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.
