Lilley’s questionable depictions of characters in a range of shows have previously raised questions about racial discrimination. Now they have run afoul of the global reevaluation of Black people’s position in society, and their on-screen portrayal, following the death of George Floyd in the custody of U.S. law enforcement.
Australia has a significant proportion of indigenous people, previously referred to as Aborigines. Following the lead of the U.S. in response to the Floyd killing, several Australian cities have seen large-scale marches and demonstrations in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. These have taken place, in some cases, despite pleas from federal and state officials for them not to go ahead, as they would likely breach social distancing rules and increase the chance of spreading the coronavirus.
In Sydney, the country’s largest city, a weekend demonstration was initially banned by the state authorities. But that was overturned by a New South Wales court of appeal as crowds were already massing. The rally went ahead largely peacefully, though the police used pepper spray on a few stragglers who had reportedly thrown bottles at the officers.
