Episode 1463 — 'Practice What You Preach' at Sports for All
In episode 1463 of Blind Magic Communications, host Murray Stewart delivers a passionate solo monologue from Alice Springs about a recent hiring process run by Sports for All that he believes failed to live up to its equal-opportunity claims. Murray explains why a job advertised as suitable for people with disabilities — an inclusion coach role — struck a nerve, describes his own 50 years of experience as a participant, coach and administrator in sport, and recounts founding the Desert Sports Foundation to remove barriers to participation.Topics covered include the specifics of the disputed recruitment (an advertised role for candidates with disability), Murray27s expectations and disappointment after applying and interviewing, apparent procedural failures (references not contacted), the broader problem of virtue signaling versus genuine inclusion, and the practical steps he plans to take — including contacting the funding body and minister — to seek accountability and ensure future fairness.There are no external guests on this episode; it27s Murray27s direct address to the community and the organisation in question. Key takeaways: a call for organisations that claim to support equal opportunity to actually practice it, an insistence on transparent and fair recruitment for disability-targeted roles, and a personal account of long-term dedication to inclusive sport in Central Australia.Listeners can expect a candid, sometimes emotional critique, concrete examples from Murray27s decades of work in sport inclusion, and a clear statement of intent to follow up on the grievance so that future hiring by Sports for All is handled properly and respectfully.
