Indigenous singer Emma Donovan, who was twice refused a taxi at Perth Airport last week has spoken of her anger over the incident.
Donovan had just returned to Perth after an album launch in Melbourne when the incident occurred.
“I have arrived at Perth Airport tonight after an amazing CD Launch last night in Melbourne only to find 2 Drivers refusing me in the front of the line, one making a comment that he doesn’t like “my kind”,” she wrote on her social media.
“I am absolutely fuming writing this in tears and anger. I will be reporting these guys somehow. The whole cab line arguing who would take me, no one wanting to.
“A kind ‘fulla’ offered me a lift in his Car and took me to Vic Park. I know this wasn’t because of a short fare, I know this was racism at its finest.
“If anyone has information how to report these 2 cars properly please help, DM would be nice. Sorry for the rant, just felt so hopeless & wild.”
The singer managed to take photos of the cab plates and is awaiting a response from the taxi licensing authorities.
