Original caption

Lisa Jane Spencer and Auspill (Hugo Lennon) at a March for Australia rally in Melbourne. This was filmed on August 30, two months after Lisa Jane Spencer received a wave of criticism for posting racist content during National Reconciliation Week. The content creator was fired by her employer, a wellness retreat, that made a public statement to distance themselves from Spencer following the series of racist skits, in which she played a First Nations character sniffing petrol.
