Australia is our home. We are not visitors. We built it. We own it. That is non negotiable.
The idea that men and women who fought for Australia – and their descendants – today need to be welcomed to their own country as though they are visitors is preposterous

What does Acknowledgment of Country have to do with learning the law?
Australians had enough. My people have been in Australia since 1788. I reject my children & I being welcomed to the land we were conceived & born on Welcome to Country & Acknowledgment of Country are divisive, elitist, exclusionary & racist.

Torquemada would be proud of Macquarie University. Students at its law school enrolled in a legal subject called Age and The Law have been told they will fail part of their law degree if they refuse to deliver an Acknowledgment of Country when presenting an oral assessment.
This is compelled political speech. No ifs. No buts. This is a person in authority at Macquarie Law School telling non-Indigenous students that if they don’t deliver an Acknowledgment of Country, or if they belong to the local tribe, a Welcome to Country, in the fashion prescribed by the marker, they fail. No debate welcome.
If you use the compulsory words but don’t utter them with sufficient reverence, you still fail. Big Brother, or in this case maybe Big Sister – Associate Professor Dr Holly Doel-Mackaway runs the course – is apparently going to assess your feelings.
How?
