Law had been on the outs with other players since the beginning, never able to form true alliances despite his best efforts \\u2013 a necessity when looking to advance in the game \\u2013 and repeatedly labelled by a number of players as \\u201cshifty\\u201d.

But his exit has kickstarted a larger discussion about the way people of colour can be \\u201cdisadvantaged\\u201d on the show, and the issue of diversity on Australian TV more generally. \\u201cI think there\\u2019s a real opportunity for Survivor, and all Australian shows, to be bringing a better mix [to the cast]," said Law while speaking to culture writer for The Age, Meg Watson this week\'s episode.\\xa0
