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. Welcome to my country. The copyright of the above 'Welcome ...' belongs to me. Certain members of the community will be allowed to use it at a fee of $5,000. White-fellas may use it for free.
Finally, someone in the legal profession who is willing to take a stand about this nonsense. Well done Lana Collaris, a brave and intelligent young woman. I too, am sick & tired of this ‘WTC’ claptrap. And sick & tired of having it recited at ‘every’ public event. If ‘public servants’ think certain Australian citizens should be acknowledged in such a repetitive manner, then acknowledge ALL Australians, particularly the ones who work hard to pay for the $billions in social security AND salaries to clothe & feed a very small percentage of people.

Power to the Lady Lawyer enough is enough we are all Australians Australians should be concerned that Labors Kevin Rudd on his own back signed a legally binding United Nations contract and this is the result AUSTRALIANS VOTED NO So whats the point of having a referendum when Albanese is refusing to accept the result and dismissing Australians proceeding on with it anyway Australia apposed and voted No However Labours Albanese has now come out saying he has a mandate having made a promise to Indigenous people and will now proceed on with the Makarrata commission Treaty and Truth Telling. It might be said that all the way through the yes 23 lead up to the Referendum he repeatedly said this is not about treaty, this has nothing to do with Treaty, its not about treaty. Despite it being a component of the 26 page Uluru Statement and his intent to implement the Uluru Statement in full There were always three components to the Voice There was The Voice To Parliament instilling Sovereignty of Indigenous people and an Indigenous Parliament over and above the existing Commonwealth Government complete with different laws for Indigenous offenders and entrenching it into the Constitution. Thereby from which enabling a powerbase to negotiate treaties and each of those architects involved in drafting of the Voice have conveyed that it enabled a powerbase to negotiate treaty's That was the Makarrata commission Treaty , and Truth Telling each of these involved enabling pay the rent, pay reparations and pay compensation. A scenario whereby numerous Councils Australia wide would commence massively increasing the rates encompassing the rent component paid to Indigenous advisory bodies to each Council herein Australia Whereby all three were soundly rejected by the majority of Australia Dismissing the Australian referendum results and pressing ahead truly is deceptive treason and afront to all Australians who voted no despite all three having been rejected by Australia. Despite this it is being slowly introduced by numerous State Labour Governments despite it being defeated in the National referendum numerous treaties being signed conveying that as a Sovereign people Aboriginals did not cede their land and that this land is stolen leaving home owners in dissarray while the Labour Government is also the funding numerous Indigenous Land claims by taxpayers courtesy of the Government Let's be clear the first Australia heard of the Voice was after he was elected and he was elected on the promise of reducing everyone's cost of living. But after being elected the first thing we got was a spin about the Voice So we could all ask whats behind Albanese dismissing what Australia has spoken at the referendum a vote result that negates his so called mandate as Australia has voted against it but proceeding on with his Indigenous agenda regardless UNITED NATIONS AGENDA In reviewing whats behind it we see that in 2007 the Liberal Prime Minister John Howard refused to sign the The United Nations Declaration On The Rights Of Indigenous Peoples ( UNDRIP ) And the reason he apposed it was on the grounds that it elevated Indigenous Customary Law above the Countries National Law and the repercussions that implies. There would be treaties involved and the entrenchment of an Indigenous Parliament over and above the existing. However on 3rd April 2009 the Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd signed this document ( UNDRIP ) obliging us to its legal implications Once again Labor it was also Rudd who signed us to the Kyoto Carbon Tax Agreement So what we now have is a Referendum with the illusion of democracy in giving you a vote in the Referendum where its defeated. But they then dismiss your vote and proceed on regardless following the UDRIP agenda And we were all told anyone saying this had anything to do with United Nations were spreading misinformation When it has everything to do with a legally binding United Nations contract Truthfully everything they the Labour Party are doing is not in the interest of Australia and a number of Indigenous treaties have already been signed meaning millions more on top of the Billions already spent
