Make Poverty History Hobart Welcome to Country
Click here to view video.
In the weekend I had the pleasure of attending a Make Poverty History concert on the lawn of Parliament in Hobart, Tasmania. I filmed bits of it and you can see the welcome to country in this piece of footage.
Welcome to Country is an important protocol to be followed as it is an acknowledgment of the traditional owners of the land and it is usually an endorsement of the purpose of an event by the local people.
The woman featured in this video is Trudy Mallooga (apologies if I have spelt this wrong) from the Tasmanian Aboriginal Council. She gives an excellent analysis of the effects of poverty on Aboriginal people and the hypocrisy of government when it comes to dealing with these issues.
