Louise Elliot has a record for weaponising official processes to push her hate-based political extremism. In this instance, I think she's making a false equivalence by deliberately conflating respect for the culture of Indigenous people who own the land she lives on and works on with freedom of religious belief. As well as being hopelessly racist, she's so transphobic that people have (rightfully, in my opinion) refused to do business with her or let her use their venue to host an event that promotes hate toward persecuted minorities. This is consistent with public statements she's made previously on social media about "Culture Wars" and other discriminatory RWNJ nonsense.

Hobart City councillor Louise Elliot wants to move Acknowledgement of Country and Welcome to Country protocols from official proceedings, arguing they are akin to religious rituals and being forced on people "against their will".
