Aussies overwhelmingly reject Welcome to Country in staggering poll

 

Tens of thousands of Aussies have made their opinion clear on Welcome to Country ceremonies following the Anzac Day booing controversy.

 

Asked, “How do you feel about Welcome to Country ceremonies?”, 65 per cent said “they should stop completely”.

 

Twenty-three per cent said “there should be less” and 8 per cent said “there is the right amount”.

 

Just 4 per cent said “there should be more”.

 

Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, federal opposition leader Peter Dutton and National Party leader David Littleproud have all indicated support for a winding back of the tradition.

 

Speaking at a Voice to Parliament No campaign event in 2023, Mr Abbott said he is “getting a little bit sick of Welcomes to Country because it belongs to all of us, not just to some of us”.
