•SBS has reported an online comedian after she used the broadcaster’s logo in a widely-criticised video. In a ‘skit’ posted to Instagram, Lisa Jane Spencer said she’s chosen to “identify” as Aboriginal.
The video includes scenes of face paint, a mock smoking ceremony, depictions of offensive stereotypes, and the unauthorised use of the SBS “Insight” program logo. It comes two weeks after Spencer used the logo in a video mocking the Indian community. SBS released a statement on Thursday saying it's aware of the posts, which “are in no way associated with our content and have been reported.” It also noted SBS “unequivocally condemns all forms of racism”. The video has received widespread condemnation including from Indigenous leaders, who argue the content reinforces harmful stereotypes with real impacts on communities.
- Spencer has refused to apologise or take the post down, saying her video “satirises white people claiming Aboriginal heritage benefits”.
Shabana Mahmood has CONDEMNED the Henry Nowak protests in Southampton, saying those responsible will be arrested.
Meanwhile, here she is on a pro-Palestine protest which turned violent and forced a supermarket to close.
She has since deleted this video. Please don't RT it.

Candace Owens put her young children in danger for social media clout‼️
Candace Owens is expected to be in Saint Petersburg Russia today for the start of the SPIEF.
THERE’S ONLY ONE PROBLEM.
Saint Petersburg is now literally UNDER ATTACK by Ukrainian drones.
I jsut heard from a friend that if you transfer from @Westpac to a crypto exchange, they will block the transaction, regardless.
Then the fraud team call you up and ask you a bunch of questions.
One of them: What token will you be purchasing? How much do you intend to invest in crypto?
And when they refused to answer, the bank told them "we will cancel this transaction".
I mean, WTF, this is no longer fraund prevention, this is purely HARVESTING private information. Australian Privacy Principles dictate that you must only collect bare minimum information required to provide the relevant service.
How are these two questions related to fraud? If someone said $PEPE, or a high risk meme token, does that mean they reject the payment?
This is a joke and another example of how Australian banks are inching their way into your privacy.
I would advise anyone looking to open a bank account to not consider Westpac. I myself hate them, for this and many other reasons.
Russia’s reckless violation of Romanian airspace and disregard for civilians is unacceptable. The U.S. stands with Romania and our NATO allies against this provocative behavior. We must bolster our deterrence and make clear that we will not give up one square inch of NATO.
@NewZealandMFA Why are you not in talks WITH ORANGE MAN and with the brutal MAGA Dictatorial Regime? They are the FOREIGN INVADERS of Iran, the home of the Persian People. THEY HAVE BEEN BRUTALIZING THE WORLD PEOPLE FOR YEARS!
Unbelievable!
As outlined in our conversation two nights ago with Iran’s Foreign Minister, negotiations have now produced a plan that is being presented to leaders on both sides.
We welcome this tentative confirmation of progress.
New Zealand wants an urgent end to this conflict and full respect for international law, including re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The Minister spoke with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi tonight - who provided an update on his perspective on talks between Iran and the United States.
The Minister:
- made it clear that New Zealand wanted an urgent end to the conflict;
- noted that we welcomed reports of both sides engaging in serious, detailed talks on an end to the conflict;
- indicated that a negotiated solution, and full compliance with international law, was the only way to longlasting peace - which must include unimpeded freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
To all the self satisfied “modern men” who think themselves superior for NOT protecting women & children from men who transgress our boundaries-
You are garden variety cowards- and will be remembered as such.
To all the *actual* men, who make it their business to stand up FOR us & WITH us- thank you 💜🙏
I propose we ditch Matariki, which hasn't had great uptake, and replace it with Bacon Celebration day, where you get together with friends and loved ones and cook bacon and have a great time.
