Because they lived here for 60,000+ years and we came in, as an invading force, and dispossessed them of their land. The least we can do is a brief statement at the start of functions.
And the pitiful ranting and raving of an illiterate whinger like you isn't gonna change anything.
typical ANU communist who needs to come live in the real world.
should the japanese acknowledge the ainu tribes before their functions?
should the anglo briitish acknowledge the celts? they came in and invaded, killing them and driving them off their land too, of course
the same has been true for every civilization
we would all be acknowledging some tribal group some way back
double standard
the problem with the leftist idealogues is that they cant think logically, and cant think for themselves
they think whatever they are told to by the politically correct propaganda machine, and no matter how logical your argument is, theyll still say
"oh its different because.... because..... they are aboriginal!"
youll grow out of it once you start making a decent amount of money
its a phase.
