Paywalled. Was, and still is. Amos Aiken, Natasha Robinson (2012-11-13) "Elder should shrug off Aitken white man remark, says MP" The Australian. Cited in [1] — Pelagic ( messages ) – (12:48 Fri 29, AEDT) 01:48, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Could somebody tell me what I'm missing in seeing an inconsistency between consecutive paragraphs here: one states that Welcomes to Country have been in use for "thousands of years", yet the very next documents that the first to be "publicly performed" was in in 1974: which is it? Rpot2 ( talk) 00:15, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
I have doubts also as to the validity of the claims its been done for thousands of years as the word country is unknown to first nations. it was an introduced term by white folks. even first nations who travelled over seas (yes it happened) did not have a word for country in their cultures. a welcome to the village ceremony can not really be considered a welcome to country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.97.245.84 ( talk) 01:52, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

The article currently says
Some jurisdictions, such as New South Wales, make a welcome (or, failing that, acknowledgement) mandatory at all government-run events. [1]
The cited reference says "The Protocols require..." but "Compliance: Not Mandatory". The link from that - ref Recognition of Aboriginal Cultural Protocols and Practices - doesn't work, but the Wayback Machine found it at https://www.dpc.nsw.gov.au/assets/memos-circulars/9c019010f0/Indigenous-Ceremony.pdf, which says (for "official" events) "As a minimum requirement, an Acknowledgement of Country ceremony should be undertaken".
If the Protocol itself is not mandatory - per the cite in the article - surely the welcome/acknowledgement is not mandatory. Or is there some other reference that says it is? Mitch Ames ( talk) 03:02, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
