Ken Wyatt says politicising welcome to country ‘just adds to the division’
Former Liberal minister Ken Wyatt emphasized on RN Breakfast that welcome to country ceremonies should remain apolitical, as they signify respect for Indigenous culture and land. Expressing disappointment in opposition leader Peter Dutton’s remarks about the ceremonies being “overdone,” Wyatt warned that politicizing these cultural practices fosters division within the community. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Treasurer Jim Chalmers dismissed concerns about Australia’s AAA credit rating, asserting their economic management will maintain it if re-elected.
