Content of racist Aboriginal meme Facebook page deleted

A Facebook page featuring racist images and jokes about Aboriginal people has this evening had all of its content deleted.

The site itself has not been taken down, implying that the content was removed by its creator rather than by Facebook.

The action followed a day of growing controversy over the highly offensive content of the page and Facebook’s refusal to act upon complaints or to comment upon the furore.
