Concerns Mount Over Aussie Bro Squad’s TikTok Fame And Welfare

The Aussie Bro Squad, a group of four brothers from regional New South Wales, has gained significant attention on TikTok with their high-energy dance routines. 

Their rise to fame involves frequent live-streaming sessions, often filmed by their mother, Beverley, who actively engages with viewers’ comments during the performances.

On today’s episode of The Briefing, host Sacha Barbour Gatt delves deeper into the story with Archie Milligan from the LiSTNR Newsroom. 

The squad includes 15-year-old Jaxon, 17-year-old Tyler, and 18-year-old twins Brayden and Rawson. 

Despite their popularity, concerns have emerged about the boys’ well-being and the motivations behind their relentless streaming schedule. 

Viewers have questioned the boys’ autonomy and the implications of their non-stop online presence, especially since two of the brothers are still in school.

Milligan highlighted the unusual streaming habits of the brothers, noting that the older twins often start live sessions around 6 or 7 am, continuing streaming throughout the day. 

Once the younger boys return from school, they join the live streams, which sometimes extend late into the night.

One online comment said: “This morning when I woke up, they were live dancing. Tonight I’m going to bed… they’re still live dancing.” 

Milligan also highlighted the squad’s moderation policy, where any slightly negative comments or questions about the boys’ activities result in immediate blocking or banning of the user. 

“If you ever question if the boys are actually enjoying what they’re doing, you get blocked or banned from their page immediately.”

“There is no grace period.”
