Muslim activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied has brought up her controversial Anzac Day post again almost a year after it was made.
The 27-year-old reminded Australians of her questionable statement despite her news program being axed from the ABC network last year as a repercussion.
In a response to a post on Twitter that appeared to be made about Ms Abdel-Magied’s divisive comment in 2017, the Muslim activist shared her ‘hot tip’ Tuesday night – a week before the national day of remembrance.

In a response to a post on Twitter that appeared made about Ms Abdel-Magied’s divisive comment in 2017, the Muslim activist shared her ‘hot tip’ Tuesday night (pictured) a week before Anzac Day
‘Hot tip – you don’t even need to mention the diggers,’ she wrote.
‘You just need to ask for people to extend their empathy to others.’
Some people appeared to slam the recent post, which was shared to her 55,000 followers, suggesting she needed to follow her own tips.
‘Lol (sic) hot tip – take some of your own advice this year … you don’t need to mention the diggers and degrade them to draw attention to others. You have 364 other days in the year for your virtue signalling sweetheart,’ one wrote.
‘I suppose (Yassmin) is going to be front and centre at a dawn service to show appreciation for the people that gave their lives so that she could take advantage of a country that gave her everything while she pushed anti-Australian values,’ one person responded.
Some people did however share their support for the words of Ms Abdel-Magied.

‘Yassmin didn’t mention the diggers. I could see why people were offended but the point she made wasn’t crazy. Mistreating people in camps wasn’t exactly in line with what the diggers fought for,’ one suggested.
‘Anzac Day should be a memorial to all the tragic victims of the lunacy of war (as are the diggers) regardless of nationality,’ another wrote.
Last year, the Sudanese-born former engineer was slammed nationally for her ‘disrespectful’ and ‘malicious’ comment after she used the national day to draw attention to other conflicts across the world.

The Brisbane-raised writer moved to London months after the heated backlash she received following the Twitter post – which she quickly deleted.
‘It was brought to my attention that my last post was disrespectful, and for that, I apologise unreservedly,’ she said.
However, on Remembrance Day just seven months later, the Muslim activist was again slammed for a similar post: ‘#LestWeForget (Manus)’.
