It seems to me that trendoids have lost interest in Chris Lilley, as I haven't noticed much prominence being given to discussion of Jonah from Tonga on the usual suspects, like The Guardian.
I've always been something of a Lilley skeptic - for every character that works there is one that doesn't, and his satirical targeting is often of very unclear purpose. I see that News Corp is running a story about the Pacific Islander community backlash against the show. I'm glad that's happening. As far as I can tell, it's pretty insulting towards them.
