Content creator Lisa Jane Spencer doesn’t have anything better to do with her time than making videos bullying and bashing minority groups.
In the name of ‘comedy’.
The Melbourne-based content creator has finally lost her job at the Peninsula Hot Springs after making blatantly offensive, insensitive and racist videos for years.
In one of her more recent clips, she depicted a white person claiming Indigenous heritage… while sniffing from a jerry can.
Too bloody far, Lisa.
The video, which she posted on her social media accounts, mocked an episode of the SBS program Insight, and used its official logo to make it look genuine.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Spencer alleged that those who shared the video with her employer had “illegally doxxed my workplace online and shared it publicly”.
“They fired me on the spot yesterday morning with no notice – less than 24 hours after I posted the video,” Lisa complained in a statement.
“People should not be fired from their work for their political views and comedy. I will be seeking legal advice.”

‘Comedian’ makes racist video mocking SBS and indigenous people
In the deplorable, unnecessary, cruel and the opposite of funny video, Lisa sports a faux-fur jacket and holds a bowl with burning eucalyptus leaves in mockery of an Indigenous smoking ceremony.
Her face is painted in white ‘symbols’, in an attempt to show her ‘Indigenous heritage’, and she wears a badge of the Aboriginal flag with the words, “Always was, Always will be”.
“I’m Aunty Lisa. I started identifying as a black fella a few months ago,” Lisa says in the mock interview.
“I am Aboriginal, yes. I finally feel at peace with who I am, one of the mob.”
She’s seen claiming her ‘identity’ on a form to apply for government benefits.
“Aboriginal identity transcends skin colour. I am Aboriginal, end of story,” she says as she sniffs from a large can of fuel.
Seems innocent enough, right? That’s not how literally anyone with a brain saw it.
The clip sparked immense outrage online, including from key community leaders, and was slammed by SBS itself.

In a statement, SBS said it was “aware that social media posts were circulating featuring the unauthorised use of its logos.
“The posts and individual are in no way associated with our content and have been reported.
“SBS unequivocally condemns all forms of racism and recognises the damaging impact it has on individuals, communities and social cohesion. Such views have no place in Australian society.”
Actually, Lisa, this is what counts as comedy on Insight:
@wotgrappy I love this so much. get it, girl. @SBS On Demand #sbsinsight #mumlife #parenting ♬ original sound – grappy
But Lisa stands by her clip, because of course she does.
She told the SMH:
“I don’t make jokes at Aboriginal people. I make jokes about all kinds of people,” she said.
“I created a parody using the same format, the same logo, and the same ‘serious interview’ style to satirise what I see as an even more absurd idea: white people claiming Aboriginal identity for benefits.”
Well joke’s on you, Lisa. Good luck getting another job. Looks like you’ll be needing some sort of benefits soon.
