The last night at #Uluru before setting off on the return leg of my #roadtrip, and after watching another brilliant sunset, I read this article on the #ABCNews website and felt even more uplifted! 🖤💛❤️

Hobart City councillor proposes moving Acknowledgement of Country from official proceedings
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-24/hobart-city-council-louise-elliot-acknowledgement-of-country/105564218

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.

Survey finds Australians think Welcome to Country ceremonies are divisive

[No link to Daily Telegraph article]

That's what you get for surveying Daily Telegraph readers after poisoning their minds for years with racist propaganda from RWNJ media.

Seriously, those racist fools at News Corp are so bitter about showing the slightest bit of respect to Indigenous people. Talk of Welcome to Country makes them clutch their pearls in fear and recite Peter Dutton's words.

#MelbourneStorm loses #Aboriginal #Health Service partnership over #WelcometoCountry #snub.

The Victorian Aboriginal Health Service has cancelled its Deadly Choices campaign with the Storm & said the decision to cut ties was a direct result of the team's treatment of #AuntyJoyMurphy & the lack of a Welcome to Country before the Anzac Day game.

The club chalked the decision up to a miscommunication - which is total bullshit #auspol

Melbourne Storm loses Aboriginal Health Service partnership over Welcome to Country snub

The Victorian Aboriginal Health Service severs ties with the Melbourne Storm after the NRL club's decision to cancel a Welcome to Country before its Anzac Day game.

“As the wheels fell off, [#Dutton] launched a fresh round of #divisive rhetoric over #welcometocountry ceremonies in a debate that was actually kicked off by #NeoNazis.

In a moment requiring #moral #leadership, Dutton lent voice (ironically) to the worst among us.

As Australians entered the polling stations, most concluded that Dutton wasn't merely unready; he had failed to grasp the nature of national leadership.” #auspol #ausvotes
