| You’re an Australian. You work hard, pay your taxes, look out for your neighbours. Then one day, suddenly, you’re told this isn’t your country anymore. In fact, you’re on stolen land, you’re a coloniser, and it’s time you paid up. This is what the ‘Welcome to Country’ ceremony actually means – it’s become a direct attack on Australian values, and this is your chance to end it. Here’s three reasons to cut taxpayer funding for them: They’re divisive: Welcome to Country separates Australians by race and the colour of their skin, and divides people based on historical events. They solve nothing: Rather than offering serious solutions to real problems impacting Australian communities, it woke-washes these issues and solves nothing. They’re pushed by activists and elites: More than just a few kind words, bureaucrats, politicians and other activists and elites use Welcome to Country as part of a broad plan to delegitimise Australia’s history. But worst of all, it’s very often paid for by you to the tune of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. Join the campaign to end this Welcome to Country madness now – it’s gone on for too long, cost too much, and achieved too little. .”Sign here if you don’t want to spend one extra tax dollar on wasteful Welcome to Country ceremonies. This is why other countries around the world and councils across Australia are dropping these ceremonies left, right and centre. Instead, resources and attention should be given towards real, practical solutions to solving problems, not just a few kind words. 🚨Sign the petition if you think it’s time Australia followed suit and dropped the Welcome to Country ceremonies🚨 Not only is it divisive, but it’s damaging. It tells people that they were unwelcome in their own country. It divides people by their race, and the colour of their skins.
