164
(Door clunks)
165
00:12:58,264 --> 00:13:02,064
I've been the Aboriginal
liaison here for nearly three
years now.
166
00:13:02,163 --> 00:13:05,063
Three years I've been standing
in this hall with that song,
167
00:13:05,163 --> 00:13:06,603
and you know what?
168
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:07,860
I've never sung a word.
169
00:13:07,964 --> 00:13:09,104
What - so, you don't have to
sing it?
170
00:13:09,195 --> 00:13:13,795
Ah, now, my mouth's moving,
but I'm not singing.
171
00:13:13,895 --> 00:13:16,085
No sound, Joel.
172
00:13:16,192 --> 00:13:19,062
Mouth moving.
173
00:13:20,224 --> 00:13:22,934
Nothing coming out.
174
00:13:23,123 --> 00:13:25,893
See how you go with that one.
175
00:13:27,528 --> 00:13:33,718
OK, we're opening up to 5.2.
Those with an old book, 3.1.
176
00:13:38,821 --> 00:13:40,181
Hey.
177
00:13:51,013 --> 00:13:54,953
GIRL: Today the modern world is
facing one of the greatest
challenges
178
00:13:55,045 --> 00:13:56,075
we yet have to face.
179
00:13:56,177 --> 00:13:59,517
That challenge
is called global warming.
180
00:13:59,615 --> 00:14:01,165
Since the Industrial Revolution,
181
00:14:01,274 --> 00:14:06,744
man has escalated into mining
of the Earth's fossil fuel...
182
00:14:57,725 --> 00:15:00,685
MAN: I caught this morning
morning's minion,
183
00:15:00,791 --> 00:15:03,691
kingdom of daylight's dauphin.
184
00:15:03,987 --> 00:15:08,147
I caught this morning
morning's minion,
185
00:15:08,250 --> 00:15:11,650
kingdom of daylight's dauphin.
186
00:15:12,215 --> 00:15:16,845
Look at these words. Look at
them.
187
00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:20,679
Why has he written them?
What's he saying?
188
00:15:20,783 --> 00:15:25,583
(Mimics snoring) Look at the
words. Look closely.
189
00:15:25,682 --> 00:15:28,682
'Morning morning's minion.'
190
00:15:28,780 --> 00:15:32,680
Why these words? Why?
191
00:15:34,174 --> 00:15:38,914
The 'M's. Look at the 'M's.
192
00:15:39,073 --> 00:15:39,843
What's he saying?
193
00:15:39,941 --> 00:15:42,911
What is this brilliant poet
saying in this brilliant poem?
194
00:15:43,005 --> 00:15:45,995
'Morning morning's minion.'
195
00:15:48,037 --> 00:15:50,807
Birds?
(Laughter)
196
00:15:52,068 --> 00:15:54,598
What did you say?
Nothing.
197
00:15:54,704 --> 00:15:59,934
No, no, Joel, what did you say?
198
00:16:01,569 --> 00:16:03,059
Birds, sir.
(Laughter)
199
00:16:03,163 --> 00:16:07,003
Shh, shh! Joel, why birds?
200
00:16:08,063 --> 00:16:12,193
The 'M's, sir.
The 'M's look like birds.
201
00:16:15,729 --> 00:16:18,469
Yes! Yes, that's it.
202
00:16:19,191 --> 00:16:20,961
Well done, Joel. Excellent!
203
00:16:21,057 --> 00:16:24,557
'Morning morning's minion.'
204
00:16:24,660 --> 00:16:26,920
Poems paint pictures.
205
00:16:27,022 --> 00:16:30,822
Words paint pictures, and they
walk with us every day.
206
00:16:30,921 --> 00:16:34,521
The poet, Gerard Manley
Hopkins, wanted you to see,
207
00:16:34,623 --> 00:16:38,623
to feel, to breathe.
208
00:16:39,853 --> 00:16:42,053
Our land...
209
00:16:43,082 --> 00:16:45,122
Na...
210
00:16:49,213 --> 00:16:51,583
(Knocking at door)
211
00:16:51,683 --> 00:16:54,813
What you doing?
Nah, nah, nothing.
212
00:16:54,913 --> 00:16:56,813
How'd you go today?
213
00:16:56,912 --> 00:16:58,522
Oh, yeah, in English, Dad,
I nailed this...
214
00:16:58,615 --> 00:17:02,475
No, no, no, that other
business, that national anthem
thing.
215
00:17:02,580 --> 00:17:07,110
Oh, um, well, when everyone
stood up to sing it,
216
00:17:07,206 --> 00:17:13,096
I just stayed and I didn't get
up, like you said, Dad.
217
00:17:13,203 --> 00:17:15,673
Well, what about singing?
Did you sing?
218
00:17:15,773 --> 00:17:18,443
No, nothing.
219
00:17:20,739 --> 00:17:22,799
(Exhales)
220
00:17:22,902 --> 00:17:25,702
Well, look,
I'll back you up on this,
221
00:17:25,803 --> 00:17:30,443
but you know your mother's
gonna be spewing.
222
00:17:31,932 --> 00:17:33,402
How much trouble did you get
in?
