Jamie Oliver's Children's Book Gets Pulled Over Indigenous Stereotypes
Jamie Oliver's children's book 'Billy and the Epic Escape' was pulled from publication after facing criticism of its portrayal of Australian Indigenous groups
Ahead of the book’s pull from publication, NATSIEC called Oliver’s novel “a reminder of the responsibility that people in positions of influence — teachers, writers, publishers, and all content creators — have to ensure that First Nations-related stories are treated with respect” in a Sunday, November 10, LinkedIn post. “The zing of lemon, tang of raspberries and sweet caramel flavor of the biscuit base will bring a smile to everyone’s faces around the table,” the Naked Chef alum, 47, tells […] While it is disappointing that First Nations people had to bring attention to these harmful representations about themselves, NATSIEC is pleased to read that Oliver seems to be taking actions to make amends.”
