If this RSL wants to do it, fine, if they don’t want to do it, fine, it’s not compulsory.” What the government should be doing is saying, they should decide whether they want to have welcome to country, an acknowledgment of country, [at the] opening of parliament … but on other occasions, leave it to people and organisations to make up their own mind. This is just – look, this will work for him in some areas but it is just pure culture-war stuff and I think it turns a lot of people off. I think it’s a mistake to go down that route.