223
00:17:33,503 --> 00:17:35,963
I don't know. They just told me
off.
224
00:17:36,063 --> 00:17:40,103
That's it.
Yeah.
225
00:17:41,829 --> 00:17:43,629
That's... that's deadly, Joel.
226
00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:47,470
You... you stood your ground.
227
00:17:48,729 --> 00:17:54,589
Hey, Choc, my son -
he's the man too.
228
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,089
Don't tell your mother, eh?
229
00:18:03,185 --> 00:18:05,145
Alright.
230
00:18:46,476 --> 00:18:50,376
Australians all let us rejoice
231
00:18:50,475 --> 00:18:54,405
For we are young and free
232
00:18:54,506 --> 00:18:59,466
We've golden soil
and wealth for toil
233
00:18:59,571 --> 00:19:03,371
Our home is girt by sea
234
00:19:03,469 --> 00:19:09,159
Our land bounds in nature's
gifts...
235
00:19:20,596 --> 00:19:22,886
Well, Joel?
236
00:19:22,990 --> 00:19:26,690
(Fingers tap)
237
00:19:37,490 --> 00:19:38,850
I wish you wouldn't do that.
238
00:19:38,952 --> 00:19:41,052
(Fingers tap)
What?
239
00:19:41,148 --> 00:19:42,358
That!
240
00:19:42,455 --> 00:19:45,615
Tapping annoys the shit out of
me.
241
00:19:46,586 --> 00:19:48,546
Sorry(!)
242
00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:52,346
So, what did they say again?
Who?
243
00:19:52,451 --> 00:19:54,781
The school.
244
00:19:55,978 --> 00:19:56,648
I don't know.
245
00:19:56,747 --> 00:20:01,507
What do you mean you don't
know? You took the call, didn't
you?
246
00:20:01,613 --> 00:20:04,813
Surely they must've said
something.
247
00:20:06,974 --> 00:20:08,014
Hello?
248
00:20:08,106 --> 00:20:08,936
The school, our son?
249
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,870
They rang to say they wanted
to talk to us about our son.
250
00:20:11,972 --> 00:20:18,382
They didn't say much. They just
said they wanted to see us about
our son.
251
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,840
And that's it?
That's it.
252
00:20:25,802 --> 00:20:29,572
Nothing else?
Nothing else.
253
00:20:37,095 --> 00:20:37,995
(Chime sounds)
254
00:20:38,095 --> 00:20:39,595
MAN, ON TANNOY: Could Joel
Shields
255
00:20:39,699 --> 00:20:41,469
please come
to the principal's office?
256
00:20:41,565 --> 00:20:44,885
Joel Shields
to the principal's office.
257
00:20:47,465 --> 00:20:48,495
MRS MACANN: Don't get me wrong,
258
00:20:48,596 --> 00:20:51,486
we pride ourselves on our
tolerance and understanding,
259
00:20:51,594 --> 00:20:53,594
but it's a tradition
at Clifton Grammar
260
00:20:53,693 --> 00:20:57,533
to sing the national anthem
at the start of each day.
261
00:20:57,626 --> 00:20:59,016
It's not up for negotiation.
262
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:02,290
This is the first
I've heard of this.
263
00:21:02,393 --> 00:21:06,593
Edward, did you know about
this?
264
00:21:07,556 --> 00:21:09,616
A little.
265
00:21:09,721 --> 00:21:10,881
There are many families out
there
266
00:21:10,983 --> 00:21:13,823
who would love to have a son
in Joel's position.
267
00:21:13,916 --> 00:21:16,486
It's a very good school.
268
00:21:16,784 --> 00:21:18,354
But we have an issue,
269
00:21:18,453 --> 00:21:22,013
and I wouldn't want it to
jeopardise Joel's place here.
270
00:21:22,111 --> 00:21:24,351
Mrs MaCann, I couldn't agree
more.
271
00:21:24,451 --> 00:21:30,681
I know... WE know how lucky
Joel is. Let me just say this.
272
00:21:30,779 --> 00:21:36,009
There will be no issue,
will there, Joel?
273
00:21:36,677 --> 00:21:39,707
No, Mum.
Joel.
274
00:21:40,105 --> 00:21:40,995
No, Mum.
275
00:21:41,104 --> 00:21:43,644
You will stand and sing
the national anthem.
276
00:21:43,740 --> 00:21:44,540
Yes, Mum.
277
00:21:44,641 --> 00:21:47,901
Now, what have you got to say
for yourself?
278
00:21:48,838 --> 00:21:51,068
Sorry, miss.
279
00:22:13,663 --> 00:22:14,603
I want you to tell our son
280
00:22:14,696 --> 00:22:18,526
that there's no shame in
standing up and singing the
national anthem.
281
00:22:18,629 --> 00:22:19,729
Can you do that?
282
00:22:19,827 --> 00:22:24,327
I could, but, Joely,
what do you reckon?
283
00:22:24,462 --> 00:22:28,462
Should a whitefella stand up
and do a blackfella corroboree?
284
00:22:28,856 --> 00:22:29,886
Well, should a blackfella stand
up
285
00:22:29,988 --> 00:22:32,948
and sing a whitefella's anthem -
their corroboree?
