‘Predictable’: Indigenous group votes to ban Welcome to Country ceremonies on their ancestral land

Sky News host Rowan Dean has discussed the Juru people of the Burdekin Shire voting to ban Welcome to Country ceremonies from taking place on their ancestral land. Juru Elder and Chair of the meeting Randal Ross suggested that the process had become a “business” and that it was being “abused”. He also claimed that it made elders feel “embarrassed”. “This is hilarious – well, not hilarious, but predictable as well,” Mr Dean said.
