Key points:
- Voice campaigner Marcus Stewart, a Nira illim bulluk man, said the ad left him feeling sick
- The group behind the ad has defended it, saying those criticising it are “elites” playing the “race card”
- Opposition Leader Peter Dutton earlier this week criticised companies funding the Yes campaign
I haven’t seen the ad, but from the description it sounds like textbook racism to me. Black man getting a handout from a white man who is in an elevated position is hardly subtle.
Yeah, sorry, it has to claim to not be racist (even though it obviously is).
No need to apologise, I wasn’t correcting you. Just piggybacking off your comment to share my thoughts!
