Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has decided to pull his children’s fantasy novel, ‘Billy and the Epic Escape’, from shelves following criticisms from First Nations leaders who deemed it offensive. The book features an Indigenous girl with mystical powers and an abduction plot, which sparked concerns over cultural stereotyping and insensitivity. Oliver expressed his devastation over the hurt caused, noting an oversight in consulting Indigenous Australians during the book’s creation. His publisher, Penguin Random House UK, acknowledged their failure in meeting publishing standards and emphasized the need to learn from this incident.
