Indigenous Group Says Folks Behind *That* Rogue Oscars Goodie Bag Item Used Its Name W/O Consent

Pieces of Australia, the company which thought it was good and normal to fang a square metre of Queensland in the 2023 Oscars goodie bag, has essentially run away with its tail between its legs after being accused of using the name of an Indigenous organisation in marketing materials without the group’s consent. In case you missed it, Pieces of Australia recently made headlines for paying $4,000 to be included in the unnecessarily decadent bullshit that is the Oscars goodie bag, and rub shoulders with items such as a shaman reading and an Italian holiday.

“When most non-Indigenous people look at the land, they often see something they can exploit, an asset they can develop and use to create a profit,” a digital handbook issued by Pieces of Australia read, per the Guardian.

“An Aboriginal person, on the other hand, looks at land as something more. They see a living, breathing thing that is deeply connected to their past, present, and future.