Not only do I feel “unwelcome “by these repetitive ceremonies - I’m alarmed we are not allowed to publicly say so unless it’s whispered in the work place - our country is blessed for ALL !
I am from British and Italian heritage, I love the sense of belonging in the welcome to country. This is inclusive of all and just asks that people show respect for the country and ancestors. I am happy to spend a few minutes on this. What I will say tho is we need to move forward and live under one flag with no union jack on it.
@@Didigetitwrong WTC is not even a true indigenous ceremony. It was invented by Ernie Dingo in the late 70's. As for our flag, like it or go live in another country! Try reading this: Our Flag wears the stars that blaze at night, In our Southern skies of blue, And a little old flag in the corner, That's part of our heritage too. It's for the English, the Scots and the Irish, Who were sent to the ends of the earth, The rogues and schemers, the doers and dreamers, Who gave modern Australia its birth. And you, who are shouting to change it, You don't seem to understand, It's the flag of our laws and our language, Not the flag of a faraway land. Though there are plenty of people who'll tell you, How when Europe was plunged into night, That little old flag in the corner, Was their symbol of freedom and light. It doesn't mean we owe allegiance, To a forgotten imperial dream, We've the stars to show where we're going, And the old flag to show where we've been. It's only an old piece of bunting, It's only an old piece of rag, But there are thousands who've died for its honour, And shed of their blood for OUR FLAG.
@@SueNicholls-95 All very patriotic but we need to change with the changing world. The dead should not be quoted as no one can ask their opinion. Its up to the youth of this country to take the country forward in the"modern " world. The Union jack to me is a symbol of the British empire a flag that after the first world war we swore we would never fight under again, are we people of our word?
I don't need to be welcomed to my own country every time there's some public event on. Our forefathers fought for this country and we got it out of the stone age. I'm sick.of this garbage.
Good on you for speaking the truth . So many people have had enough of this unfairness . We are all Australians from so many different cultural backgrounds one culture does not outway the rest . It’s basically unaustralian in my opinion
So Cook in his ship diaries of 1788 records the use of smoke fires as a means of signalling his approach to land by indigenous groups. Smoking ceremonies are well documented in indigenous culture as they are in many others. I don’t understand why you feel the need to denigrate indigenous culture. Does it make you feel like a big man?
@@pwillis1589 Cook made no such mention of welcome to country smoke. The abbo's had this continent in constant flames due to tribal bickering. It is however, documented how abbo's ate their own babies. Preferred the taste of Chinese, less salty.
Awwwwwwww, but isn’t it wonderful to be welcomed to our own country? Where’s the gratitude, hahahaha. 😂😂😂 but yeah in all seriousness mate, same here, it’s just woke and pathetic.
@@glenpudney just pure ignorance. To indigenous the word “country” merely means the land on which they live ie their local community, they don’t mean country as you know it. You need to read a book.
@@davehad-enough2369 If you don't like it leave or shut up and let those of us that take it seriously get on with life. What about the Haka hate that to?
Yeah, you really want malcontents getting training in firearms and self defense with a DEI agenda. The Army does not want national service. In the past national service was an act of pride for your national honour, but now nobody would know what they were fighting for... How about going to war, later getting stripped of your medals for warlike activities, and perhaps ending up in a doss house or on the street...
@@turnyourbacktoit which makes me wonder if the names of all the tribal lands we drive through are spelt correctly because most of them have a silent letter. Hmmm
thats why there is so many damn differnt tribes here, Before Cook bought them into modern history they would go to anther tribe and have spear fights. They never produced antything.
The Welcome charade is sustained by such impeccable historical authorities as the gentleman who recently informed a finals football crowd that Aboriginal people had been here for 250,000 years.
The definition of racism is attributing a single opinion (factually incorrect as far as we know) to an entire ethic group to denigrate them. Well done.

@pwillis1589 Go away troll! There is no such thing as an indigenous Australian they are descended from immigrants who arrived here from South East Asia approximately 50-60 thousand years ago and then burnt the land to make it easier to hunt and irreversibly changed the land to make it prone to bushfire! Hardly what I would call traditional "Custodians", more like the original " Environmental Vandals".

