IT’S TIME TO DROP THE DIVISIVE, EXPENSIVE AND ACTIVIST-LED WELCOME TO COUNTRY THAT ACHIEVES NOTHING
Australians are fed up with the Welcome to Country.
It’s constant. You hear it more than the national anthem now.
From our politicians, from our televisions, and even when we land our planes, Australians are bombarded with the same lines day in, day out.
Make no mistake: What started as a simple gesture has turned into a full-blown activist-led push to attack Australia’s history and its values.
Its purpose is to make you feel unwelcome in your own country.
It delegitimises and ignores the hard work, the sacrifice, the blood sweat and tears that went into building Australia, and boils down our history into ‘good vs bad’.
And instead of uniting, it divides people based on their race or the colour of their skin.
Worse yet, YOU’RE paying for it.
As Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price said:
“I don't believe that we should be spending $450,000 a term on Welcome to Country, when that isn't actually improving the life of a marginalised Indigenous Australia.”
“Going forward, what has come out of the result of the Voice referendum, is that Australians want to see taxpayer dollars work more effectively for them.”
Senator Price is 100% right.
The government spends hundreds of thousands of YOUR taxpayer dollars on these elite and activist-led ceremonies that divide us by race.
Taxpayer-funded Welcome to Country ceremonies are unfair, un-Australian and unwanted.
This is your chance to see them go.
To the Prime Minister of Australia
I don’t need to be welcomed to my own country.
And I’m with my fellow Australians, who are fed up with having the Welcome to Country constantly pushed onto us by activists, elites, bureaucrats and politicians.
It’s constant, it’s unnecessary and it makes me feel unwelcome in my own country.
It’s clear that this is an activist-led push to attack Australia’s history and values
And it’s ridiculous that Australians have to fund this divisive ceremony at a time when people are struggling.
The Welcome to Country is unfair, un-Australian and unwanted.
It’s time to drop the ceremony.
