From the Hun last night, part of Dempsey's defence....
"Mifsud outlined the pain a “disgusting” racist slur delivered to Dempsey on social media following the tackle would cause, which could be investigated by Victoria Police.
“I can guarantee you his immediate and extended family would be feeling equally aggrieved,” Mifsud said.
“Aboriginal people are six times more likely to suicide over racism than non-Aboriginal people.”
As the racist slur was read out Dempsey stared at the floor with his arms folded."