286
00:22:33,085 --> 00:22:36,745
I don't know.
It just doesn't feel right.
287
00:22:36,853 --> 00:22:37,593
Thank you.
288
00:22:37,688 --> 00:22:40,918
No matter what, I don't care who
asks you to sing it,
289
00:22:41,016 --> 00:22:42,916
you don't sing it, OK?
290
00:22:43,016 --> 00:22:45,076
OK.
291
00:22:55,978 --> 00:22:59,448
Yeah, I'm gonna go to my room.
Good idea.
292
00:23:02,074 --> 00:23:04,284
(Television plays)
293
00:23:04,381 --> 00:23:05,641
Joel! Joel!
294
00:23:05,743 --> 00:23:08,843
He's in his room.
Oh, no shit!
295
00:23:17,607 --> 00:23:20,067
(Television silences)
296
00:23:21,869 --> 00:23:26,409
Our son will stand and sing
the national anthem.
297
00:23:27,637 --> 00:23:28,307
No. No.
298
00:23:28,405 --> 00:23:31,695
What's so wrong about me wanting
my son to stand up for
something?
299
00:23:31,799 --> 00:23:36,059
To be strong -
to be a strong black man?
300
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,400
You can't see it, can you?
301
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:45,270
You sit high and mighty in your
corroboree ground recliner
chair.
302
00:23:45,366 --> 00:23:49,726
Big brave warrior standing up
for the black man.
303
00:23:49,827 --> 00:23:53,857
You can't even light a fire,
Eddie! You're scared of the
bush!
304
00:23:53,957 --> 00:23:58,787
You can't even walk in your
backyard without your shoes.
305
00:23:59,691 --> 00:24:00,921
You're living like a
whitefella.
306
00:24:01,020 --> 00:24:05,360
You live in a whitefella house,
you watch whitefella TV.
307
00:24:05,457 --> 00:24:08,457
So what?
'So what'?
308
00:24:08,556 --> 00:24:12,746
You can't pick and choose
when it suits you!
309
00:24:13,817 --> 00:24:16,347
Our son is at a good school.
310
00:24:16,454 --> 00:24:20,294
A really good school,
and you wanna drag him down
311
00:24:20,386 --> 00:24:24,846
all because of your newfound
thing for principles.
312
00:24:27,713 --> 00:24:32,583
It's only a song. A song!
313
00:24:33,744 --> 00:24:37,584
What do you want our son to be,
hmm? What?
314
00:24:37,677 --> 00:24:41,637
You think to be a proper
blackfella, you got to live in
a humpy?
315
00:24:41,741 --> 00:24:43,241
Drink in the park?
316
00:24:43,344 --> 00:24:48,284
Burn the Australian flag,
spit on all things white?
317
00:24:55,274 --> 00:24:59,034
He has a chance
for something real here.
318
00:25:00,032 --> 00:25:01,242
And you know what?
319
00:25:01,337 --> 00:25:02,667
Even if he goes to a flash
school,
320
00:25:02,766 --> 00:25:06,166
wears a tie, shoes, and socks,
sings the national anthem,
321
00:25:06,270 --> 00:25:09,430
he's still black.
322
00:25:10,368 --> 00:25:12,698
And I'll always tell him that.
323
00:25:23,626 --> 00:25:30,686
So, what - that's it? Show's
over?
324
00:25:34,853 --> 00:25:39,463
You're nearly 40, Eddie, and
what?
325
00:25:39,951 --> 00:25:42,751
You're done and dusted, mate.
326
00:25:44,982 --> 00:25:48,722
Don't do this to our son.
327
00:27:03,953 --> 00:27:06,653
See youse.
See you, Joely.
328
00:27:06,754 --> 00:27:08,924
Joely.
329
00:27:15,684 --> 00:27:18,424
You look very handsome
in your uniform.
330
00:27:19,485 --> 00:27:22,675
Very handsome. It suits you.
331
00:27:32,579 --> 00:27:34,149
Joely!
332
00:27:34,248 --> 00:27:38,108
Before you know it, you're gonna
have your own family,
333
00:27:38,214 --> 00:27:40,184
your own responsibilities,
334
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,970
and... and these next few years
can set you up for that.
335
00:28:54,615 --> 00:28:58,775
Australians all let us rejoice
336
00:28:58,878 --> 00:29:02,778
For we are young and free
337
00:29:02,876 --> 00:29:07,806
We've golden soil
and wealth for toil
338
00:29:07,907 --> 00:29:11,837
Our home is girt by sea
339
00:29:11,938 --> 00:29:16,838
Our land bounds in nature's
gifts
340
00:29:16,937 --> 00:29:20,737
Of beauty rich and rare
341
00:29:20,836 --> 00:29:25,826
In history's page, let every
stage
342
00:29:25,933 --> 00:29:29,403
Advance Australia fair
343
00:29:29,504 --> 00:29:34,704
In joyful strains then let us
sing
344
00:29:34,798 --> 00:29:40,238
Advance Australia fair.
345
00:30:11,289 --> 00:30:13,519
(Door clunks)
346
00:30:14,157 --> 00:30:18,487
Joely! What are you doing home?
