The joke is because Uncle Colin seems to be in every corner of the country and at every public event. The same meme would appear if it was a white person singing the National Anthem at every public event. The meme isn’t because he’s indigenous, it’s because he’s everywhere.

The meme wasn't even funny though. I guess I haven't been paying attention but I never even knew who the guy was. I thought Aunty Joy was the elder who did the welcome to MCG speeches.

I would be pretty surprised if Uncle Colin did welcome to country in any other state. I don't think it would go down well with other mobs. I mean that's what the whole "coming from the land of the wurundjeri people" thing is all about when you turn on the ABC news.

I used to fly Royal Brunei quite often, normally long flights to the UK. I am not religious, let alone muslim. Prior to each flight everything would stop for this short prayer:



I see only good and reassuring thoughts being expressed in this prayer. I never thought, give me a break, I have heard this a hundred times before. I thought this is a good opportunity for me to consider what I am doing here, and what is about to take place, and to reflect upon the benefit of all previous journeys I have taken.

I have thoughts along similar lines when I hear the welcome to country ceremony. Not one word ever expresses anything but friendly, pleasing thoughts.

In a crazy world where our value system currently says 1 bitcoin is worth a lot more to a person than 10 acres of forest that is not allowed to be developed, I find the thoughts that enter my mind during the welcome to country ceremonies reassuring. Amongst other things the ceremony tells me that had I wandered onto these lands a lost and lonely refugee from Europe(or aywhere else), I would have been welcomed by the people who inhabited the place. It is salient that the portion of the political spectrum who might object most to this ceremony are those who themselves are not so welcoming to people of other lands. The Paulineites of the world.

If the ceremony was forced upon me 24/7, if it stopped me from sleeping, or hindered my path in life, then I might object to it. But it isn't, and it doesn't.

I have gone a step further. I run a little Airbnb out of what used to be my garage. It provides my humble income. Each time guests arrive, I welcome them, and tell them about the place they are about to occupy, and explain the surrounds, and the creatures who also occupy or visit the property. I know this is very popular with my guests, because I get to read their reviews. Guess where I learned to do that?

Melbourne Uni?

Melbourne Uni?

There wouldn't be too many Meteoric Rise types ever frequented MU Loosener. I sunk from being raised in a housing commission estate to such dark arts as repossessing unpaid for goods & punting on anything that moves or stands still. I got on well in the UK because nobody could tell I was a ratbag until it was way too late.

Ah yes, the ever-lingering presence of veiled racism. Makes for a quality Opposition Observation XL thread.

It's a bit of a worry.

It’s become a commercial opportunity and is losing its cultural significance. Definately has its time and place

I think it was Diesel who told the story that John Elliot was walking past him in the Carlton rooms and said he was involved in a new share opportunity and asked if Diesel was interested. Diesel said he was but didn't really think about it again. A few months later big John walks passed again and hands Diesel $10K and says this is from the sale of the shares you asked me to buy for you. We made a tidy profit, and he walked off. Great story wouldn't surprise me if it were true.

Our discussion here is about where Eddie McChins sold the "Everywhere" brand over to Unca Colin.
My thoughts being; if it was a choice between Unca or Aunty and some moron from media spouting rumour rubbish, the elders win by s fair way.

If we have it next year we are going to the big dance.

Sounds like it was “Normal” ? No attempt to hide it if it was done in that way?
