Episode Details

Comedian Lisa Jane Spencer’s latest sketch, featuring the character ‘Aunty Lisa’ and offensive Indigenous stereotypes—including petrol sniffing and face paint—has ignited nationwide controversy after she slapped the SBS Insight logo on it. SBS swiftly distanced itself, condemning racism and clarifying no affiliation with the content. Spencer refuses to apologize, arguing her comedy pushes boundaries and criticizing politicians for exploiting Aboriginal suffering. She defended the sketch as satire, drawing parallels to gender identity cases, and thanked viewers who found it funny. Online backlash has been fierce, with critics calling the content racist, lazy, and harmful, insisting Aboriginal people are not props for jokes.