347
00:30:19,419 --> 00:30:21,619
Are you sick?
348
00:30:24,549 --> 00:30:26,709
What's this?
349
00:30:41,344 --> 00:30:45,814
Being suspended,
it's not the end of the world.
350
00:30:46,442 --> 00:30:47,312
It can be fixed.
351
00:30:47,409 --> 00:30:51,439
We'll walk right in there,
be straight up.
352
00:30:51,539 --> 00:30:52,569
Talk to the school.
353
00:30:52,670 --> 00:30:56,870
Tell them it's just a big
misunderstanding.
354
00:30:57,570 --> 00:30:59,770
No disrespect intended.
355
00:31:00,470 --> 00:31:05,530
Whatever they want - extra work,
detention. Whatever they want.
356
00:31:19,430 --> 00:31:23,030
Suspending a student is not
something we do lightly.
357
00:31:23,131 --> 00:31:28,131
I... We understand.
What can we do to make this
right?
358
00:31:28,229 --> 00:31:33,189
Well, Mrs Shields,
the ball is in your court.
359
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:34,650
Our court?
360
00:31:34,754 --> 00:31:38,754
This school has all kinds of
students, doesn't it?
361
00:31:38,852 --> 00:31:41,022
What's the word for it?
'Multicultural'.
362
00:31:41,124 --> 00:31:47,524
Yeah, blackfellas are thrown
into that mix too -
multiculturalism.
363
00:31:47,617 --> 00:31:49,647
We used to be thrown in with
the flora and fauna
364
00:31:49,749 --> 00:31:51,249
until there was a national
referendum.
365
00:31:51,351 --> 00:31:53,551
We got counted as people
and got the right to vote.
366
00:31:53,648 --> 00:31:56,678
Your father probably voted
in the referendum.
367
00:31:56,779 --> 00:31:58,419
Yes, he did.
368
00:31:58,515 --> 00:31:59,505
Thank him for me.
369
00:31:59,613 --> 00:32:01,183
Anyhow, my question to you,
to all of you,
370
00:32:01,282 --> 00:32:05,712
is that as my son has the right
to be counted and the right to
vote,
371
00:32:05,809 --> 00:32:08,409
he has the right to make a
stand.
372
00:32:08,511 --> 00:32:09,311
How do you see that?
373
00:32:09,412 --> 00:32:14,282
Well, I look around this
school,
I see all kinds of kids.
374
00:32:14,376 --> 00:32:17,206
Chinese, Japanese, Muslim.
375
00:32:17,343 --> 00:32:18,773
They all got their own way of
thinking.
376
00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:22,270
They don't look up to Captain
Cook or the Queen of England.
377
00:32:22,373 --> 00:32:23,673
They got their own mob.
378
00:32:23,769 --> 00:32:24,699
So, when you look at it,
379
00:32:24,801 --> 00:32:28,171
Joel has the right not to
praise, stand, or sing
something
380
00:32:28,273 --> 00:32:29,373
that he doesn't believe in.
381
00:32:29,470 --> 00:32:32,630
Except there's a flaw
in that argument.
382
00:32:32,732 --> 00:32:33,532
How's that?
383
00:32:33,633 --> 00:32:36,433
Well, there are lots of beliefs
amongst our students.
384
00:32:36,533 --> 00:32:38,573
We respect that, but in Joel's
case,
385
00:32:38,665 --> 00:32:43,425
I don't see the Queen or
Captain Cook as being religious
figures.
386
00:32:43,530 --> 00:32:46,000
This isn't a religious issue.
This is a political one.
387
00:32:46,101 --> 00:32:49,501
Yeah, well...
Mrs MaCann, we're proud of our
son.
388
00:32:49,595 --> 00:32:53,555
We're proud that he's here,
and we want him to stay.
389
00:32:53,659 --> 00:32:55,259
Joel wants to stay.
390
00:32:55,361 --> 00:32:57,131
There must be something
we can do to fix this.
391
00:32:57,229 --> 00:33:02,589
Joel could write a letter of
apology and read it to the
school.
392
00:33:02,688 --> 00:33:05,358
If he gets detention, so be it.
393
00:33:05,457 --> 00:33:08,687
We're very proud of our
relationship with the
Indigenous community.
394
00:33:08,786 --> 00:33:14,186
I think it enriches us all,
students and staff.
395
00:33:14,420 --> 00:33:18,750
Ultimately, my responsibility
is to the Board of Governors.
396
00:33:18,848 --> 00:33:21,118
They provide the financial
support
397
00:33:21,219 --> 00:33:23,519
to allow us to offer
the scholarships.
398
00:33:23,615 --> 00:33:28,505
If I exempt Joel,
it sets a precedent.
399
00:33:28,613 --> 00:33:31,153
And I don't see the need
for letter writing or
detention.
400
00:33:31,249 --> 00:33:35,539
All Joel needs to do is stand
up and sing the national
anthem.
401
00:33:35,643 --> 00:33:41,673
After all, at the end of the
day, we're all Australians.
402
00:33:48,672 --> 00:33:49,512
It does sound simple.
