Episode 102 – Welcome to country
In this episode, Andy and Roger take on the controversial topic of Acknowledgement of and Welcome to Country practices in Australia, reflecting on their origins, purpose, and current implementation. They debate the appropriateness of these acknowledgements in everyday settings versus special occasions, discussing whether the practice has become performative or remains meaningful. The conversation explores how the changing nature of Acknowledgement of Country intersects with corporate culture, virtue signaling, and national identity, touching on topics like reconciliation, colonial guilt, and the broader implications of cultural practices on Australian society. Andy and Roger navigate the complexities of what it means to honour Indigenous heritage while questioning the line between respect and tokenism.
