What was claimed

Videos show Muslim women complaining about food and amenities in Australia.

Our verdict

False. The videos are AI-generated.

AAP FACTCHECK - A series of videos depicting Muslim women complaining about Australia's food and amenities on social media is fake.

The clips were posted by a foreign-based account and contain visual and audio errors common in content generated using artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

The Australia Speaks page is run from Sri Lanka, according to Facebook's transparency details. 

One video shows a Muslim woman complaining about dogs in parks.

“Dogs are dirty, we don’t like them in the park," the woman says. 

"Aussies should understand this. Stop bringing your dogs here so we can also enjoy the park peacefully."

Comments suggest viewers believe the footage is real, with one telling the woman to “go back to where you came from”.

The page launched in January 2026 and the clips have been viewed millions of times

The videos do include AI disclaimers, but these are hidden behind a "see more" icon beneath the posts.

Another video shows a Muslim woman complaining about the heat at an Australian beach.

“The local government should do something to protect us," she says. 

"They should install tents for Muslim women and bring free fresh water for us."

Inconsistent lighting, such as her face being lit while the sun is positioned behind her, indicates the clip is AI-generated.

Other clips show AI avatars demanding that Australian food comply with Islamic dietary laws

A woman seen at a street market in another video says she is "really disappointed" that there is no halal food.

Technical glitches are common across the videos, including women's accents changing, fingers morphing and background signs featuring gibberish words such as one advertising "Sage & Cruberi Snags."

Other posts feature videos of Muslim women complaining about being offered sausages and beer at a Christmas market or about a chicken sandwich not being halal.

Further clips show Muslim women disappointed or complaining about pork products being sold in supermarkets.

However, all the videos appear to be AI-generated.

The women have overly smooth skin and the backgrounds appear generic, blurred and lack any clear indication of their locations, such as signs.
