A Māori Niuean man is reportedly suing an Australian tourism company and two of his former colleagues for discrimination, after he was given a canister with a racist message written on it.
McDuff Tupetagi claims his former colleagues at Rainbow Beach Adventure Company in Queensland gave him an empty canister of sunscreen wrapped in fluorescent yellow tape labelled 'Black Guy Repllent' [sic] and 'Caution! Only use on blacks.'
Mr Tupetagi says he was given the canister in November 2016 after asking his boss, Mervin O'Neill, to install a sunshade at the workplace to protect him from the sun while he worked outside, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