403
00:33:49,606 --> 00:33:52,536
Just get Joel up, just sing
along with the reset of the
herd.
404
00:33:52,637 --> 00:33:57,037
Forget about his principles,
forget about the shit he
copped.
405
00:33:57,141 --> 00:33:59,541
Youse mob should be shaking his
hand.
406
00:33:59,635 --> 00:34:00,435
You don't want some kid
407
00:34:00,536 --> 00:34:02,496
who's gonna roll over whenever
he's told to, or do you?
408
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,660
Um, we've all been talking
like Joel isn't in the room.
409
00:34:05,764 --> 00:34:07,474
He hasn't said a word.
410
00:34:07,566 --> 00:34:12,296
Joel, you should say something.
411
00:34:14,761 --> 00:34:15,561
I like this school,
412
00:34:15,662 --> 00:34:20,272
and, Mum, I know it's not
cheap, even with the
scholarship.
413
00:34:20,396 --> 00:34:23,586
I don't want to get
into any more trouble.
414
00:34:24,328 --> 00:34:27,198
So, I wanna sing the national
anthem.
415
00:34:27,328 --> 00:34:33,128
But I tried to sing the
national anthem, and I can't.
416
00:34:33,820 --> 00:34:36,560
I'm sorry, Mum. I just can't.
417
00:34:52,351 --> 00:34:53,611
While I admire Joel's
convictions,
418
00:34:53,714 --> 00:34:58,614
I am left with no other choice
but to expel him.
419
00:34:58,712 --> 00:34:59,222
What?
420
00:34:59,316 --> 00:35:03,636
I'm sorry, Mrs Shields.
I have no other choice.
421
00:35:03,743 --> 00:35:04,983
(Stammers) But you can't.
422
00:35:05,082 --> 00:35:09,612
For one song - you're going
to expel my son for one song.
423
00:35:09,708 --> 00:35:14,108
There has to be another way.
Please don't do this. It's not
right!
424
00:35:14,211 --> 00:35:15,571
I'm sorry.
Can't we talk about it?
425
00:35:15,673 --> 00:35:21,443
It can't be over. This is not
over! You can't do this to my
family!
426
00:35:22,307 --> 00:35:24,207
Mr Moore, can't you do
something?
427
00:35:24,306 --> 00:35:28,436
What are you here for?!
Isn't this your job?!
428
00:35:28,536 --> 00:35:31,466
Help these kids! Help us!
429
00:35:31,798 --> 00:35:35,168
We've worked too hard!
He's worked too hard to get
here.
430
00:35:35,269 --> 00:35:38,599
Please don't do this to our
family!
431
00:35:39,466 --> 00:35:41,656
Please, one more chance!
He's a good kid.
432
00:35:41,762 --> 00:35:43,602
This'll wreck his life.
I know you don't want this.
433
00:35:43,695 --> 00:35:48,195
You're a good person. There has
to be another way. Please,
anything!
434
00:35:48,298 --> 00:35:52,588
Don't do this to my son, please!
Don't!
435
00:36:35,643 --> 00:36:37,443
(Knocking at door)
436
00:36:37,544 --> 00:36:39,544
(Sighs)
437
00:36:41,278 --> 00:36:43,508
(Knocking at door)
438
00:36:52,769 --> 00:36:56,569
Um, hi.
I was wondering if Joel was
home.
439
00:36:56,669 --> 00:37:00,729
Joel Shields?
Yeah.
440
00:37:01,699 --> 00:37:03,039
Joel? Joely!
441
00:37:03,138 --> 00:37:06,238
JOEL: Yeah?
You have a visitor.
442
00:37:06,335 --> 00:37:08,325
What?
A visitor!
443
00:37:08,433 --> 00:37:12,073
Who?
You go to the same school?
444
00:37:12,167 --> 00:37:14,657
Yeah.
Who is it?
445
00:37:14,761 --> 00:37:17,601
Come and see!
446
00:37:20,726 --> 00:37:23,996
Hey.
Hey! Um...
447
00:37:27,162 --> 00:37:29,362
Heard you got into
some trouble today.
448
00:37:29,459 --> 00:37:30,459
Yeah.
449
00:37:30,557 --> 00:37:33,897
How'd it go?
Uh, not good.
450
00:37:33,995 --> 00:37:37,745
Yeah, I heard.
Yeah.
451
00:37:39,290 --> 00:37:40,120
Yeah.
452
00:37:40,224 --> 00:37:43,254
Mum's spewing.
453
00:37:43,354 --> 00:37:45,584
Isn't she proud of you?
Proud of me?
454
00:37:45,683 --> 00:37:47,423
Because you stood up for
yourself.
455
00:37:47,518 --> 00:37:48,648
Nah, just spewing.
456
00:37:48,749 --> 00:37:51,519
Not many people would have done
what you did.
457
00:37:51,615 --> 00:37:52,645
Yeah, and what now?
458
00:37:52,747 --> 00:37:56,347
Kicked out of school,
losing the scholarship.
459
00:37:56,449 --> 00:37:59,019
I've never seen my mum like
this. It's shameful.
460
00:37:59,118 --> 00:38:03,148
It's not shame. It's brave.
