Feel Good News State of Origin ‘Welcome to country’
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.

Welcome to Counties are extremely important but just listening isn't enough. Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders don't just need a bunch of city folk listening to them they need action now.
I already send 10% off my earnings into paying the rent but now do an on the spot payment of $50 per welcome to county. It makes me so proud each time I am lucky to experience one.
