Good afternoon. A full-page no campaign ad in the Australian Financial Review, which featured a cartoon figure of an Indigenous voice campaigner appearing to dance for money, has been condemned as a “racist trope”.
The New South Wales Liberal MP Matt Kean and independent federal MPs Monique Ryan and Zali Steggall were among those who criticised the ad. Kean called it “a throwback to the Jim Crow era of the deep south”.
