Self-described comedian accused of racially vilifying Indigenous people sacked 04.06.2026

Melbourne content creator Lisa Jane Spencer was fired from her job at Peninsula Hot Springs on Wednesday after posting a video on social media that was widely criticized for racially vilifying Indigenous people. The 36-second video, a parody of an SBS program, depicted Spencer, a white woman, claiming to identify as Indigenous, mocking cultural practices, and referencing petrol sniffing. The video drew significant backlash, particularly from Indigenous individuals like reality TV personality Brooke Blurton, who called the content a racist stereotype. Peninsula Hot Springs acknowledged the concerns and stated that the content was inconsistent with their values of inclusion and respect. Spencer defended her video as satire and stated she would seek legal advice, asserting that people should not be fired for their political views or comedy.
