So are you against people getting paid a fee to sing the national anthem?I am happy to show respect, although not pay for it. If the Aboriginal people feel they need a smoking ceremony (another question/debate in itself) then they should do it for free when invited to do so at events.
Yes. It should be enough of an honour for Ricki-lee Coulter or some other singer to sing the national anthem at an event.So are you against people getting paid a fee to sing the national anthem?
Well I think there is far more cases of people singing the national anthem for a fee than smoking ceremonies so how bout you get back to us when you've successfully reversed the more prevalent trend?Yes.

Take it as a land rent fee.http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/.../comments/if_were_so_welcome_why_must_we_pay/
"COUNCILS are spending tens of thousands of dollars on Aboriginal welcome-to-country ceremonies amid claims by a tribal elder that some costs are extravagant. It costs up to $850 for an elder to perform a 20-minute welcome and smoking ceremony."
What a scam. I understand the practice is culturally significant to Indigenous Australians and it should be respected and performed. Although if they want to perform it, do it for free. Do not charge fricking up to $850 to do it. At prices like those it shouldn't be done if it cannot be done cheaper (i.e. free).
I think said fees have been more than covered by billions in wealth transfers (welfare spending.)Take it as a land rent fee.
shittest video I've ever seen
I know. The Soviet Constitution of 1918 looks so good on the surface.shittest video I've ever seen
Politically Correct society can be shitty, apparently. Evidently the Soviets killed poets, artists who were not "politically correct" so to speak. It is shitty and it frightens every artist.shittest video I've ever seen
What am I looking at? [it is a poor graph with no axial labels]If you say so

Pangaea PrideAustralia should go back to the way it was around 200 million years ago.
Racist is THE most overused word out of them all. But that might just be my TAFE lol.Yes, today you can't say anything without being called a bigot, racist, sexist or a homophobe. Overused words imo.
