Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ahakoa he ma, he huruhuru, he Anglo-Saxon ataahua, kaua e whai i te whakawa, e ai ki a Ellie Laing, SBS, he kairipoata purongo, ka tae mai me te tini o nga whakaaro kino. I roto i tētahi tuhinga na The Australian i tuhia i te Mane, ko Jim Carroll, te Kaiwhakahaere Panui me nga Take o Naianei o SBS, i ripoatahia e whai ana i te huarahi 'hokohoko' ki te whatunga ma te utu i nga kairipoata 'pai, wahine, Anglo-Celtic'. Ahakoa e whakakahore ana a Carroll kei te utu ia i runga i enei paerewa, he maha nga kairipoata i utua mai i tana whakatuunga i te 2013 kua uru ki te pire i runga ake nei. 'Kaua e aro ki te mea he uaua taku mahi': Kua whakaekea e te kairipoata SBS a Ellie Laing he tuhinga i roto i te Ahitereiria e kii ana i utua ia me etahi atu kairipoata mo te mea he taitamariki, he ma, he wahine hoki. Ko Ellie Laing, he kairipoata rongo a SBS i utua e Carroll, kua whakahokia e ia nga whakapae i utua ia mo tona ataahua i runga i ona roro i roto i tetahi reta tuwhera ki nga kaiwhakawhiwhi. 'Ki te whakaarohia he whakamoemiti pea au, i roto i etahi huarahi <unk> ātaahua, "Ka tangohia e au, me te harikoa", i tuhituhi ia i roto i tetahi reta tuwhera i tohatoha ki etahi waahi purongo. 'Ko te mea e kore e tangohia e ahau ko te whakaaro e no te mea ko ahau <unk> ātaahua <unk>, ma, me te wahine te reira i te tahi ara detracts i te pono me te ihirangi o te ratonga rongo mahi ahau mo.' I tuhituhi hoki a Laing ahakoa te tata ki te tekau tau o tana wheako, te whakapau kaha, nga hononga kua whakapumautia me te mahi e ono nga ra i te wiki e mahi ana hei kaiako nupepa i te Whare Wananga o Macleay i te taha, kaore tetahi o enei i whakaarohia. Te rereketanga: I whakahehia te SBS mo te utu i nga kairipoata taiohi ataahua, me Sarah Abo tetahi o nga kairipoata i whakahuatia i roto i te tuhinga. 'I roto i taku take kaore i whakahuahia te tata ki te tekau tau o te wheako ka taea e au te kawe ki te ruma korero i muri i te koa ki te roa o te mahi i runga i te reo irirangi me te pouaka whakaata i te ABC, Seven me Ten. Kaua e whakaaro ki te mea he nui taku mahi.' I kōrero hoki te tuhinga i runga i te ihirangi SBS e tango ana i te huarahi ora 'fluffy' ake, i whiua e Laing i te mea e kii ana i te hiahia mo te whakauru o nga toi me te tino taurite...
I whakahē a Ellie Laing i ngā whakapae i utua ai ia mō te āhua anake. I kii te Ahitereiria ko Jim Carroll anake te whakamahi i nga kotiro Anglo-Celtic ataahua. E kī ana te tuhinga kei te whakarerekē a SBS i tētahi 'whakairoiro' hei whakanui i ngā mātakitaki. E whakaponohia ana ko te wehenga atu o te kairipoata tōrangapū o SBS a Karen Middleton i muri i tana 'kore i uru ki te pire' I kii a Laing kaore i whakaarohia e te tuhinga te tekau tau o te mahi 'kaua e kaha' I kii a Daily Mail Ahitereiria ko te urupare ki tana reta he tautoko.
