| Lee Lin Chin is the face of lamb in MLA's 2016 Australia Day commercial |
In 1788 European settlers first landed in Port Jackson, now a part of modern-day Sydney.
Australia Day is celebrated annually on January 26th with picnics, beach parties, sporting events, fireworks and award ceremonies to commemorate Australian achievement and culture.
This year's Australian-Day themed commercial by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) has recently gone under fire for being too violent towards vegetarians and vegans.
The ad launched on Sunday and by Monday morning the Advertising Standards Board (ASB) said it had received more than 50 complaints, claims Daily Mail.
Does the commercial's message represent the spirit of the holiday or has the message been tainted by marginalizing groups of people? Is this ad culturally sensitive?
