SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – In a groundbreaking announcement, Brendan Kerin, who just delivered the Welcome to Country at the AFL, revealed that Australia’s First Nations people have been inhabiting the continent for a staggering 250,000 years. This momentous declaration acknowledges the extensive history and deep cultural heritage of Indigenous Australians.
"This is a monumental moment in Australian history, and a long-overdue recognition of the rich and vibrant cultures of our First Nations peoples," said Kerin.

What a load of crap – mute
Welcome to country has become something for CEOs and a racist statement against colonialism. Shouldn’t matter how long you’ve lived is this beautiful country for we are all Australians. My family has lived here for over 200 years, do we need to be welcomed for the next 200 hundred years. I’m sure Mr Kerin has no issue taking his pay check.
