Deadly, Unna?, a novel written by Phillip Gwynne, explores the theme of racial prejudice as it exists in a community in South Australia that discriminates against Aborigines. ... With all the prejudice against Aborigines around him, it takes a while for Gary to talk to Dumby, an Aboriginal ‘Nunga’ in his football team. ... But their friendship doesn’t happen overnight – rather, it slowly develops as the novel progresses and eventually Gary has the courage to respond to Pickles, “As a matter of fact, he is…[a mate of mine]”
The grand final is a big point in Gary’s life. He not only stops the other team from winning, but this event brings to light the way the football club really feel about the Aborigines. ... Though it doesn’t seem to bother Dumby, Gary is shocked at the way his coach overlooks Dumby’s achievements and the contributions of the players from the Point. This blatant act of racial prejudice appals Gary, especially because it has affected football, the activity he likes above everything else. ...
Gary realises the awful consequences of racism when Dumby gets shot robbing Big Mac’s pub with his friends.
