I consider that ‘acknowledgement of country’ perpetuates racial division in Australia.

Like many non-indigenous Australians, I consider this country belongs to me as much it does belong to any other Australian, indigenous or otherwise.
From this point forward, I will refuse to acknowledge country in the Senate.
I do not accept that acknowledgement of country is any sort of indigenous Australian tradition, given that at most it has only been in use for the past 25 years (and in Parliament only 12 years).
What is more, woke virtue-signallers continue with their politics of racial division by demanding the Aboriginal flag be displayed in the Senate chamber. Parliament is the people’s house. It is there to represent all Australians equally, regardless of their racial heritage.
When Australians – indigenous or otherwise – are struggling with real issues like the rising cost of living and energy shortages, woke virtue-signallers continue to waste our time and money with token gesturers that do nothing to address indigenous disadvantage or close the gaps.
Contact your state’s senators and your local MPs to let them know what you think about your Parliament being highjacked as a platform for racial division!
