For the Commonwealth of the King?
From what source does the Aboriginal welcome come?

Ernie Dingo and a welcome to the NZ football team.

Peter Dutton has declared that Indigenous Welcome to Country ceremonies are “overdone and cheapens the significance of what it was meant to do” and pushed for an end to the curriculum teaching children to be “ashamed” of Australia, setting up a contest with Anthony Albanese on social ­issues days out from the election

I completely agree.

The fact we have Neo Nazi on display in this country is disgusting in the extreme.


and to make matters worse, many of the ANZACs that were celebrate on Anzac day, died fighting the rise nazism


One guy identifying as a Neo-Nazi - clearly a single lone nutter....  I doubt anyone real in this country pays them much heed.  Trouble is - the entire putsch for control by certain groups, primarily of the 'left' is exactly the same as Nazism  .. all true despots are like that, filled with imagination of how wonderful and high-flying their moral stand is.... and filled with hatred for 'the other guy' who just happens to be anyone who doesn't agree with them.

Extremists of left and right are no different in reality... is this guy worse in any way than some group who go out and screech with megaphones about Israel etc, demanding change their way etc?  His one saving grace was that ...................... he was alone.

Welcome to country has no place on the national stage.  If everyone involved agrees on a personal basis for some specific thing, go for it - but it must not be forced on everyone. 

To put it in Australian vernacular:-  "Awright, smart-arse - put it to a vote then!  I'll bet you lose 61-39 again!"

I was under the assumption the aboriginals fought alongside the others as well


They did, but this is not actually about that, it is about the people who voted against the Voice now struggling to maintain their self-imposed victimhood routine.

They deliberately ignore the meaning behind these moments, instead using them as a springboard for inappropriate and often racist outbursts, whether in person or online.

Thankfully, during the ANZAC ceremonies where Indigenous Elders were speaking, those few who attempted to boo were swiftly dealt with, as crowds made it clear they would be removed if they did not show respect. While violence is never to be encouraged, sometimes firm action is necessary to uphold basic decency, basically, punch a nazi.

If these people are so easily triggered by being welcomed to their own country, this should send them over the ledge,

...

But they don't care about that because it's about racism, not anything to do with welcoming.
