'Acknowledgement of Country' in the workplace

[Chief]

So divisive

 

[Kram]

and in addition the flying of the aboriginal and TSI flags are divisive.....adding more that they want us to be united and the way to do it is to fly one flag (AUS).....and say it in a way that is caring by showing concern towards the aboriginals. but it seems insincere as the crux of the matter is to take away the two flags.

I don't think ever heard anyone say that apart from a few idiots back when the great Cathy Freeman did it for the first time.

It's the coolest flag ever why wouldn't anyone want to fly it.

A couple of people at my office (accounting firm) put up Union Jacks at their desk this week, and were ordered to take them down

Fun police. Let people decorate their desks. It's not a swastika or hammer and sickle ffs

It's a cool flag but I reckon it's got strong competition from Belize.

You've got 2 dudes with their shirts off, brandishing weapons while wearing karate pants. Sub Umbra Floreo means 'I flourish in the shade' so they're not in it for the attention. You've got a picture of a boat and even more weapons and it's the only flag in the world that is a cartoon and has people in/on it.

Only had a very quick glance this arvo at their recent presentation but BRG on the ASX have gone big on this.

I generally know what country I am in at any given time, so....not sure if required.

‘No place in our game’: FA reacts to fans’ disgusting behaviour during Australia Cup final

Should be added to the footer of this site IMHO.

I suppose the tribes of Oregon would appreciate the recognition.

‘No place in our game’: FA reacts to fans’ disgusting behaviour during Australia Cup final

Sounds like their disgraceful behaviour went for the whole game including before the welcome to country and during the anthem so it didn't get any special treatment from the neanderthals.

Perhaps they should go live in the feral backwater they are so proud of.

Every AFLW game basically has a Welcome to Country statement now, look to the Jumbotron for our special message, white guilt knows no bounds

Stop whinging for ****s sake.

What effect does it have on you exactly?

Is it really a hardship to sit quietly and just ignore it for 30 seconds like most people? Just read something on your phone or in the record or something.

See? Read the post above mine? Why is that worth a WOW react?

Well it appears that you didn't get a response or one that you were satisfied with, so wow, shit's about to get real!

I genuinely don't understand where this has gone. I got no response but yours, which circled around as if I had asked you the original question and not the person who posted... ?

Where have we gotten off track?

Ok I'll be honest, I used the "wow" flippantly, I wasn't sure what else to say. It's actually not really my argument anyway, i chipped in a bit.
