The #WealthBack campaign will distribute donations to First Nations groups working in communities around the country.
Beloved Gamilaroi presenter Tony Armstrong has urged non-Indigenous Australians to begin making voluntary reparations to First Nations people. Taking to Instagram, the TV personality reposted a story promoting the #WealthBack campaign, which calls for the dispossession of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to be rectified through reparations. "Reckon it's time everyone starts redistributing, ayy," wrote Armstong on the post.
In a predictable turn of events, Armstrong said he had received a number of negative comments on social media in response to his post. No stranger to such a backlash, the Gamilaroi man laughed them off. “I love living rent free in these losers’ heads,” he posted to Instagram, accompanying screenshots of the comments. Armstrong has often been the target of racial attacks since he rose to prominence as an ABC presenter in 2020.
