Jonah from Tonga: Cease discriminating against the Tongan Community

The issue

It is important to the migrant and Tongan community to raise awareness to this program. Whilst claiming to be a representation of our culture, instead it presents an inaccurate, discriminatory and inherently racist presentation with our cultures name attached. Under the banner of comedy, it smear's the tongan community with every racist stereotype that could be levelled against our families and teenagers as they integrate into western society. 

We seek community assistance, both from australian's and tongan's, as we aim to voice our displeasure and gather support in having this programmed canned!! It doesnt accurately represent our culture, it doesnt fairly demonstrate our hardworking community and its proud family ties. Stand with the Tongan community of Australia as we seek a fair go in righting this wrong.
