- Commentator Jason Morrison says the Australian public have “had it” with the Indigenous welcome to country.
“People have had it with this,” Mr Morrison told Sky News host Caleb Bond.
“Not because they’ve got a problem with Aboriginal people or Aboriginality or Australia’s history.
“But they’ve got a fair dose of them with the tokenism, it has become the kind of ‘good thanks, how are you’ response to everything, we say it so often now it has lost relevance.
“It’s got so far out of control in society.”

@Australia._ 1997 Thomas was recognised as the author of the aboriginal flag, but it was never granted as a legal flag in Australia. Thomas then proceeded to sell all legal copyrights for over $1 million. Of the aboriginal flag
It's time to celebrate Australia Day. 🇦🇺
We deserve to enjoy our country & it is time for Aboriginals & Aussies alike to be grateful & get on with living.
Aborigines are Australians. We are equal, and all we need is to treat each other as equal.

Aboriginals had tribal laws and customs that varied between tribes.

Atm, no different in white communities, some are dripping & grabbing wealth & many are living in cars, tents, etc, except car families are told they're not trying hard enough, no handouts
Exactly. 3% of the population of Australia, are allocated 33 billion $ dollars per annum. Where is the money going? The Aboriginal industry is alive and well, to many greedy Aboriginal criminals are riding the gravy train..
@@kathrynperry992 $33 billion lol it should be $500 Billion a year to indigenous peoples 😅

Apparently indigenous Australians are bulging good nothing according to SkyNews an it's fake commentors ,
But most of that $33 billion is spent to hire majority white Australians to work to apparently help these indigenous peoples, so cut $33 billion off we'll see who riding that gravy train "white people " be alot of white people that will be like those statistics for indigenous peoples, dumb people these days so pre 1980's Thinking bigots think they can make a come back
Absolutely. One flag, one national day, one country. Don't welcome to me to my own country. I was born and raised here, this is my home.
I acknowledge and pay my respects to the British and European elders past and present who introduced civil society and prosperity to Australia.
As the saying goes
Give a white man a pile of bricks and he will build a city
Give a black man a city and he will turn it into a pile of bricks
Take note of South Africa
And banned cannibalism.
Seeing how they treated indigenous folks, I'd have to wholeheartedly disagree with you. Genocide, slavery, mass stealing of land, alongside other unspeakable horrors, I find it difficult to believe Europeans brought "civility and prosperity" to the land now known as Australia.
The First Nations peoples have 70,000+ years of rich history and culture. They were doing quite well for themselves before the British came.
@@bruhdudeguyman There was no genocide, slavery and "unspeakable horrors" etc. done to Australian Aborigines by British settlers. The Aborigines were quite apt at doing this to themselves. Their 70,000+ years of "rich history and culture" did not get them to progress beyond their stone-age level even to a point of inventing a written language, having any system of agriculture, or having a legal or moral system that would ban rape, sexual abuse of children, and incest.
In contrast, the British settlers who came here only over two hundred years ago developed an almost uninhabitable land by establishing farms, roads, schools, hospitals, towns and cities, railways, ports and harbours, universities, health clinics, telecommunication networks, factories and industries, warm (or cool) comfortable homes, shopping centres, reliable and abundant food supply, libraries, clean water, electricity and gas, airlines, the rule of law, etc. etc.
And all that is available for the Aborigines, too. They are the beneficiaries of colonization as much as everyone else.
But by all means, do keep believing in your fairy tales. They have nothing to do with reality.
@befeleme Despite the fact that Australian enslavement of indigenous people's only ended in the 1970s, you still seem quite confident in spreading crazy racist shit.
Hundreds of cultural groups and languages that were once of the land of Australia are now lost to time due to the violence and disease brought by the British colonists. Children were stolen from homes, enslaved and forced to assimilate into the culture of colonists.
Yet to this day, there are still hundreds of First Nations in Australia. These people have their own languages, religions, and ways of life that have contributed to their communities and land for tens of thousands of years.
The idea that these people are/were moral less monsters that contributed nothing is absolutely mind-boggling and ridiculously racist.
Especially when British colonists were literally committing sexual violence against young girls and women, alongside the massacres and mass dispossession of land.
Do some research about it, dude. Holy shit - this stuff is fucking awful and nothing to be proud of.

