Australian Jewish Association head David Adler insists he was not trying to insult the prominent Indigenous pair when he questioned Thorpe’s Aboriginal heritage and repeatedly suggested Grant had artificially darkened his skin.
citing racist abuse in May, Adler posted pictures of the Wiradjuri man on social media that he said showed “STAN GRANT’S COMPLEXION SEEMS TO HAVE CHANGED”.In March, Adler posted the same image with the caption: “IS STAN GRANT DOING ‘BLACK FACE’? If so, why?”On four occasions in 2022, the Voice opponent, involved in the outfit closely linked to Coalition Indigenous affairs spokeswoman Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, also raised questions about Thorpe’s background.
When asked about the comments, Adler said he would not apologise for them and said he could not recall the remarks about Thorpe. Separate from the Liberal Party’s referendum campaign, it is the main referendum outfit on the No side. Responding to Adler, Thorpe said the No campaign should be ashamed to work with groups such as Advance.
