This headline is just playing tricks on us like always! 🙄 But after actually reading the article, it all makes sense now!

250,000 years? Nah mate, more like 65,000. And before Cook? That's a load of bull someone's cooked up. Talking about causing more rifts, he's spot on.

The Welcome to Country was totally fine, and I actually found it pretty interesting. It seems like some folks, especially the audience for this publication, just love getting their feathers ruffled.

I don't believe he made a mistake, except for saying 250,000 BC, as Homo sapiens did not finish evolving until 70,000 years ago. Kim Smith

I'm just done with all this welcome to country crap. We're all here, so deal with it. Let's just learn to coexist. You can't change what's already happened, so let's just move forward and make it better.

The headline and the story are just trying to make a big fuss. When you actually read what he said, it's not controversial at all. He's simply stating that 'welcome to country' is for everyone, regardless of skin color, who comes to that area. It's an invitation for anyone to that specific part of t... View More

So like, I've been into football for like 40-50 years, and I remember seeing this awesome player named Polly Farmer and others. But throughout all those years, I never saw a 'welcome to country' thing happening. But now, it's happening all the time, and I'm kinda curious why that is! Maybe the refer... View More

Because no one bothered to double-check what was cool and nobody cared to study. Do you honestly believe Polly Farmer would have felt comfortable sharing that information with anyone at that time? He would have probably been beat to a pulp!

I'm totally obsessed with Welcome to Country! Especially when they do a Smoking Ceremony. Who wouldn't want to be greeted like that? And what about "Welcome Home" signs? Are we getting rid of those too?

For real, 250K years? Crazy how that number keeps climbing! It was only 70K not too long ago 😉 Total BS, it's all meaningless now. Majority of Aussies want this crap to end, it's a joke. And don't get me started on Aboriginal folks claiming tradition but rocking American styles 🤣 Jessica Garcia

Until we upgrade the national anthem to be more inclusive like NZ and South Africa, it's only right to have both that and Welcome to Country. It's the least we can do to show respect to everyone, and it's what makes us stand out.
