A spokesperson for Nine, the publisher of the Australian Financial Review, said the cartoon should not have been published.
"The political advertisement about the Voice referendum placed into today's Financial Review should not have run and we apologise for that," they said.
NSW Liberal MP Matt Kean said the cartoon drew comparisons with racial segregation messaging in the United States in the 20th century. Fair Australia says it will be calling more than two million people in coming weeks to conduct a survey on what it terms the "divisive" Voice. But former politician Warren Mundine, an Indigenous man who has campaigned against the Voice, said the ad was not problematic.