Welcome to my country. I'd like to acknowledge the early pioneers who came to this country over two hundred years ago and developed an almost uninhabitable land by establishing farms, roads, schools, hospitals, towns and cities, railways, ports and harbours, universities, health clinics, telecommunications, factories and industries, warm (or cool) comfortable homes, shopping centres, a reliable abundant food supply, libraries, clean water, electricity and gas, airlines, the mining industry ... the list goes on.

Well, I was born here nearly 70 years ago and I do not need to be welcomed to my country by anyone, particularly not by those Indigenous people who would like to see us kicked out or have our wealth confiscated for their needs.
I have never been one to fly an Australian flag, I always thought it was enough to just be an Australian, but I think that this year I might go to Coles and buy some Australian flags just to identify that I am not gay, not transgender, don't support LBwhatever and not Indigenous. Why Coles, because I am annoyed with Woolworths, but that is a different story.
So, to all of you proud Indigenous Australians, non Indigenous Australians, new Australians, fly the Australian flag and be proud to be in the lucky country, because even though we have some issues, it is a damn sight better here than anywhere else, and for goodness sake put those damn gum leaves out.
Good comment - we feel just as you do!
Ok, you just sound like an old racist.
Time to get rid of the BS around this welcome to country and the smoking ceremony which was never part of aboriginal culture. All aboriginal flags should be removed from public buildings - one flag one country. Australians have spoken.
I'm glad Australians are speaking out, because where does this end? We paid for our homes and now we are told we don't own them? ??? Who developed this country? God save Australia.

They can barely be called "aboriginal" when most of the city mob are mixed blood Anglo. Must be nice to not only ignore a large part of your heritage but to also selectively hate the "white" side of your inheritance too.
The wealth of the country should be divided equally .this is democracy. But by giving few more than the rest not because of their achievements and contribution but because of their race is pure racism
The problem is the wealth of the country is given to a few huge companies while the majority of the people are given peanuts. With the wealth this country has we could have universal health care, excellent schools every where, decent houses for all, but the wealth is being whittled away by 0.1 percent of the country

The notion that Australians must be welcomed or invited to their own country by Indigenous leaders - which occurs at the opening of state and federal parliaments, conferences, and school assemblies - is a divisive and destructive one.
This practice, while it may appear reasonable or harmless, is a manifestation of the ongoing assault on Australia’s Western heritage and implies that non-Indigenous Australians, whose families have called Australia home for many generations, do not really belong here.
The Majority of all Australians regardless of race have made it clear it's time to call for an end to welcomes and acknowledgements of the country.
It's truly embarrassing and in fact, quite 'loopy' in my view. Just because this small group happen to believe something DOESN'T mean all other Australians do, nor that we have some weird obligation to get involved in their beliefs. They're losing all sensible perspective.
Every event l attend and thy trot out some fake.
I turn my back to this nonsense. Copped a small amount of abuse, to l was disrespectful and l always reply, 'they are disrespecting you. Ernie Dingo invented that crap'.
Canada has the same issues. Time to move forward and stop living in the past.
We live in a democracy where it is OK for anybody to have a go. I can see their point of view, but Aborigines are not the only people whom are disadvantaged. Any answers to poverty and ignorance should apply to all citizens without fear or favour.
'whom are' ? Ouch; subject pronoun governs the verb.
They have had 230 years to join us and live with and beside us.
@@davidp6311 So you would still be living in the Stone Age then?
That's a delusion. The aborigines in fact were NOT the sole 'first people' to set foot in Australia! Do an Internet search and find out the facts. There were several races who migrated overland (as the continents of Australia, New Guinea and Asia were then joined) - the aborigines were just ONE native race among them. Who was there to say an aboriginal was first to set foot here? Who cared? Everyone who has ever lived in Australia has been a MIGRANT - NOBODY owns any part of it and have no right to, unless they WORK and save the money to buy some. If the aboriginals are entitled to grab whatever land they can get out of this idiotic government, so then do all Asians, New Guinea natives and other races such as the Chinese, who had ancestors migrate to Australia at that same time. As well, where at ANY time was there a legally binding transfer of land ratified to authorise transfer of Australian land to ownership of the aborigines and nobody else? It's all based on fairytales - dreamtime fairytales - and the Australian people are being duped by it.
It's also all about the money they get for the act!
Thanks Great Grand Father Grand father Uncles And Father For Fighting For This Nation In All The Conflicts So Far.And Contribution To Building This Nation.
As a migrant I don’t understand why we fly 2 flags when this is only one country, suppose to have only one flag. One flag means one country, one sovereign, one territory, one people. Australia shd only pay allegiance to one flag.
3 flags - They've added the Torres Straight as well...
ONE COUNTRY, ONE FLAG. I for one, do not recognise any other flag but the Australian flag.
The only " connection" these people have to " the land" is their hands out permanently for government funding

