An Aboriginal community in the Burdekin recently decided to ban the Welcome to Country. Here are the reasons:
It had become embarrassing for them. Everybody knows it’s a farce.
Outsiders were apparently “performing the ceremony”, charging fees and money for the performance and this annoyed the locals.
This is what we have been saying since the beginning. The Welcome to Country ceremony was invented by Ernie Dingo in the 1970s, not too far off from the invention of the “Aboriginal flag”. What may have started as a “movement” very quickly turned into a business and has long since turned into a racket.
But people are taking notice, and examples like this are increasing. Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is spot on - we are all Australians. Spread these examples, spread the petition and the Freedom Federation. Thank you for your support!
