Such an incredible experience working w this legend, ‘Uncle’ Jack Charles on the new @abctv series #preppers which airs tonight @ 9pm! I didn’t have a lot to do with him onscreen, but our trailers were next to each other & we spent a good hour and a half just chatting about life in between scenes. He didn’t know me from a bar of soap, but he treated me like an old mate. So funny, warm, generous & full of amazing stories! It was the highlight of one of the best shoots I’ve been involved in! So great to work with so many old friends in the crew & onscreen! A huge thank you & congratulations to the team, especially @nakkiah who is one of the most talented artists in the country!

https://ift.tt/2CJPjhE ‘Welcome to the PC World’: Newspaper reprints Serena Williams cartoon despite controversy For update news visit All Bd Newspaper
MELBOURNE, Australia — A cartoon of Serena Williams that has been widely condemned as a racist depiction of the tennis great has been partially reprinted on the front page of the Melbourne-based newspaper that initially published it.
The Herald Sun newspaper printed an edited portion of the cartoon — featuring 23-time Grand Slam winner Williams jumping on a broken racket during her dispute with a chair umpire in the U.S. Open final — among caricatures of other famous people Wednesday under the headline “Welcome to the PC World.”
Melbourne-based newspaper Herald Sun displays a controversial cartoon of Serena Williams that has been widely condemned as a racist depiction of the tennis great, in Melbourne, Australia, Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2018. The newspaper defended its cartoonist Mark Knight’s depiction of Williams and is asserting the condemnation, which has come from all parts of the world, is driven by political correctness.
The newspaper, which has Australia’s largest circulation, has defended its cartoonist Mark Knight’s depiction of Williams and is asserting that the condemnation, which has come from all parts of the world, is driven by political correctness.
“If the self-appointed censors of Mark Knight get their way on his Serena Williams cartoon, our new politically correct life will be very dull indeed,” the paper said on its front page.
Williams has won the Australian Open singles title seven times at Melbourne Park, including in 2017 when she was pregnant. She is a crowd favourite at the first tennis major of the year, which is held each January at a venue that is within sight of the Herald Sun’s headquarters.
In comments published by News Corp., Knight said that he created the cartoon after watching Williams’ “tantrum” during her U.S. Open final loss to Naomi Osaka on Saturday and that it was designed to illustrate “her poor behaviour on the day, not about race.”
This Mark Knight’s cartoon published by the Herald Sun depicts Serena Williams as an irate, hulking, big-mouthed black woman jumping up and down on a broken racket. The umpire was shown telling a blond, slender woman — meant to be Naomi Osaka, who is actually Japanese and Haitian — “Can you just let her win?” (Mark Knight/Heral Sun-News Corp. via AP) ORG XMIT: TKTT801
Knight reportedly has disabled his Twitter account after his post of the cartoon attracted tens of thousands of comments, mostly critical.
During the final against Osaka, Williams got a warning from the chair umpire for violating a rarely enforced rule against receiving coaching from the sidelines. An indignant Williams emphatically defended herself, denying she had cheated. A short time later, she smashed her racket in frustration and was docked a point. She protested and demanded an apology from the umpire, who penalized her a game.
Critics of Knight’s cartoon described it as a clear example of a stereotype facing black women, depicting Williams as an irate, hulking, big-mouthed black woman jumping up and down on a broken racket. The umpire was shown telling a blond, slender woman — meant to be Osaka, who is Japanese and Haitian — “Can you just let her win?”
“I was deeply offended. This is not a joke,” said Vanessa K. De Luca, former editor-in-chief of Essence magazine, who wrote a column about the U.S. Open furor.
The @AP asked me to weigh in on that horrifying Australian cartoon of @serenawilliams that was circulating yesterday. Link: https://t.co/Kg44SKQt8n
— Vanessa K. De Luca (@Vanessa_KDeLuca) September 11, 2018
The amount of “mansplaining” happening on my social feeds is a bit annoying—and only serves to prove my point about @serenawilliams.
— Vanessa K. De Luca (@Vanessa_KDeLuca) September 10, 2018
The cartoonist “completely missed the point of why she was upset,” De Luca told The Associated Press. “It was about her integrity, and anybody who doesn’t get that is perpetuating the erasure that so many black women feel when they are trying to speak up for themselves. It’s like our opinions don’t matter.”
In a social media post, Peter Blunden, managing director of News Corp.’s operations in the state of Victoria, said: “Australia’s finest cartoonist Mark Knight has the strongest support of his colleagues for his depiction of Serena Williams’ petulance. It’s about bad behaviour, certainly not race. The PC brigade are way off the mark … again.”

This isn’t the first time a cartoon in a News Corp. newspaper has drawn allegations of racism. In 2009, civil rights leaders and others criticized a New York Post cartoon that some interpreted as comparing President Barack Obama to a violent chimpanzee.
In Britain, where fiercely competitive tabloids often trade in sensationalism, Rupert Murdoch-owned newspapers have been accused of sexism, racism and xenophobia over the years. Last year a former editor of the Murdoch-owned Sun, Kelvin MacKenzie, quit as a contributor to the tabloid after writing a column comparing a soccer player with part-Nigerian heritage to a gorilla.
Many years of outrage over articles and cartoons did little to hurt Murdoch’s power over British politics and media, though his papers’ underhanded practices did. Murdoch was forced to shut down the 168-year-old tabloid News of the World in 2011 after the revelation that its employees had eavesdropped on the phone voice mails of celebrities, politicians and crime victims.
Australian indigenous playwright and actress Nakkiah Lui tweeted in response to the front page, saying the Herald Sun needed to “chill.”
“Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom above criticism,” she said.
1. How is it that absolutely none of these are funny?
2. The majority of these are totally fine. The argument is surely you can do a caricature that doesn’t rely on racist stereotypes?
3. Woah, Herald Sun, you are extra. Chill. pic.twitter.com/PAvj2WGm8t
— Nakkiah Lui (@nakkiahlui) September 11, 2018
“What we have is a bunch of people who get paid to publicly exercise their implied freedom to speech then whining when people disagree with what they have had the privilege of being paid to say,” she added.

Australian writer Maxine Beneba Clarke said she believed the front page demonstrated a “misunderstanding” of the criticism levelled at the cartoon.
“I think it’s really interesting that the Herald Sun has not included really any other caricatures or cartoons of black people — either Aboriginal people or African-American people, black people of any descent,” Clarke, who is of Afro-Caribbean descent, told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Cartoonist Paul Zanetti, a friend of Knight, said cartooning was under threat from political correctness, and the Herald Sun front page “spelt out exactly where we are at this point.”
“Political correctness is really all about censoring, it’s about being bullied into conforming to a view of the world,” he said.

When I was a 8 yrs old, a big mob of us went to Dreamworld and I got really jealous of this little cousin who loved my mum.
When no one was looking, I saddled up to her and whispered in her ear, “Stay the fuck away from my mum. She’s my mum”
I still feel really bad about that.

RT @nakkiahlui: This has been nearly weekly since the show was aired, but again: I was ACTING in a fictional scripted comedy series. Why aren’t they also waiting for Russell Crowe to apologise for bashing ppl in Romper Stomper. Or the White guys in Secret River who massacred the Aboriginal tribe https://t.co/nfm9QuqDrJ
