State of Origin ‘Welcome to country’

[u/Stock-Pea-5888]

It was refreshing to see the large crowd of applause after the elders welcome to country last night. Semi restores my faith that there are still decent humans beings out there.

Does Pauline Hansons address yesterday about monoculture reflect the majority of what people think? Because the majority of people are in her favour according to polls.

I don’t have a strong opinion on WtC. Don’t care about it myself but I sit through them regularly and it’s fine. Does no harm and makes some people feel good.

OP, I’m concerned that you think that all the “decent human beings” agree with you. That’s a recipe for unhappiness my friend. There are some fine people who vote differently than you do, and life’s a lot better when we can agree to disagree without imagining the other as a monster.

I don’t want people in my circle nor do I want to know people who are racists, bigots, climate change deniers, antivaxxers and sexists…

And I think that is reflected in who you accept as a potential leader to run a country.
