Originally from Queensland, Anthony is an Aboriginal affairs commentator, an honorary researcher at the Institute for Positive Psychology and Education at the Australian Catholic University in Sydney. He is proud of both his Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal ancestry.

As an active social commentator on Aboriginal issues, he has, for more than two decades, been challenging the dominant view that Aboriginal people are fundamentally different from non-Aboriginal people and are the endless victims of colonisation and racism. He has had several thought-provoking articles published in The Australian Newspaper, The Conversation, Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun and the ABC Drum online