461
00:38:05,115 --> 00:38:06,105
Joel, inside now!
462
00:38:06,214 --> 00:38:09,214
Um, I gotta go,
but I'll see you at school?
463
00:38:09,312 --> 00:38:11,912
Oh, no...
Goodbye!
464
00:38:12,013 --> 00:38:14,113
Bye-bye...
465
00:38:14,508 --> 00:38:17,078
So, that's what this is all
about. What?
466
00:38:17,177 --> 00:38:17,877
Some girl.
467
00:38:17,979 --> 00:38:21,009
This is why you're throwing your
life away - for some girl?
468
00:38:21,109 --> 00:38:22,909
Nah, she's got nothing
to do with it.
469
00:38:23,009 --> 00:38:25,939
Then why did she come around?
I don't know!
470
00:38:26,042 --> 00:38:27,402
So, she just happened to turn up
471
00:38:27,503 --> 00:38:30,043
after you'd been expelled from
school?!
472
00:38:30,139 --> 00:38:33,529
Oh, no... I don't know.
So what if she came around?
473
00:38:33,633 --> 00:38:34,433
Oh, Jesus Christ, Joel!
474
00:38:34,533 --> 00:38:38,333
You just got expelled from one
of the best schools in the
country
475
00:38:38,433 --> 00:38:39,303
and you don't give a shit?!
476
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,530
All you care about is styling up
for some Beyonce wannabe!
477
00:38:42,629 --> 00:38:47,299
You think I did this for her?
You think I wanted to get
expelled?
478
00:38:47,397 --> 00:38:51,227
How about standing up for me
instead of standing up for the
school?
479
00:38:51,329 --> 00:38:53,529
Joel... Joel?
480
00:38:53,625 --> 00:38:55,965
Whatever!
481
00:39:20,649 --> 00:39:23,319
I was terrible to Joel today.
482
00:39:25,581 --> 00:39:30,281
I think there might be a girl
at that school that Joel likes.
483
00:39:31,413 --> 00:39:35,583
Yeah, I seen her. Cute as.
484
00:39:45,144 --> 00:39:46,244
You know, I used to perv on you
485
00:39:46,342 --> 00:39:49,372
when you'd take your jumper off
at half-time.
486
00:39:51,505 --> 00:39:54,975
Yeah, I know. Still got it too.
487
00:39:55,075 --> 00:39:58,435
Yeah, still got it.
488
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:00,399
You remember that night
at the clubhouse,
489
00:40:00,502 --> 00:40:03,602
when they kicked you out
for not taking your hat off?
490
00:40:03,698 --> 00:40:05,168
Yeah, the pricks.
491
00:40:05,269 --> 00:40:11,939
That was a night now when I
thought, 'He's gonna be my man.'
492
00:40:13,002 --> 00:40:15,002
Hey?
493
00:40:15,968 --> 00:40:16,558
So, you wanted me
494
00:40:16,661 --> 00:40:21,561
because I got kicked out of the
pub for not taking my hat off?
495
00:40:21,965 --> 00:40:22,265
Yep.
496
00:40:22,366 --> 00:40:25,096
I thought you wanted me
because I was deadly.
497
00:40:25,196 --> 00:40:28,956
Yeah, and 'cause you're deadly.
498
00:40:30,128 --> 00:40:35,988
It wasn't the hat.
It was the principle.
499
00:40:36,159 --> 00:40:37,419
I thought,
'This fella's a bit alright.
500
00:40:37,521 --> 00:40:44,321
Does things his own way.
Stands up for himself.'
501
00:40:46,056 --> 00:40:48,956
Now we have Joel.
Yeah.
502
00:40:50,121 --> 00:40:52,251
He needs us.
503
00:40:53,086 --> 00:40:57,676
He stood for something.
He stood up for himself.
504
00:41:01,215 --> 00:41:04,015
So, what do you wanna do?
505
00:41:05,049 --> 00:41:07,509
They rubbished our son.
506
00:41:08,345 --> 00:41:10,945
No-one rubbishes our son.
507
00:41:30,172 --> 00:41:31,012
It's not gonna be easy, Joely.
508
00:41:31,105 --> 00:41:34,265
They're gonna throw everything
they got at you - I mean
everything.
509
00:41:34,368 --> 00:41:39,558
Me and your father, we're
standing right behind you, bub.
510
00:41:39,664 --> 00:41:42,434
You can do this.
511
00:41:50,099 --> 00:41:54,829
MAN: 1904 is universally
considered to be the
definitive...
512
00:41:54,932 --> 00:41:57,202
Morning, morning, sir.
513
00:41:59,194 --> 00:42:01,294
Morning, Joel.
514
00:42:05,423 --> 00:42:10,123
OK, can anyone tell me what
Orwell means by the party
slogan,
515
00:42:10,223 --> 00:42:14,193
'He who controls the past
controls the future?'
516
00:42:37,345 --> 00:42:39,005
What's this?
You know what this is.
517
00:42:39,114 --> 00:42:41,054
You right?
Yeah, I'm right.
518
00:42:41,145 --> 00:42:41,845
Enlighten me.
