I liked the way I heard someone else talk about it:
With all of the issues in this election like cost of living, housing crisis, the environment, nuclear power vs renewable energy, education, healthcare etc where does Welcome to Country rank for you?

It's blown up since the voice, if you watch clips from CPAC Australia you can watch every extremely funny conservative dickhead make the same joke about it for the last 2 years or so.

<<Who does it serve to diminish our cultural traditions and practices? This isn’t just about Welcome to Country, and we all know that. It’s about finding something for people to feel angry about, something that involves Aboriginal people.>>
