Isn't that standard practice?

I don’t know, how many meetings do you have?
I’d assume they’d have a couple every day.
Already have killed off the Magpies. Same logo as the AFL team now.
Power Reserves in a different jumper.
Same as us in the SANFL.

It's how I'd describe Langdon's game exactly, pretty ironic.

I don’t know? Are you a coach?
Well, they're listed on the SANFL website as the "Magpies" and of course they wear the prison bars jumper.
As I said, I'd like to see Kochie's answer if he was challenged on that.
Depends on what McRae means by "meetings". In any organisation the size of an AFL club, there would be several meetings every day - in different parts of the organisation. Large meetings? Small meetings? Monday morning team briefings? Marketing updates? Whatever.
- But IMO a Welcome To Country is largely lip service anyway. I think a lot of people would just "sit through it".
who does it?
and you invite a Custodian in each time to do WTC?

Nah, it's usually just an acknowledgement of the indigenous people of the particular area you're in (ie. the Kaurna people).
It's been pretty common in meetings I've been to for the last 2-3 years, along with a "safety moment".

Whoever is running it.
That's not a welcome to country. Freeman reckons they do it before every meeting.
so you've got custodians of the land on staff?

No, it's common practice in a lot of corporate environments these as a way to commence meetings to say something like 'I'd like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, the (whoever they might be) people, and pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging'. This would be said by whoever is chairing a meeting or speaking or whatever.
I suspect that's what everyone is talking about.
that's not a welcome to country and I find it offensive that people don't know the difference. Recognising the traditional owners is not a welcome to country. People pat themselves on the back for this stuff and they don't have faintest clue. Embarrassing is an understatement.
Some education for you city slickers to add to your RAP. Educate yourselves as to what Welcome to Country actually is and who can conduct one.

Cool. Well, whatever you call it, it's done all over the place in corporate environments and often recommended by diversity committees and so on.
Josh Kennedy replacement.
