Nearly 20 years after he first walked to Canberra to confront John Howard over Aboriginal disadvantage, the AFL legend is planning another Long Walk
“We hope that people from both parties can walk with us. There is obviously people in the Liberal Party who support [the Voice]. We hope Liberals, we hope Australians who support it can join us,” he says.
In 2004, Long’s walk ended in Albury when, eight days into the 650-kilometre journey, Howard agreed to meet the former Bombers star.
Will the 53-year-old make the distance this time?
“As much of it as I can. I’m feeling the footy injuries, but the Voice is too important. We are big enough and old enough as a country to take the next step. This is about how we move forward as a country, leave this place better for our children and grandchildren.”
