Indigenous All Stars do not sing the National Anthem

[cochise]

Those 3 things need to change. Although they are symbolic, they are a sign of respect which has been lacking for 231 years. i believe individual treaties signed in the Nations local tongue and also English. Each having a customised treaty that focuses on their individual needs and future.
The only point at which we can move on is when these things are done and our highest incarceration suicide and unemployment rates in Australia become an anomaly

Very well said.

The Anthem should not be played (bad blue by the NRL) when an Australian Indigenous team is going to play.

I know they were not playing for Australia last night!

I am saying due to a conflict of interest, they shouldn't - instead of being hypocritical.

They played for every Aussie that loves respects and takes pride in Indigenous Ausralians and our cause. The anthem doesnt help

How is this possible and what do we have to do. This is my concern namely unrealistic demands are placed on everyone to fix something that is complex and requires a lot of work by the community that currently suffer from the issues of incarceration suicide and unemployment.

We can change the anthem, the flag and Australia day being celebrated on a different day but the other issues we can't solve or maybe better put these issues are extremely complex and not easy to fix.
