Video emerges of former Australian TV star saying the N-word on national TV - sparking gasps from the audience and an astonished reaction from comedian

14 years ago, he addressed a white man as "N*gger", clearly using the word as a putdown. Even 14 years ago that was pretty egregious. But how is digging up the past helpful today?

Shocking footage has resurfaced of troubled former TV host Andrew O'Keefe using a racial slur during an interview on national television.

The disgraced star used the N-word while interviewing comedian Dylan Lewis as part of the Seven Network's short-lived television series This Is Your Laugh in 2008.

'I thought, this guy is wack, that's how we used to say it back then,' O'Keefe says during the segment.

'Wack means s**t,' replies Lewis.

However, the interview then takes a turn for the worse when O'Keefe responds: 'Not where I came from, n****r.'

The offensive remark draws collective gasps from the audience, including Lewis, as an unfazed O'keefe carries on with the interview.

Swedish school is ordered to pay student £12,000 compensation after teacher refused to use gender-neutral pronoun for them

A Swedish school has been ordered to pay a non-binary student £12,000 in compensation after a teacher refused to refer to them using gender-neutral pronouns.

The teacher said she could not use the gender-neutral pronoun 'hen', prompting the student's guardians to tell the headteacher about the teacher's refusal and the pupil's gender identity.

Despite the headteacher of the school in central Sweden promising to speak with the teacher, the student was referred to with the wrong pronouns for at least one school term, The Local reported.

'Hen' is Sweden's gender-neutral pronoun, replacing 'hon', meaning she, or 'han', meaning he. The English equivalent is using the single-person pronoun 'they'.

After the Equality Ombudsman (DO) investigated the case, it was ruled that the student was subject to discrimination and the school were ordered to pay £12,000 (150,000 Swedish kronor) in damages, local media said.

The teacher who repeatedly refused to use gender-neutral pronouns was later fired by the school, according to reports.
