Indigenous content creators in Australia are facing a surge of racial hatred in the comments sections of their videos. Fishing enthusiast Katrin Yeda, known online as Derby Jetty Queen, has received hundreds of hateful comments in response to her fishing videos [1]. Similarly, chef Zack Green, who began sharing Indigenous food and cultural content as "The Story Telling Chef" starting in 2018, has become another target of abuse [1].
The scale of the problem reflects broader trends documented by national authorities. The Australian Human Rights Commission's national investigation found that online racial hatred directed at Indigenous people has increased since the failed 2023 referendum on constitutional recognition of an Indigenous voice to parliament [1]. Data from 2024 shows that one in three Indigenous Australians experienced online racial discrimination over the past six months [1]. The University of Technology Sydney's Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research developed a "Voice Register" system in 2022 to document instances of racial discrimination experienced by Indigenous people [1].
Meta, the parent company of several major social media platforms, stated that it has established an advisory group to combat hate speech [1]. However, a company representative indicated that Meta does not believe it has Indigenous Australians working as content moderators [1].
