Racist Stickers Targeting Indians Found on Food Products in Australian Supermarkets
Racist stickers depicting an Indian man defecating on a street have appeared on Indian food products in Australian supermarkets, particularly in Cessnock, New South Wales. The stickers carry messages like "Is this your culture? We don't like it!" and demand "Remigration now!", linking to anti-immigration campaigns. Federal MP David Repacholi condemned the stickers as racist and urged residents to report and remove them, emphasizing that such hate and division will not be tolerated in the community. Similar incidents and anti-Indian materials have been reported in the region previously.
