    As an ex-serviceman I'm utterly appalled at the . Indigenous Australians served this country and have every right to be part of and proud of their culture.

    Well fuck the RSL, then. And boycott their parade.

    Before you form an opinion, read the reasoning behind RSLWA's decision. My view is Morrison's regime has emboldened these putrid, retrograde attitudes. We will see more and more of this if we let it pass.

    There's just not enough tributes being paid to identity politics, so they had to hijack & the RSL too.

    The finally coming to its senses in the face of widespread condemnation but the damage is done and while the WA premier may want to consign the controversy to the past the RSL confirmed it lives in the past.

    It may seem mean to some, but if you step back you realise we are one country and one flag regardless of race! I am sure there are immigrants who also fought and we don't celebrate their flags on Anzac Day, so why would this be different?

    Why does the RSL have so much power over the way the public can mark Anzac Day – a national day of commemoration for all Australians – especially when it only represents a minority of veterans?

    I strongly urge RSLWA to reconsider its decision regarding Welcome to Country and Aboriginal recognition at Anzac and Remembrance Day events. This recognition has occurred for many years and has added something extra special to the occasion. It should be allowed to continue.

    A year ago the WA State Government provided WA RSL with a $4.6m grant for its new Anzac HQ revamp and a year later the RSL bans the involvement of Australia’s First Nation peoples from . Time to call in favours to reverse this ludicrous situation.

    So, is the RSLWAs stance on Welcome to Country, really just about their fear that the colonial invasion wars will end up a part of ? Will the RSL include their time in the culture wars in future ceremonies?
