As I have said in the past, these Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country performances are one of the most racially divisive features of modern discourse in Australia
Australians are sick and tired of them.
They are sick of being told Australia is not their country, which is what these things effectively do.
Welcomes and acknowledgements deny the citizenship and sovereignty held equally by all Australians and they need to stop.
I recall the promise made by leading voice campaigner Marcia Langton who promised no more ‘welcomes to country’ if the voice was rejected.
Sadly, this promise has not been delivered.
Australians should not be forced to participate in or be subjected to these divisive performances.
Enough is enough.
Non-Australian refugee grubs are now sleeping outside the ‘Department of Home Affairs’ Australia-wide until they get “their freedom and permanent visa”, marking over 59 days of demands.
Australia owes them nothing and they need to be deported immediately.
Australians first. ✊🏻🇦🇺