Boring welcome to country its ruining everything about being an Australian. We don’t listen to it ,turn to another channel until its over bloody over it 🤮
Welcome to country was INVENTED in 1972 in Nimbin by a gathering of student union bodies. The smoking ceremony was invented at the same time. Look it up. You might want to look up where dot paintings came from while your at it.
I'm with Lana, I use to work in government and at every meeting they would have the acknowledgement to the Garna People "disgraceful" this is Australia, When I was sent documents to sign I would copy and paste them removing the acknowledgement on them, much to the horror of management. we don't want this, the AFL grand final acknowledgement was a joke no place for this
Why would I want to be welcomed to the own country? I was born here. It would be a bit like somebody trying to welcome me into my own house. It’s ridiculous.
I'm Aboriginal/white and I am sick of welcome to country. It's not an old tradition. It's just a political thing and having it said before every meeting every event means absolutely nothing. It makes me cringe. The only time a welcome ceremony needs to be done is when people are entering an actual tribal celebration on home land, where aboriginals are welcoming people from outside to come and celebrate something with them (like a ceremony of celebration day or something). Aboriginals with the welcome to country agenda are just shooting other aboriginals in the foot and turning the rest of Australians against us. They are never happy.
My sister who has lived in East Arnhem Land for 50 years has never seen them do welcome to country. I also lived there for 20 years. I remember when my sisters son (who is indigenous) came back from surgery in Darwin they did a smoking ceremony for cleansing, I have only ever seen it for this reason (cleansing).
A based black woman on Oprah said "I'm an American not an African-American" The queen of the airwaves had a un-based meltdown. Australia is for Australians if you don't like that idea eff off.
A reminder to everyone of the $39,500,000,000 yes, THIRTY NINE AND A HALF BILLION DOLLARS that is GIVEN to the 3.8% of Australians who ticked a box on a piece of paper to say they are are aboriginal. That sum is LARGER than the amount spent on Medicare for the WHOLE OF AUSTRALIA. I have tried to find out where this money goes and who gets it. I am met with silence every time. So 96.8% of the remaining Australians, please ask to see if you can find out where this money goes and who gets it. It is after all, tax payers hard earned money. It’s time for DNA tests be done out of this 39.5 BILLION DOLARS to make sure ALL the 3.8% are 100% aboriginal. I for one am sick of the rackets being maintained by those ripping off the Australian taxpayer.
Apparently most of it goes in administration fees. $600 each a day goes to the ones that sit and watch new infustruture just incase bones are dug up and of cause a % goes to anyone with the right last name.
Yep people are over it. It's devisive and insulting. Where is the gratitude for all that Europeans bought to this land and have contributed to indigenous lives
The "welcome to country" was developed by Ernie Dingo and Richard Whalley in 1976 as a means of welcoming South Sea Island nations to a conference in Perth in 1976. It was NOT a ceremony used for the last 50,000 years or more at all. A TOTAL LIE.
Just a question. Can all this be stopped and reversed if a new prim minster chose to.. like all the bull shit ,climate change and all this so called indigenous stuff.
My grandpa was one of five boy's and one sister all went to war fighting for this country two of his brother's never came home here in the future his family is being told they need to be welcome to country what a mockery of two young lives that fought and died for this country
Welcome to country is the most racist thing we can do. It is all of our country. We all live here. We do not need to be welcomed to our home. We will never be able to move forward with these constant policies and minority movements that do nothing but seperate us.
People need to feel the spirit of country, it shapes and changes you when you truely understand Australian indigenous history. Every plant in Australia has a use, indigenous knowledge uses every part of country to survive. It’s about the lack of education because we haven’t had a chance to listen to the elders share love and knowledge for this land. All we’ve done is suppress them
Whether they like it or not the Aboriginals lost a war of colonial conquest. Good luck trying to put that omellete back together. Let them play their silly games, it's good for the tourists to see their stone age culture in all its glory.
No you are factually wrong. No war was declared. Now Britain could have declared war and a whole set of legal parameters would have com into play, but they didn’t. They declared the land practically unoccupied without settled law. This was proven in to be false in the 1992 High Court Mabo decision. Not only is your language incorrect your understanding of Australian history and law is lacking.
@@turnyourbacktoit No you are factually and demonstrably wrong. No war was declared if it was please reference that document (you can’t so let’s move on). Government edicts in the mid 19th century and Privy council rulings in the late 19th century document the concept of terra nullius. This concept was proven in 1992 to be false. The High Court of Australia decided in an irreversible decision terra nullius is regards to Australia was a legal fiction. Your opinion is as stupidly funny as are your emojis.
When Pemelway became a defector. The abbo's hated it. But to answer your question, the abbo's themselves declared war. A move that cost them many lives.
Factually incorrect. New Zealand and Canada both recognise co-sovereignty with indigenous people. It can and has been done. Also according to the dictionary and the United Nations the definition of nation is easily applied to pre and post 1788 indigenous groups. You need to read a book and get out more.
I went to grandparents day at my granddaughters school in Brisbanerecently, had to endure a welcome to country which they had all the children sing but then to add insult to injury no national anthem and not an Australian flag in sight. It is adisgrace.