The words have already changed from traditional custodians to traditional owners.
This is all a part of UN Agenda for the 21st Century. It's a back door for the UN to ban private ownership of land.
Woolworths and Coles have added their bit by banning the sale of Australia Day merchandise.
I don't have a problem with anyone, I just don't think politicising everything for 'better' approval ratings and expecting everyone to blindly agree to it all is not the way forward.
Coles Redlynch had plenty of Australia Day singlets, t-shirts, flags, paper cups, paper plates, tablecloths, t-towels, streamers, stubby holders, and other items, this morning. They also had plenty of customers, unlike the betrayers.

I would like to see a truthful account of how much is being charged by those who perform 'Welcome to Country' by the various speakers. It is certainly not a free welcome.
Taxpayers via councils. Councils use your money to perform these shenanigans
Costs range from $800 - $6000 depending on the amount of people involved such as dancers, smoking ceremony etc.
Broken Hill council has stated you’re welcome to perform it but we won’t be paying anyone. I’d love to know how that’s going.

An Earnie Dingo invention ! I laughed when I first saw it !
The subtext is always 'feel guilty, you are bad'. That's not a healthy way to carry on.
I didn't come here from a divided war torn country to re-live the same f....d up life again! Screw that. One people one country one flag. Stop bringing up the history we all come from nations that have suffered and lost much more than a land at some point in the past and leave us live in peace. I bloody hate turning on the tv there are always some lunatics talking woke rubish these days.
Only because this tripe has been rammed down everyone’s throat
It's true. Went to a conference and the usual acknowledgement to country was performed at the start. But then very speaker, 8 in all, did their own, with different levels of acknowledgement. It got ridiculous. One speaker acknowledgement run almost 2 minutes and descended into "white invasion " bashing.

I will never go to a Welcome ceremony nor a Smoking ceremony.
Exactly what's happening here in Canada!
We were at an international conference in Melbourne, MAJOR world organisation, and the opening speaker, supposedly indigenous, told the world that prior to (some year mentioned, 1974 for example) “you could keep an aboriginal as a pet.” It was disgusting BS and embarrassing. 99% of the audience from overseas would have had no clue what he was waffling on about. They would have much preferred to see some true aborigines and true aboriginal cultural corroboree dance etc. he single handedly shat in his own nest.
Good to hear! That black, red and orange rag flying on the Harbour Bridge, instead of the NSW flag that used to be there, is not my flag! 🇦🇺
Not a rag.
Throwing green leaves on a fire is senseless to me, because I’m NOT indigenous! I’m a proud Australian white fella!
Ugh!
Ive heard politicians tell us that the " health gap" has to be "closed"?
Are we not individually responsible for our own health?
Why is the lower life expectancy of Aborigines everyone else's fault but themselves?
I have never taken notice of this garbage in the first place!
We don't need a welcome to our own country. Why don't you do it for free if it's genuine.
It shows that there is a coordinated effort when the same things about Indigenous land is done in Canada as well.
It's the UN using indigenous people and "Treaty" agreements as a backdoor into banning private land ownership.

I would like to acknowledge those who came here from other lands and built this nation from nothing
Like the Italians, Greeks and other European nationalities who built the original Snowy Mountain's hydro scheme. We used to celebrate their contribution and assimilation into our civilisation. Now we only celebrate people who live in humpies and eat insects. Probably because living in a 15 minute humpy town and eating insects is a major part of UN Agenda for the 21st Century.

Darwin predicted that races such as the Australian aboriginals were doomed to disappear, superseded by technologically (etc.)superior races; only the efforts of some within the superior races to protect aboriginals have allowed them to buck the fate Darwin foretold for them; but their uppity behaviour may yet lead to their destruction as everyone gets fed up with them.
Which will serve them right. The historical record fact is that the aborigines have ALWAYS been helped by those who federated our nation, from the word go - done all they could to provide services, medical treatments, child-raising advice, education on how to build homes, how to work and become productive members of an advancing society - but they REFUSED, preferring to not work at all or become educated. Time for some HONESTY and TRUTH on this subject, and speaking plainly.

