澳大利亚联邦议员Llew O'Brien因在社交媒体上的一条帖文引发争议。在Lachlan Kennedy在格拉斯哥英联邦运动会100米决赛中获得银牌后，O'Brien发文称"白人可以短跑"1。Kennedy以9.85秒的成绩获得亚军，打破了由Patrick Johnson保持的澳大利亚全国纪录，仅以0.02秒之差不敌喀麦隆选手Emmanuel Eseme（9.83秒）1。
O'Brien随后阐述自己的观点，表示"看到一位白人澳大利亚人在世界顶级短跑赛事中竞争是鼓舞人心的"1。反对党领袖Angus Taylor对此进行了回应，试图淡化这些言论，称"我不关心他们的背景是什么...我祝贺所有为澳大利亚竞争且表现良好的澳大利亚人"1。
Australian federal MP Llew O'Brien drew criticism after posting "White Men Can Sprint!" on social media following sprinter Lachlan Kennedy's silver medal performance at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.1 Kennedy clocked 9.85 seconds in the men's 100-meter final, setting a new Australian national record and narrowly missing gold by 0.02 seconds to Cameroon's Emmanuel Eseme, who finished in 9.83 seconds.1 The time broke the previous Australian record held by Patrick Johnson.1
O'Brien's remarks prompted immediate backlash, with Opposition Leader Angus Taylor attempting to distance himself from the comments.1 Taylor stated: "I don't care what their background is...I congratulate all Australians who compete for Australia and perform well."1 O'Brien described it as "inspiring to see a white Australian competing and performing well at a world-class sprinting event."1
