Sam Newman at it again!

[PaulP]

My wife worked in Indigenous employment for over 10 years. She had plenty of contact with First Nations people, and has been involved in many Welcome To Country / Acknowledgment of Country ceremonies. It's not a cynical, money making, empty gesture to many Indigenous people.

First Nations people are damned if they do and damned if they don't. They are the poorest group in Australia, get routinely slagged off for having no entrepreneurial drive, for demanding handouts rather than working for a living, then when they expect a fee for something like this, they are criticised yet again.

Poor form.
