Best Answer

she has won quite a few medals

and she has helped the indigeous generation of Australia to become athletes and to believe in their dreams.

She also served as a rolemodel to her people for various acts of courage involving the white people. such as when she won a medal and ran her lap of honour carring the aborigninal flag and the Australian flag, this was seen as a new thing and wasnt approved but the crowd loved her ability to ignore them and do it again.
