What sort of explanation is, “too difficult”? It’s what has been offered by this group of event organizers titled Growth Faculty. No growth no progress only shame shown by their actions. Too difficult is their explanation for their cancellation of Aunty Joy but who made that executive racist decision?
“Aunty Joy has welcomed guests to Wurundjuri land for more than 40 years, providing safe passage to several high-profile people, including Queen Elizabeth II, Nelson Mandela, and the Dalai Lama.”
Key points:
- Aunty Joy Murphy was due to perform a Welcome to Country ceremony for the former US president’s event in Melbourne
- The Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation says the move has caused “deep offence” to all First Nations people
- Barack Obama has been touring Australia for an international speaking event
“Our Welcome to Country protocols are our traditional law and practice that have been used to welcome and offer protection to our guests on Wurundjeri lands for millennia.”
