You’d think it would be bad enough being obnoxiously, blatantly racist in a national newspaper and refusing to apologise for it, but Bill Leak has somehow managed to find a way to be even more of a deadshit human being than scientists previously thought possible.
A reminder that The Australian, a national broadsheet, has been publishing Bill Leak’s racist scribbles since ’06: pic.twitter.com/XzY6xANZzv

“If a cartoonist’s job is to provoke discussions of really important issues, then you’d have to say I did rather well because it seems like that’s what people are doing now.“Because these are good role models who also are Aboriginal people, proud of themselves for being good fathers and I thought ‘well fantastic, isn’t that great’.”
He also demonstrated that he is, as always, not that bright:
“If I had set that cartoon in a suburban lounge room somewhere in Sydney and all three characters had been white, would I now be accused of racial stereotyping and being told that Bill Leak has said all white parents are terrible parents? Obviously not.”
Of course not, you complete dingus, because a) there aren’t deeply harmful racial stereotypes about suburban white families’ parenting and b) suburban white families didn’t have their culture destroyed by an invasion of Indigenous people.
