Angry viewers have led a boycott of Seven's Sunday Night around the hashtag #NotMyAustralia, over a segment about African gangs "wreaking havoc" in Victoria. The Sunday Night story was described as "racist propaganda" by online commenters, with some even shaming corporate advertisers who aired commercials during the segment. The episode focused on Elaine French, an accountant at a Melbourne jewellery store who claimed she'd been left traumatised after being robbed twice by "armed African criminals". "Barely a week goes by when they're not in the news. African gangs running riot, terrorising, robbing, wreaking havoc," went presenter Alex Cullen's fiery opening, blaming "political correctness" for police reluctance to "admit there's a problem". The episode, which saw French calling on her attackers to "be deported to where they came from", ended on an attempt at harmony, with French sitting face to face with Torit Chol Bol, a rapper and reformed convict who recounted the racism he faced in Australia after arriving as a refugee from war-torn South Sudan. Anger at the segment first erupted over a promo Seven shared ahead of Sunday's broadcast, which featured the words "African Gangs" over cobbled footage of armed robberies and street riots. "Their crimes are sending chills across Australia, leaving lives devastated," a forceful voiceover said in the promo. The clip sparked an immediate backlash online, with Race Discrimination Commissioner Tim Soutphommasane among those criticising Seven. "The promotion of this smacks of fear-mongering and racial hysteria," he wrote in a Twitter post. "Disappointing to see this kind of approach – it's a recipe for division and racial profiling." South Sudanese-Australian lawyer Maker Mayek, who led the boycott of the episode, thanked online followers on Sunday for helping #NotMyAustralia trend on Twitter. "It proves this country is way better than this hatred we see more often in the media," he wrote in a post. When Fairfax Media reached out to Seven for comment, the network stated it was happy with how the show came across. "Sunday Night stands by every element of the story published in last night's program," the statement read. The episode drew 555,000 viewers across the five major cities to finish ninth amid Sunday's ratings, behind its timeslot rivals Nine's 60 Minutes (618,000) and ABC's Jack Irish (723,000), but more or less in line with its numbers in recent weeks. Seven's Sunday Night is no stranger to negative attention. In May, the current affairs show was criticised for paying a reported $150,000 to Barnaby Joyce and Vikki Campion for an exclusive interview. It has also faced claims of rehashing stories previously aired on Nine's 60 Minutes.

Amidst all the "woe is Aunty" posting here Media Watch is still great, and called out Seven last time this came around for using footage from other countries they've scraped from YouTube. I missed it last night but I'm sure they'll be looking at that episode as well. Haven't seen the show, and never will, but the ad during the footy was utterly shameless. Showing a gormless cop not answering (because they didn't show his answers) gotcha questions interspersed with grainy footage of Africans causing trouble which could've come from anywhere.

Maybe it's because it's a complete waste of money. We had it and iajwife broke her wrist badly being surgery. We went in as a private patient and she got surgery and a few nights in hospital. At the end we still had a bill for several thousand dollars. We asked the hospital and if we'd said we were public it would have been the exact same treatment but free. Strangely we decided that spending thousands a year on cover that still left us paying unnecessary thousands later on was a bit of a stupid decision. When we had iaJunior we went in the private system paying out of pocket. Our friends who went through the same exact process got a few hundred back on insurance but still paid a few thousand all up. Complete scam.

The following day a hospital administrator came down to bully him into switching to private lmao.

I canceled my private health recently. I had it for close to 5 years and didn't use it once. They keep increasing the premiums so gently caress em. The only benefit I see for it is bypassing the waiting lists if you need elective surgery. As I'm young(ish) and healthy that's not a concern. I broke my foot a few years ago. I went through public as it was free (apart from like $30 for crutches). If I claimed it on private I would have had to spend a heap of money

There's pretty much no benefit to going private in a public hospital. Hospital gets a bit more cash and you can choose your specialist but that's it. Private insurance is more about elective surgeries.

Private insurance is more about elective surgeries. tbh you're better off paying what you would be paying in premiums into a bank account. I've worked out that in order to get a surgery I need on private, I'll have to pay for top tier insurance for a year to wait out the waiting period (about 4-5k) and then also be subject to a bunch of out of pocket expenses anyway or dig into my super to afford it.

3 years ago when my premiums were ~$90/mo I worked out that if I got my teeth check/cleaned twice a year and used all the optical, the claims were only about $100 short of premiums, so it was almost worth it. Although it was an insurance company dental clinic so wouldn't be surprised if the list prices were inflated. I've been away for a while now, do I get stung with some bullshit levy if I don't get private insurance again now I'm over 30?

Only if you're on 90k a year. And I think you had to be 31 by July for it to apply.
