Comment on Djirri Djirri & Auntie Joy statement
hitmyspot@aussie.zone 4 weeks agoYou mean when we voted no on the voice, essentially cancelling entire communities?
I know a lot of people aren’t in favour of welcome to country, but, a lot are. It’s a symbolic gesture that respects indigenous culture in particular and Australian heritage at large.
Many would not miss it, I’m sure, but specifically excluding people on the day is terrible and kowtowing to literal Nazis. It’s cowardly and shameful.

Nah the storm used to do it before every single game and reduced it down to just the indigenous round

I thought you meant we as a nation. This is in reaction to boos at welcome to country at Anzac day events in Melbourne, so it now has more relevance. Deciding to not have them is different to cancelling it on the day after rehearsals and preparation, purely to appease the worst in our society. By minimising it, you are playing into making it political, the very reason some government for not having welcome to country.

Was that the Nazi’s in Melbourne service that interrupted the service?

Yes, they kowtowed to Nazis. Or, chose Nazis over inclusion.