519
00:42:41,947 --> 00:42:46,207
Your son's been expelled. He's
no longer welcome at the
school.
520
00:42:47,638 --> 00:42:48,338
You know what?
521
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,440
We're gonna be back here
tomorrow, and the day after
that,
522
00:42:50,539 --> 00:42:52,309
and the day after that,
and the day after that.
523
00:42:52,405 --> 00:42:54,775
He'll be arrested for trespass.
You're gonna arrest him?
524
00:42:54,876 --> 00:42:56,396
How's that gonna look
when you're fundraising?
525
00:42:56,503 --> 00:43:01,173
Half of your benefactors walked
the Sydney Harbour Bridge to
say sorry.
526
00:43:01,270 --> 00:43:04,340
You probably walked the Bridge
as well.
527
00:43:04,632 --> 00:43:05,332
Ah! You did!
528
00:43:05,434 --> 00:43:07,534
You walked the Bridge
in the name of Reconciliation,
529
00:43:07,631 --> 00:43:12,131
and now you want to kick out a
black kid from your big, flash
school!
530
00:43:12,233 --> 00:43:14,903
You mad or what?
531
00:43:17,132 --> 00:43:19,462
See you tomorrow.
532
00:43:40,454 --> 00:43:42,864
Pick you up.
533
00:43:45,617 --> 00:43:50,087
Joely, you be strong, yeah?
I'm alright, Dad.
534
00:43:50,187 --> 00:43:52,317
OK.
535
00:44:07,048 --> 00:44:10,048
Not right now, son. Come on.
536
00:44:43,034 --> 00:44:47,174
WOMAN: I don't want you to be
late for your first day.
537
00:44:47,594 --> 00:44:52,004
Give me a hug.
Oh, I'm really proud of you.
538
00:45:00,896 --> 00:45:05,186
Hey, what's this? What's going
on? Well, what's with the
uniform?
539
00:45:05,290 --> 00:45:07,190
Nothing. You know.
540
00:45:07,290 --> 00:45:10,160
No, I don't know.
541
00:45:10,487 --> 00:45:12,217
It's a good school, Eddie.
You know that.
542
00:45:12,321 --> 00:45:15,151
They made an offer,
they come and talked to us,
543
00:45:15,254 --> 00:45:17,224
and I'm sorry, but I just
want...
544
00:45:17,319 --> 00:45:20,149
You don't have to apologise.
Kerry.
545
00:45:20,921 --> 00:45:21,891
It's nothing personal, Eddie.
546
00:45:21,987 --> 00:45:25,747
You know, I just want something
for my son. You know how it is.
547
00:45:25,854 --> 00:45:30,024
I mean, with a school like this
behind him, he can go anywhere.
548
00:45:30,117 --> 00:45:36,407
They're using you. This is
window dressing, do you know
that?
549
00:45:36,949 --> 00:45:37,479
Do you want that?
550
00:45:37,576 --> 00:45:40,376
What I want is a good education
for my son.
551
00:45:40,476 --> 00:45:46,336
If they wanna say I'm being
used, then so be it. I can live
with that.
552
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,180
Well, what about your son -
can he live with it?
553
00:46:00,073 --> 00:46:02,473
I'm really sorry, Eddie.
554
00:46:03,939 --> 00:46:07,269
Yeah, me too. Real sorry, bud.
555
00:46:10,564 --> 00:46:11,464
MRS MACANN: At Clifton Grammar,
556
00:46:11,563 --> 00:46:14,303
we have a great respect for our
country's First Nations people.
557
00:46:14,397 --> 00:46:21,057
Theirs is the oldest continuous
living culture in the world.
558
00:46:21,163 --> 00:46:25,163
Nevertheless, within the
Aboriginal community there are
social problems
559
00:46:25,261 --> 00:46:28,421
and hurdles to be overcome.
560
00:46:28,524 --> 00:46:32,704
And Clifton Grammar contributes
to closing the gap
561
00:46:32,796 --> 00:46:34,926
in the scholarships we offer,
562
00:46:35,026 --> 00:46:39,316
and in the presence here,
for NAIDOC Week, of the elders,
563
00:46:39,421 --> 00:46:41,731
who do a welcome to country.
564
00:46:41,826 --> 00:46:47,016
Joel's absence gives another
Indigenous boy
565
00:46:47,121 --> 00:46:54,321
the chance to make something of
himself, a chance at life.
566
00:46:54,481 --> 00:46:57,351
And that's it. Thank you.
567
00:47:05,817 --> 00:47:09,847
Australians all let us rejoice
568
00:47:09,948 --> 00:47:13,948
For we are young and free
569
00:47:14,045 --> 00:47:18,935
We've golden soil
and wealth for toil
570
00:47:19,044 --> 00:47:23,174
Our home is girt by sea
571
00:47:23,272 --> 00:47:28,012
Our land bounds in nature's
gifts
572
00:47:28,106 --> 00:47:31,836
Of beauty rich and rare
573
00:47:31,939 --> 00:47:36,999
In history's page, let every
stage
574
00:47:37,103 --> 00:47:41,173
Advance Australia fair
575
00:47:41,266 --> 00:47:45,866
In joyful strains then let us
sing
576
00:47:45,967 --> 00:47:49,257
Advance Australia fair
577
00:47:49,362 --> 00:47:54,732
Beneath our radiant Southern
Cross
578
00:47:54,832 --> 00:47:59,332
We'll toil with hearts and
hands
579
00:47:59,425 --> 00:48:03,925
To make this Commonwealth of
ours
580
00:48:04,027 --> 00:48:08,117
Renowned of all the lands
581
00:48:08,223 --> 00:48:11,963
For those who've come
across...
