0:17 1:19 his opinions have horrified the established elite that nobody likes

[petersmith]

Sam is right we've had a gut full of this nonsense there's simply no need for it every sporting event now has this Welcome to Country spiel and I think it should be stopped what's it achieving? Nothing!!

[jxob]

Now sit back and wait for "comments are turned off"

[timshannon]

It's about time elected representatives did what they were elected to do!
Telling people what to say, do and agree with, is undemocratic.
I'm with you Sam! 100%!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[timshannon]

I agree with Sam, 100% ✓ 👍
Pull your head in Albo! 👎

[TheBluesine]

I support Sam 100%. Welcome to country is a load of rubbish. We are ONE NATION, and thats called Australia.

[chrishooper]

As you can see by the comments most agree with Sam.

[Phil-yner]

I think the majority of Australians agree with Sam

[zympf]

Sam is a hero for speaking out .. we have had enough of the looney left lies

[RobertSmith-iixb]

100% agree with sam.
Politician's just say what they are told, just like the t.v media.
Welcoming me to my own country, get a grip. Start contributing something to the country before you welcome me to it.

[neilgregory]

I'm a veteran and have bled for Australia. I have lost friends in defence of Australia. Why do we need to be welcomed to our country?! 🤬

[tomanypeople]

IT'S all part of the aboriginal industry.
THIS SAYING, TRADITIONAL OWNERS WILL COME BACK TO BITE US.

[trudiramien]

Keep it up sam you are rightit was dreamt up by ernie dingo years ago vote no

[Coastal]

Sam Newman should be Australian of the year! He’s spitting straight facts!!

[timothyhollins]

He has every right to his freedom of speech. Thankyou Sam for your strength.

[liamgross]

Welcome to country has become a grift, our childcare centre paid an elder $600 for 5 minutes. The woman left without talking to anyone, didn’t even acknowledge to the 3 very obvious ingenious children.

[raymondharvey]

Most "mobs" don't even agree with each other and the socialsit clap-trap of "welcome to country" is boring and irrelevant, just like Lidia Thorpe. Totally agree with Sam and I think deep down many many people also do. We are all equal in this country already, so no need for apologies. How many $B's already wasted on aboriginal projects with no audit or accountability?

[mmonsal]

They were never organized as a Nation, just saying
The Aboriginal Industry doesn't need a Voice it needs an Audit.

[mikthe]

Agree 100%. I told my kids that every time they have welcome to country ceremonies at school, he and all his friends should shout out "Boring !! Boring!!"
