Deadly Dads

A racist and controversial cartoon in 2016 unfairly depicted an Aboriginal man as a dead
beat Dad.
This could not be further from the truth. There are many Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander men who are dedicated, loving and caring fathers to their children.
Just like Western Australian Dads, Davo and Andy.
They have five daughters between them and they’ve been bringing up their daughters on
their own as single Dads.
Despite the challenges, these dedicated Deadly Dads want to give their daughters the best
upbringing and opportunities in life, just like they had in their own childhood.