Thank goodness. I was so tired of being at a conference where not only was there an initial welcome to country (which would be enough), but every speaker had to acknowledge the original custodians of the land. It was so bloody long winded. I respect aboriginal people but this constant acknowledgment is too much.

Recognition has been given a terrible thing occurred in the past let’s put it behind us and look forward to the future.
I am sure that the Aboriginal people themselves have had enough of 'Welcome to Country'. All people making a life for themselves in Australia belong here , because this is their home.

Pray tell ... just what have the Aborigines done for Australia?
They killed off the people who were here before them. They were small people apparently, about 5 feet tall. All gone. All killed by the Aborigines. The first white settlers wrote about seeing it happen.
Well the Australian tax payers monies have allowed the likes of Noel pearson and his cronies as well as the people running other aboriginal bodies to steal from their own people and line their own pockets with everyday Australians taxes and then accussing those same Australians of being racist .I'm talking about all those racist % of aboriginals that stole their way to the top on Aussie taxpayer funded grants and they continue to do so.question them on where the money came from or where it went and you are immediately racist according to them.

Maybe they should have asked if we wanted this garbage in the first place?
The ABC is WOKE central! It is time that ABC was disbanded as it no longer serves the interests of the Australian people outside of a few minorities that are already well served by the SBS. The ABC currently refuses to acknowledge any Australian history outside the Aboriginal claims. It even uses a very annoying musical insert as a filler between scheduled programs. The same song day after day after week after week and month after month. As for the ANZAC and remembrance day program offerings I have not seen a single screening of the Australian classic of Gallipoli but there are heaps of other war movies and documentaries with Australians scarcely mentioned if at all. As a veteran whose father and grandfather were veterans I am personally offended by the politics of the SUPPOSEDLY national broadcaster. At least they could change its name to reflect its current role as the Aboriginal Broadcasting Corporation! Finally the "Welcome to country involves polluting the air by burning wood and leaves. The smoke is not safe for people to breathe in and yet they wave it in people's faces. Where are the GREENIES complaining about the environmental vandalism of damaging trees and burning them? Where are the members of the Department of Health? The aboriginal idea of land management is to burn everything down when we are not even allowed ot burn paper in an incinerator because of its polluting of the air. Finally Australian Aboriginals had no country wide of communication before the Europeans settled. The Aboriginals had hundreds of different languages. Suddenly they are claiming that we should use Aboriginal place names. What place names? The claim of 3% of the population calling a place by a particular name is ridiculous as most Aboriginals did not venture outside of their local area ad did know what other places existed and so how would an Aboriginal in Sydney know what an Aboriginal in Western Australia called Broome? The Aboriginal naming is simply another hoodwinking episode that we are paying for to enrich a few , (possibly not even), aboriginals. When a few hundred persons at best can dictate that the whole of Australia must be renamed they can go and welcome themselves to country until it kills them as I am not interested and neither are most Australians.
How can one not like, love the Aussies! I just love how people, on and off the air, can exchange is some really good-natured bantering while discussing relevant issues. Hats off, all I can say is that I can't wait to return to the Land of Oz and experience great, "Down under" hospitality and humor! G'day y'all!
G'day, rightbackatcha 👍👍 and ... thank you!
Love ya accent mate. Sounds like yuo'd be right at home with us lot. All the best 🤠
Yes indeed, I do believe I would, thanx!@@nifty1940
All Australian people have had enough of this crap that serves a few people and they are paid heaps so it’s bad for everyone
When I was young I went to a majority indigenous school and we never once did a welcome to country. If it wasn’t relevant to their culture then why do we have to do it now?
It’s time for all to give respect to ANZACs who gave their life or sacrifices to provide the country.
I love this message, in the UK we need to say the same thing.
Look at NZ. We’ve been there, done that. Look at the results.
All that smoke can't be good for the environment 😂😂😂😂😂
The planet is not boiling. I’ve frozen my balls off this Summer.
Hear hear to this Councillor. 👏👏👏👏

Don't forget the 40 billion.