Instead of the welcome, there should be a 'thanking' ceremony to recognise and give thanks to the taxpayers funding them.
Priceless !
So I fund myself then I guess....
Yes. 100%

Ohh fuck up, there’s more caucasian drug fucks that are lined up waiting for their doll money so they can get their next fix. Sick of seeing this “our tax money” bullshit. I’m a white skinned indigenous and pay a shit load of tax just like everyone one else. Actually in fact, my grand dad served Australia in the defence force as a Tobruk rat, and he was given scraps of bread from the white diggers for food. He also never received his pension he was supposed to get.
You racist fucks just need to sit down. I don’t agree with everything the indigenous do either. But I will defend against fuckwits making bullshit racial remarks.
I don’t appreciate being welcomed into the country I was born in and it’s about time that everyone in our entire country was treated equal , without Taxpayers money being wasted on the Indigenous Industry.
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. Welcome to my country.
The copyright of the above 'Welcome ...' belongs to me. Certain members of the community will be allowed to use it at a fee of $5,000. White-fellas may use it for free.

Finally, someone in the legal profession who is willing to take a stand about this nonsense. Well done Lana Collaris, a brave and intelligent young woman.
I too, am sick & tired of this ‘WTC’ claptrap. And sick & tired of having it recited at ‘every’ public event. If ‘public servants’ think certain Australian citizens should be acknowledged in such a repetitive manner, then acknowledge ALL Australians, particularly the ones who work hard to pay for the $billions in social security AND salaries to clothe & feed a very small percentage of people.

