Coalition MP Llew O'Brien praises sprinter's silver through the lens of race on official Facebook page

LNP MP Llew O'Brien posted 'White Men Can Sprint!' on his official Facebook page on 29 July 2026, celebrating Lachlan Kennedy's Commonwealth Games 100m silver. O'Brien called it 'encouraging to see a White Australian compete at this level' — a Coalition MP foregrounding race to praise an athlete whose achievement needed no such framing.
