Pastor Don Brady combined his pastoral role with political activism and the support and encouragement of Aboriginal culture. He was born on Palm Island, of Kuku-Yalanji descent, and graduated from the Aboriginal Inland Mission College in 1949. After an initial posting to Cherbourg Mission, he became pastor at the West End Methodist Mission Church in Brisbane in 1962. A Churchill Fellowship in 1969 took him to the United States which led to him to believe that society was changed by 'outsiders', not those on the government payroll. With Denis Walker, Cheryl Buchanan and others he formed the Brisbane Tribal Council, which in turn led to the formation of the National Tribal Council in 1970.

Through the 1970s Don supported the expression of Indigenous culture by such groups as the Kuku-Yalanji dancers. He showed his contempt for the Queensland Aborigines Act by publicly burning a copy of the legislation. Such gestures culminated in his being sacked from the Methodist Church in 1972, leading him to set up his own church, the Black Christian Community Church, where he continued his ministry. He was a popular pastor who encouraged his people to be proud of their culture.

Baseball player

Donald Eugene Bradey (born October 4, 1934) is an American former professional baseball player. He was a 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m), 180 lb (82 kg) right-handed pitcher who had a 15-year career (1953–1967) in minor league baseball, but who made only three appearances in the Major Leagues for the 1964Houston Colt .45s.

Bradey had just completed his 12th season in the minor leagues when Houston called him up during September 1964. His first two MLB games were as a relief pitcher, and Bradey surrendered unearned runs in each game. Then, on October 4, 1964, the closing day of the 1964 season (and Bradey's 30th birthday), he started against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He faced only eight batters, recording two outs but giving up four hits, two bases on balls, a wild pitch, two stolen bases and five earned runs. Bradey's final MLB game and only start would be the last game Houston would play as the Colt .45s — the team was renamed the Astros in 1965.

In the minor leagues, Bradey appeared in 616 games and posted a 127–118 win–loss record. He won 19 games for the 1959 New Orleans Pelicans of the Class AA Southern Association.
