Aussie voters unite to say NO to Welcome to Country
Aussies are sick of being divided by Welcome to Country ceremonies.
And now there’s numbers to prove it.
A study undertaken by the Institute of Public Affairs showed 56 per cent of Australians agree that the practice has become divisive. Only 17 per cent outright disagreed and think it is unifying.
With all the efforts the activists and elites have spent to push it on is, still only a tiny majority of Australians think it’s a good thing!
It’s easy to see why.
Last week Melbourne worker Shaun Turner won his unfair dismissal case against Darebin Council after they sacked him because he objected to an Acknowledgement of Country in toolbox meetings.
Turner said having these acknowledgements in small meetings is pushing it too far.
That’s an understatement.
We’ve all been there: office Zoom meetings, speakers at school assemblies, pop-up banners on websites for museums and restaurants, local sporting events, churches.
One businessman said it was “comical” when his company made every single person do an acknowledgement at the start of a meeting.
It’s no longer a special ceremony for big formal events like the opening of Parliament, it’s everywhere.
No wonder Aussies are sick of it.
Especially when a lot of the time they are anything but welcoming.
They’re the opposite.
Activists have been using these acknowledgements to smuggle in divisive slogans about stolen land and “Australia never ceded”.
They tell kids in preschool they should feel guilty for things that happened 200 years ago.
Again: no wonder Aussies are sick of it.
Most Aussies have no problem acknowledging our history, no issues with addressing injustices of the past.
But they have every right to draw the line at activist racial division infiltrating every aspect of their lives.
That’s why if you’re an Indigenous activist sincerely trying to get better outcomes and improve things for Aboriginal Australians, you should be most angry at the activists who hijacked your cause.
The way forward is with unity, not division.
Australians know it, and it’s time corporations, schools, sports, and all the other Australian institutions pushing this division got with the program.