The first or second or third Nation Part ONE>>>The author of the following article, which really is a wake-up call to all Australians, is Dr (Professor) David Barton,. Dr Barton specialises in general adult and geriatric psychiatry with a particular interest in neuropsychiatry acquired brain injury, and the association between depression and cardiovascular disease. He works in centres in Melbourne and Ballarat
In 1983, as a naïve youth worker and concerned by what I had been reading since the early 1970s about what was happening with Aborigines in Alice Springs, I moved there to see what I could do to help. All told, I spent six years in Central Australia, leaving both depressed and convinced that the situation could never be fixed. …
Unfortunately, much of what passes for Aboriginal ‘culture’ today is an invention of the last 50 years. Fortunately, much authentic Aboriginal culture of the past has vanished. The gruesome initiations, genital mutilation, inflicted cicatrices (Scars), burns, ritual spearing’s, sorcery and payback murders have by and large disappeared. Nevertheless, inter-tribe clan grievances often remain, as can be seen at some football indigenous matches, both on the field and amongst the spectators. Even though these encounters can still become violent, at least those conflicts are mostly played out with a football, not spears and clubs.
Meanwhile, the 4 Billion Dollar a year Aboriginal Industry is chock full of ill-informed, urban myth-makers and illusionists, this caste of urgers and deluded pretenders giving rise to the patronising insistence on the uniqueness of ‘Aboriginal knowledge’ about everything from agriculture and fish farms (a lá Bruce Pascoe), water and fire management (a lá ‘cultural burning’) to Aboriginal ‘art’, ‘fashion’ and even ‘astronomy’, and not to mention Ernie Dingo and Richard Walley’s thoroughly overdone ‘Welcome to Country”. This is mostly snake oil fakery, an effort to convince contemporary Australians that the Aborigines of old were something they clearly never were.
Worse, histories and observational accounts of early Aboriginal life and culture are vanishing from library shelves, replaced by the anti-white post-modern dogma of ‘invasion, colonisation and inter-generational trauma’. It is unusual today to find any history book about Aborigines in a secondary or tertiary institution that is more than fifteen years old. This is cultural censure and erasure happening right under our noses. We are all the poorer for it, black and white alike.
Meanwhile, the recent invention, exaggeration, distortion and misrepresentation of the alleged ‘frontier wars’ serves as a made-to-order replacement ‘history’ intended to raise the status of Aboriginal people and degrade that of settlers. It is yet another bill of goods, a distorting sham, being hawked by a power-grabbing activist elite in whose interest it is to falsify and distort our history. The goal, need it be said, is an attempt to paint a genocidal racism as Australia’s original sin. …

Power to the Lady Lawyer enough is enough we are all Australians
Australians should be concerned that Labors Kevin Rudd on his own back signed a legally binding United Nations contract and this is the result
AUSTRALIANS VOTED NO
So whats the point of having a referendum when Albanese is refusing to accept the result and dismissing Australians proceeding on with it anyway
Australia apposed and voted No
However Labours Albanese has now come out saying he has a mandate having made a promise to Indigenous people and will now proceed on with the Makarrata commission Treaty and Truth Telling.
It might be said that all the way through the yes 23 lead up to the Referendum he repeatedly said this is not about treaty, this has nothing to do with Treaty, its not about treaty.
Despite it being a component of the 26 page Uluru Statement and his intent to implement the Uluru Statement in full
There were always three components to the Voice
There was The Voice
To Parliament instilling Sovereignty of Indigenous people and an Indigenous Parliament over and above the existing Commonwealth Government complete with different laws for Indigenous offenders and entrenching it into the Constitution.
Thereby from which enabling a powerbase to negotiate treaties and each of those architects involved in drafting of the Voice have conveyed that it enabled a powerbase to negotiate treaty's
That was the Makarrata commission Treaty , and
Truth Telling each of these involved enabling pay the rent, pay reparations and pay compensation.
A scenario whereby numerous Councils Australia wide would commence massively increasing the rates encompassing the rent component paid to Indigenous advisory bodies to each Council herein Australia
Whereby all three were soundly rejected by the majority of Australia
Dismissing the Australian referendum results and pressing ahead truly is deceptive treason and afront to all Australians who voted no despite all three having been rejected by Australia.
Despite this it is being slowly introduced by numerous State Labour Governments despite it being defeated in the National referendum numerous treaties being signed conveying that as a Sovereign people Aboriginals did not cede their land and that this land is stolen leaving home owners in dissarray while the Labour Government is also the funding numerous Indigenous Land claims by taxpayers courtesy of the Government
Let's be clear the first Australia heard of the Voice was after he was elected and he was elected on the promise of reducing everyone's cost of living.
But after being elected the first thing we got was a spin about the Voice
So we could all ask whats behind Albanese dismissing what Australia has spoken at the referendum a vote result that negates his so called mandate
as Australia has voted against it but proceeding on with his Indigenous agenda regardless
UNITED NATIONS AGENDA
In reviewing whats behind it we see that in 2007 the Liberal Prime Minister John Howard refused to sign the The United Nations Declaration On The Rights Of Indigenous Peoples ( UNDRIP )
And the reason he apposed it was on the grounds that it elevated Indigenous Customary Law above the Countries National Law and the repercussions that implies.
There would be treaties involved and the entrenchment of an Indigenous Parliament over and above the existing.
However on 3rd April 2009 the Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd signed this document ( UNDRIP ) obliging us to its legal implications
Once again Labor it was also Rudd who signed us to the Kyoto Carbon Tax Agreement
So what we now have is a Referendum with the illusion of democracy in giving you a vote in the Referendum where its defeated.
But they then dismiss your vote and proceed on regardless following the UDRIP agenda
And we were all told anyone saying this had anything to do with United Nations were spreading misinformation
When it has everything to do with a legally binding United Nations contract
Truthfully everything they the Labour Party are doing is not in the interest of Australia and a number of Indigenous treaties have already been signed meaning millions more on top of the Billions already spent
Not only do I feel “unwelcome “by these repetitive ceremonies - I’m alarmed we are not allowed to publicly say so unless it’s whispered in the work place - our country is blessed for ALL !
Like groundhog day 😂😂😂
I am from British and Italian heritage, I love the sense of belonging in the welcome to country.
This is inclusive of all and just asks that people show respect for the country and ancestors.
I am happy to spend a few minutes on this.
What I will say tho is we need to move forward and live under one flag with no union jack on it.
@@Didigetitwrong WTC is not even a true indigenous ceremony. It was invented by Ernie Dingo in the late 70's. As for our flag, like it or go live in another country! Try reading this:
Our Flag wears the stars that blaze at night,
In our Southern skies of blue,
And a little old flag in the corner,
That's part of our heritage too.
It's for the English, the Scots and the Irish,
Who were sent to the ends of the earth,
The rogues and schemers, the doers and dreamers,
Who gave modern Australia its birth.
And you, who are shouting to change it,
You don't seem to understand,
It's the flag of our laws and our language,
Not the flag of a faraway land.
Though there are plenty of people who'll tell you,
How when Europe was plunged into night,
That little old flag in the corner,
Was their symbol of freedom and light.
It doesn't mean we owe allegiance,
To a forgotten imperial dream,
We've the stars to show where we're going,
And the old flag to show where we've been.
It's only an old piece of bunting,
It's only an old piece of rag,
But there are thousands who've died for its honour,
And shed of their blood for OUR FLAG.
@@SueNicholls-95 All very patriotic but we need to change with the changing world.

