An Indigenous Elder Met With Rob Thomas Last Night To Teach Him About "Black Australia"

The meeting comes after comments the singer made last week about “black Australians”.

Rob Thomas met with award-winning Aboriginal photo journalist Barbara McGrady in Sydney last night to apologise for comments he made last week about drinking until he was a "black Australian."

"What you do is, when you get on the plane on your way here, you start drinking," Thomas told his Melbourne audience.

"And then I drink until I think I'm Australian," he says, before adding: "And I keep drinking until I think I'm a black Australian."

The comments received a large amount of backlash from the Indigenous community and online.
