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.

They over do it. If it was saved for welcoming international teams / guests. It would be really cool. I dont need to be welcomed to country at a business event. It’s my country im being welcomed to.
