I liked the way I heard someone else talk about it:
With all of the issues in this election like cost of living, housing crisis, the environment, nuclear power vs renewable energy, education, healthcare etc where does Welcome to Country rank for you?
We've been talking about welcome to countries for years now, its blown up a bit in the mainstream media because of the melbourne storm cancellation/uncancellation
It's blown up since the voice, if you watch clips from CPAC Australia you can watch every extremely funny conservative dickhead make the same joke about it for the last 2 years or so.
