Australian government under criticism for spending over $450K on ‘welcome ceremonies'
Nearly half a million dollars was spent on 'Welcome to Country' ceremonies by the Australian government over two financial years. Critics, including shadow spokesman James Stevens, argue that the costs are excessive. The ceremonies are defended for their cultural significance, but opponents suggest reallocating funds to address Indigenous issues more effectively.
