Enough of this division. We don’t need to be welcomed into our own country like foreigners. Every country has layered histories of settlement and migration. Treating one pre-modern occupancy as the only authentic claim turns history into a weapon and tells most citizens they are interlopers. That produces resentment, not cohesion. A nation belongs to its citizens, not a ritual that treats most of us as guests. Citizenship isn’t a visitor pass. Australians find this alienating, not unifying.
