Outgoing Australian of the Year Adam Goodes says he plans to continue fighting for the causes close to him, even after handing back the title. The star Sydney Swans footballer has spent the year campaigning against domestic violence and racism and calling for Indigenous recognition in the Australian constitution. Goodes used his valedictory speech in Canberra to thank Australians for their support, but said there was still much to do. One in five women experience harassment within the workplace – one in five, he said. Its still a massive challenge for us all, but the real challenge lies with us men. In 2015, our task is to continue to educate and empower men [to] realise the role they play in ending violence against women.
