Shove your Welcome To Country

@RosRiggs 4 ай бұрын

Listening to Shirley, there is no such thing apart from the ernie dingo made up on the day thing. This has now turned into a money making venture for the aboriginals ... those in the cities who want extra money. I think its a joke. But good to know that in the main, the tribes care naught for it.

They didn't have welcome to country ceremonies until Ernie Dingo thought it up in the late 70's early 80's. Just like the dot painting was introduced to the indigenous by an Englishman!!!

Dot painting was taught to a group of aboriginal women in the late 1960s.. by a Frenchwoman... not an Englishman... there's film of it happening in the ABC archive. You were close...

Amazing how quickly false information can get around. You make 2 claims and already have 4 people agreeing with you, when your claims can be fact checked so easily. Ernie and Richard adapted a welcome to country ceremony to use on the occasion And Dot painting was not introduced by an Englishman. Do some research before making comments that are not based in facts.

Welcome to my country. I'd like to acknowledge the early pioneers who came to this country over two hundred years ago and developed an almost uninhabitable land by establishing farms, roads, schools, hospitals, towns and cities, railways, ports and harbours, universities, health clinics, telecommunications, factories and industries, warm (or cool) comfortable homes, shopping centres, a reliable abundant food supply, libraries, clean water, electricity and gas, airlines, the mining industry ... the list goes on. Welcome to my country. The copyright of the above 'Welcome ...' belongs to me. Certain members of the community will be allowed to use it at a fee of $5,000. White-fellas may use it for free.

I am 81. Born and bred in Australia. I don't need to be welcomed to my country. And I don't need to look at three flags representing Australia. And I don't need aboriginal so called culture to be rammed down my throat. A few years ago I went on the Ghan to Darwin. In Darwin and at other towns I went out of my way and met aborigines from different tribes which was a marvellous experience. What is happening now is a complete opposite to what I experienced, and I am resenting the big mouths and politicians who are aiding division.

"It's not one great big homogenous group of Aboriginal people, they are individual tribes with their own customs and own languages." This is pretty much a statement calling out the "first nations" lie and the call for treaty lie that pervades mainstream media. The Aboriginal people of Australia have never been one nation and there has been scant unity ever. Even today there is no Aboriginal unity that provides a single voice or representation, other than artificial authorities formed by the governments. Forming a single treaty was not possible in 1770 and is not possible now. First Nations people, Welcome to Country, The Aboriginal flag, and red yellow and black colour branding are all political constructs, marketing, to obtain political power for all the government orchestrated Aboriginal authorities who act as proxies for the Labor and the left wing socialist agenda.

We have similar revisionist Maori history here in NZ: The Maori separatists, white-apologists, and Pakeha sycophant enablers that saturate the university system, have gone about a systematic whitewash of all evidence of the intertribal genocide, cannibalism, slavery etc practiced by Maori and Polynesian cultures prior to European settlement. Even though 20 times the number of Maori mascaraed each other during the 30 yr Maori Musket Civil Wars (and killed 40 to 50 % of the Maori population depending on which Island it was) than the British - Maori NZ Land Wars, it is taught that Pakeha, not Maori, were the murderers. And the taking of women, and the decapitation of men's heads as trophies of war, as well as the 1835 genocide of the non-violent Moriori of the Chatham Islands, are all taught as being Pakeha lies. There is such a plethora of evidence that proves it is the truth, that these liars have a cheek to call themselves academics or historians.