582
00:48:12,056 --> 00:48:13,216
Deal with those students.
No.
583
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,120
Things have gotten way out of
hand. We need to get Joel back.
584
00:48:17,220 --> 00:48:18,190
That's not going to happen.
585
00:48:18,286 --> 00:48:20,756
You're the head of special
projects, Mr Parish. You deal
with it.
586
00:48:20,855 --> 00:48:23,315
The bloody song only became
the national anthem in 1984.
587
00:48:23,415 --> 00:48:26,145
Look at the kids.
It means nothing to them.
588
00:48:26,250 --> 00:48:30,920
In joyful strains then let us
sing
589
00:48:31,016 --> 00:48:36,776
Advance Australia fair.
590
00:48:38,816 --> 00:48:43,306
Well, well, well! Solidarity, is
it?
591
00:48:43,408 --> 00:48:48,508
Joel Shields' little protest
movement.
592
00:48:49,142 --> 00:48:51,502
The bonding of his people.
593
00:48:52,141 --> 00:48:57,841
Do you think because you're
Aboriginal that I won't expel
you?
594
00:48:58,776 --> 00:49:02,766
There are a hundred kids out
there
who would love your
scholarships.
595
00:49:02,873 --> 00:49:04,403
There are a hundred kids out
there
596
00:49:04,499 --> 00:49:06,709
who would love to have
the opportunities
597
00:49:06,806 --> 00:49:09,066
that you've been given.
598
00:49:10,036 --> 00:49:13,926
Now, I'm going to count to five,
and when I reach five,
599
00:49:14,034 --> 00:49:19,974
I want you all on your feet
and singing your heart out.
600
00:49:21,130 --> 00:49:33,460
One, two, three, four, five.
601
00:49:45,187 --> 00:49:48,447
Your parents have sacrificed a
lot
for you.
602
00:49:49,384 --> 00:49:50,694
Do you think you'd be able
603
00:49:50,789 --> 00:49:54,419
to find an education like this
in Brewarrina?
604
00:49:54,821 --> 00:49:56,281
How do you think
they're going to respond
605
00:49:56,381 --> 00:49:59,251
when they have to come all this
way and pick you up
606
00:49:59,348 --> 00:50:03,048
after you've had to tell them
that you've been expelled?
607
00:50:03,148 --> 00:50:07,618
Miss, you'd be wrong there.
Our parents are right behind
us.
608
00:50:07,717 --> 00:50:10,077
They're proud we're standing up
for something,
609
00:50:10,179 --> 00:50:16,109
and if we get expelled,
so be it, they reckon.
610
00:50:17,879 --> 00:50:18,839
Mine too.
611
00:50:18,944 --> 00:50:21,174
GIRL: Mine too.
And mine.
612
00:50:21,273 --> 00:50:24,883
BOY: Mine too.
BOY: Yeah, and mine.
613
00:50:28,205 --> 00:50:32,465
I'm impressed with the way
you're handling this situation.
614
00:50:32,873 --> 00:50:34,373
It shows me you'll do well in
life,
615
00:50:34,466 --> 00:50:40,066
that you're all true leaders
of the future.
616
00:50:41,364 --> 00:50:42,364
You've made your point.
617
00:50:42,463 --> 00:50:47,233
What's say we wrap this up
and all get back to class.
618
00:50:52,261 --> 00:50:56,291
You've made your point, Chloe.
Let's go.
619
00:50:56,392 --> 00:51:03,362
I'm sorry, miss, but no-one's
moving until Joel walks through
that door.
620
00:51:06,827 --> 00:51:07,827
I have tried to be reasonable.
621
00:51:07,926 --> 00:51:10,786
I have tried to respect
your point of view,
622
00:51:10,891 --> 00:51:13,121
but if you will not meet me
halfway,
623
00:51:13,221 --> 00:51:17,151
I will not hesitate to expel
you, every single one of you,
624
00:51:17,253 --> 00:51:21,693
and you really have no idea what
that means, do you?
625
00:51:21,788 --> 00:51:26,688
It will stay on your records
for the rest of your life.
626
00:52:37,322 --> 00:52:39,702
Mr Shields.
627
00:52:42,419 --> 00:52:42,959
Joely?
628
00:52:43,056 --> 00:52:47,616
So, just to make sure, he
doesn't have to sing the
national anthem?
629
00:52:47,724 --> 00:52:49,594
Correct. Hello, Joel.
630
00:52:49,691 --> 00:52:52,351
Hello, Mrs MaCann.
631
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,260
Morning morning, Joel.
632
00:53:48,669 --> 00:53:50,959
Morning morning, sir.
