Director slammed for 'white-out' of legendary Gallipoli sniper Billy Sing

published by ANBM on Fri, 05/07/2010 - 21:47

A FURORE has erupted over a new mini-series about the deadliest sniper at Gallipoli, Chinese-Australian Billy Sing, who is played by a white.

This portrayal in the The Legend of Billy Sing has been attacked by Australians of Chinese ancestry as a betrayal of their heritage, robbing them of a rare historic hero.

Director Geoff Davis has cast his son Josh in the lead role, while Sing's Chinese father is played by the veteran actor Tony Bonner, who came to prominence as a blond-haired helicopter pilot in the Skippy TV series.

Sing, born in 1886 at Clermont, Queensland, to a Shanghainese father and an English mother, moved as a young man to the canefields of Proserpine, where he became a keen cricketer, kangaroo hunter and a crack member of the local rifle club.

Chinese woman barred from mother's grave

published by ANBM on Tue, 05/04/2010 - 23:02

The federal government, which barred a grieving daughter in China from coming to British Columbia for her mother's funeral, has since denied her two subsequent requests to visit the gravesite.

Xiu Lan Huang's nephew said her Canadian relatives are baffled and outraged over what they see as an unjustified lack of compassion.

"How is it that they are not able to feel a daughter's pain?" asked her nephew Jason Ma, who lives in Richmond and works as a support analyst for Worksafe BC.
"There is tremendous shame for her not to be able to be at her mother's funeral."
