I don’t agree with former Geelong star, Sam Newman, on many things, but I must agree with him that the “Welcome to country” has become more than a bit wearing at the footy. [Am I allowed to say that?] Newman told Darren James on 3AW this morning that it’s divisive and a mistake.

However, I doubt that Sam would agree with the treaty in my blog (maybe a prologue to the Constitution) which would set to socio-economic rights the original dispossession of Australia’s first nations peoples.
