Kenny’s fellow columnist at the Australian, Nick Cater, was also up in arms about the social media platform’s decision to take down the rightwing thinktank’s video. The video, featuring Northern Territory senator Jacinta Price saying we don’t need an Indigenous voice to parliament, was removed by Facebook; and then a video about the removal was also removed.
