Raygun under fire after claiming ownership of the kangaroo dance

Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn has apologised to Indigenous Australians after she was accused of cultural appropriation for claiming ownership of the kangaroo dance. This comes after comedian Stephanie Broadbridge announced her trial show for Raygun: The Musical had been cancelled just hours before it was due to begin after the 37-year-old’s lawyers contacted the venue to threaten legal action. Ms Broadbridge took to Instagram to reveal that Ms Gunn’s lawyers had trademarked her poster and advised the comedian against doing the kangaroo dance because the viral Olympian “owns” it. Ms Gunn denied owning the dance and that the kangaroo dance was inspired by Aboriginal culture and said her moves took inspiration from the Australian Olympic mascot.
