A conservative think tank claims Bob Hawke would have backed Pauline Hanson’s push to ban Welcome to Country ceremonies, citing a vague 1988 speech. But that’s a gross misreading—Hawke was talking about immigrants’ commitment to Australia, not Indigenous land rights. Just days before, he explicitly honored Indigenous dispossession and land claims. Far from endorsing Hanson, Hawke was a lifelong anti-racism advocate who condemned her views as “bigoted.” To suggest he’d support banning Acknowledgments of Country is not just wrong—it’s absurd.
