Tony Abbott says he’s sick of Welcome to Country ceremonies as he calls the Aboriginal flag ‘divisive’
- Tony Abbott sick of ‘Welcomes to Country’
- He called being ashamed of Australia ‘crap’
Malcolm Roberts:
Dig this: Malcolm Robert tells us that “I was pleased to hear the Liberals and Nationals speak supportively three times on our motion, but disappointed that not one member of those parties was in the senate chamber for the vote. ”
We’re the world’s most energy-rich country yet we have some of the highest electricity prices. We export our energy resources while skyrocketing power bills and taxes ensure the flow of money from everyday Australians’ pockets to the carpet-bagging predatory billionaires behind the net-zero fraud. Climate scammers fear the net-zero tide is turning. The public is waking up to this economic suicide and seeing the climate agenda for what it is – a corrupt globalist ideology and wealth transfer scheme. The latest unhinged meltdown from the Greens has nothing at all to do with rising temperatures. It has everything to do with fear of political irrelevancy. I was pleased to hear the Liberals and Nationals speak supportively three times on our motion but disappointed that not one member of those parties was in the Senate chamber for the vote. The message is clear and the backlash globally is now growing: Australia must cancel net-zero or the cost will be ruinous.

After the noise subsided, Mr Abbott explained the reason he was getting tired of the ceremony was that Australia ‘belongs to all of us not just to some of us’.
‘And I’m getting a little bit tired of seeing the flag of some of us flown equally with the flag of all of us,’ Mr Abbott went on to say.
‘And I just think that the longer this goes on, the more divisive and the more difficult and the more dangerous that it’s getting now.’
He was scathing of the way Australia’s history was portrayed by those arguing for the Voice.
‘What the authors of this Voice are putting to us is that we are essentially a racist country, we are essentially a country that should be ashamed of ourselves.’ Mr Abbott said.
‘We are essentially a country that needs to atone for 240 years of exploitation and oppression and I am bloody well voting no to all that crap.’
Mr Abbott argued that the problems of Indigenous Australians, especially in more remote areas, were not going to be solved by having a Voice.
‘The problem in these places is that the kids don’t go to school,’ he said.
