The Assembly on ABC and ABC iview S1E5 – One of Australia’s most renowned interviewers, Leigh Sales, mentors Autistic journalism students as they interview famous Australians.
In this episode of The Assembly, mentor Leigh Sales reveals the next celebrity guest is Sydney Swans legend, and former Australian of the year, Adam Goodes. We learn Stephanie is a Swans fan, and fellow classmate Angus loves all types of football. But not all the students are interested in sports, so Leigh helps them see the person beyond the football field to encourage each of the students to find their own connection with Adam.
The result is a beautifully quirky collection of questions and a side of Adam Goodes we’ve rarely had the chance to see. His interview is warm and funny as he opens up about his football career, family, standing up against racism, his biggest regret and what he really thinks about swans, the birds, not the football team.
