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.
So are you against people getting paid a fee to sing the national anthem?

Yes. It should be enough of an honour for Ricki-lee Coulter or some other singer to sing the national anthem at an event.

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?

"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).
Take it as a land rent fee.

Model of a "too" Politically Correct Society?

"Constitution (Fundamental Law) of the RSFSR
Adopted by the Fifth All-Russia Congress of Soviets
10 July 1918

Part Two: General Provisions of the Constitution of the RSFSR

CHAPTER FIVE

Article 22. The Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic, recognizing the equality of rights of all citizens, irrespective of their race or nationality, declares the establishment or toleration on this basis of any privileges or advantages, or any oppression of national minorities or restriction of their equality, to be contraventions of the fundamental laws of the Republic."

1918 Constitution of the USSR, Part II

Those words of that Soviet Constitution resulted in the following genocide:

We have to be aware of the difference between words and actions when studying political systems.

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.

When we read the 1918 Soviet Constitution it is all about "equality" etc. but the documentaries on that site tell a different story in reality.

The videos show an entirely different, almost exact opposite of the 1918 Constitution. I guess the Marxists said one thing but did another.

Yes, today you can't say anything without being called a bigot, racist, sexist or a homophobe. Overused words imo.

All countries should go back to where they came from.
