Celebrities against racism play footy
Retired sports stars Cathy Freeman and Steve Renouf will join actor William McInnes and newsreader Anton Enus in lacing up their football boots to spread the anti-racism message in Brisbane next month.
Celebrities will join Queensland MPs in a curtain raiser to the July 1 soccer match between the Queensland Roar and South Africa's SuperSport United at Suncorp Stadium.
The game is the first major event in the Against Racism campaign, aimed at sending a message to Queenslanders racism will not be tolerated.
"This match is a great way to celebrate the cultural diversity in our state and highlight that actions of racism will not be tolerated," Queensland Multiculturalism Minister Lindy Nelson-Carr said.
Among the MPs to take the field will be health minister Stephen Robertson, while other celebrities involved are former ironwoman Lisa Curry-Kenny, musician James Blundell and actor Ditch Davey.
