A 2008 song by Wonkey Donkey author and Queenstown local Craig Smith has surfaced online, with social media users slamming it as unacceptable and "racist". "'Wonky Donkey' and Craig Smith fans - you'll probably want to rethink your patronage in light of his deeply racist 'Golliwog Song' (and video). "Smith appears to be still promoting this song and profiting off it, even if he isn't performing it live on his current tour. "Please stop singing your 'Golliwog Song' as it is actively harmful and helps to perpetuate racist stereotypes. As children are your audience, it is even more questionable," another person posted on Craig Smith's Facebook page.
