I wonder if SBS/the producers know (and/or hired her as an actor), or if she's doing it all as some way of getting exposure, OR if she really is like that in real life and just didn't mention the whole acting thing because (???)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD0E3PQgnos (Four Kinds Of Love) - looks like she has a starring role in this terrible student film.

I'm sure there are plenty of struggling actors working supermarket jobs, but First Contact portrayed her as some sorta poorly educated working class conservative type which doesn't really match her acting and theater background at all.

I caught the tail end of her interview on hack; she came across as very articulate and confident, which seemed unusual from someone probably wouldn't have any media training. I chalked it up to the "journey" on the show and coaching from Ray but this makes sense too.

I don't think hack knew

Usually with casting such a show you have to find people willing enough to be on national TV, while expressing views that will run a high risk of having them become a social pariah. Many will say no,though the producers of "Go Back" did state they were surprised how many people were willing to be racist on TV. However it's not that uncommon to cast for these shows from something like StarNow as it's rather a good place to get loads of submissions in from amateurs who sign up for the free profile.

First Contact's objective was to get a broad range of people who simply hadn't met indigenous people, so no doubt anyone with any connections to extreme associations would have been weeded out as the audience needed to see themselves in these participants.
In the case of Sandy, she did tick the box of having more extreme views, which dominated the headlines to the point where she's not employed at her job and goodness knows what else has happened in her personal life. It's kind of sad she left as you were hoping someone that extreme would be swayed.

With Bo-Dene, the producers would have known she had some screen experience. It removes that barrier of "are you comfortable on going on TV on a show about..." which is usually the back out point. Also they would have known a bit about her personal background which was likely more of an instigator in choosing her as it allows for a far more complex character to be revealed on screen beyond general ignorance. She's pretty much perfect casting.

There's a big discussion here with the participants and the show's creators. Which sadly Sandy also skipped out on.

I've been told in recent times we don't say indigenous anymore, it's not PC. Basically because it was always used to describe flora and fauna. (Heard this from some people in the DHS)
I got told years back we don't say Aboriginal anymore, it's not PC either. (I think that was DEEWR at the time).
