Comments on: Council Acknowledgement of Country could change https://coastcommunitynews.com.au/central-coast/news/2024/01/council-acknowledgement-of-country-could-change/ Independent News - Central Coast, NSW Australia Thu, 25 Jan 2024 09:13:38 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.7.11 By: Jujy https://coastcommunitynews.com.au/central-coast/news/2024/01/council-acknowledgement-of-country-could-change/#comment-11464 Thu, 25 Jan 2024 09:13:38 +0000 https://coastcommunitynews.com.au/?p=98759#comment-11464 it’s sad that a Statutory Authority will be named in Acknowledgement of Country, to Country, rather than Country itself. While these orgs function as interfaces to facilitae projects such as development (which is certainly a divisive issue) , they should not worm their way in as substitute for acknowledging Traditional Worldviews and Values of Inclusivity.Let’s face it, it looks like a fairly cynical grab for power so that people who havent wanted to become members of an org and a bureacracy, have their rights as members of the wider Aboriginal community dissipated. i really dont know of any Council who would be so rude as to acknowledge just one Aboriginal Organisation,and pretend th e y are Acknowledgibg coubtry.

That land wasn’t bought, it was stolen and they have never been compensated. What if someone did the same to your property — you’d be okay with that? The acknowledgement is pitiful but the very least we can do.

Speak for yourself! I’m proud our Council acknowledges those who looked after this land before we came along. If this makes you “really angry” you must have little else to worry about, good on you!

Especially the care for place – leave Wamberal Beach as a beach – No Seawall.

Acknowledging just indigenous makes the rest of us really angry.Scrap it and concentrate on fixing our roads would be a start.

This is the First Nation’s area we live in and we should be proud of that.