Ernie Dingo's big joke similar to smoking ceremonies! Woke BS.
So Cook in his ship diaries of 1788 records the use of smoke fires as a means of signalling his approach to land by indigenous groups. Smoking ceremonies are well documented in indigenous culture as they are in many others. I don’t understand why you feel the need to denigrate indigenous culture.

Why would I want to be welcomed to the own country? I was born here. It would be a bit like somebody trying to welcome me into my own house. It’s ridiculous.
It is entirely political.
I'm Aboriginal/white and I am sick of welcome to country. It's not an old tradition. It's just a political thing and having it said before every meeting every event means absolutely nothing. It makes me cringe. The only time a welcome ceremony needs to be done is when people are entering an actual tribal celebration on home land, where aboriginals are welcoming people from outside to come and celebrate something with them (like a ceremony of celebration day or something). Aboriginals with the welcome to country agenda are just shooting other aboriginals in the foot and turning the rest of Australians against us. They are never happy.
My sister who has lived in East Arnhem Land for 50 years has never seen them do welcome to country. I also lived there for 20 years. I remember when my sisters son (who is indigenous) came back from surgery in Darwin they did a smoking ceremony for cleansing, I have only ever seen it for this reason (cleansing).
Its really sad to see the Aboriginal culture being turned into an industry of elite stink c@#ts.

So 96.8% of the remaining Australians, please ask to see if you can find out where this money goes and who gets it. It is after all, tax payers hard earned money. It’s time for DNA tests be done out of this 39.5 BILLION DOLARS to make sure ALL the 3.8% are 100% aboriginal.

No you are factually wrong. No war was declared. Now Britain could have declared war and a whole set of legal parameters would have com into play, but they didn’t.
