Does that stop you getting p#ssed?

Nothing's that effective.

You are clutching at straws, I don't live in that community I visit every few months I have never been greeted that way. Only when I attend southern sporting events do I get greeted like this.Other Aboriginal communities are present at meetings and they also do not get greeted in this way.

Surely there is a better way of replying?

I only asked because you posted the following and thought you may have been close to the community.

I have grown up in the Northern Territory all my life going to some of the most remote Aboriginal community meetings

AAP is close to the most reputable media organisation in Australia.

They did a 'fact check' on this topic due to the mountain of misinformation on Facebook and other social media.

What was claimed: Welcome to Country ceremonies are a modern invention.

Their verdict: Misleading.
While the contemporary ceremonies date back to the 1970s, they have their roots in pre-colonial practices.

The first contemporary Welcome to Country is thought to have been performed by Indigenous cultural identities Ernie Dingo and Richard Walley for the 1976 Perth International Arts Festival.

Modern ceremonies claim misleads on Indigenous history

Various social media posts are claiming Welcome to Country ceremonies are far from an ancient practice.

A question Maggie.
If Jenki007 led a demonstration in the CBD with fellow like mind people, chanting that Welcome to Country is a made up lie, do you think it would get any media attention?

The answer to welcome to country is simple. No one is forcing anyone to believe or accept it. It's important to the indigenous people and it's no more than a minute of people's time. I respect all beliefs and lifestyles, I only draw the line at extremism.
This shouldn't have to upset anyone. Let people be people

 

[Hardas]

Exactly what I mean why are we doing them? they are a divisive and a lie. Yes smoking ceremonies are traditional and have always been used but for different cultural reasons.

Sorry - just saw this continuing discussion.
I don't understand the 'lie' thinking at all.
Seems clear the welcome to country is an incredibly gracious effort to find a better way forward. That it's considered divisive is just weak as piss, I reckon.

I’m going at 0030 and 0330 these days.

The truth is probably closer to an unlikable baddie who is dispatched in Act I due to his own over-confidence.

This lady is not a fan of it and blames Ernie and Richard for commercialising it.
