All the emotion of this is sentred on aboriginy arguments but one important part of our society has been forgotten & that is the veterans we have fought , died & payed a heavy toll both mental & physically under the current flag & anthem sureley some consideration should be given to how we feel on this issue I am not beating a war drum but as a veteran who was wounded in combat there is no way I want change regarding the anthem or flag
Because the Hakka is actually part of Maori culture dating back hundreds of years. The aboriginal war dance was made in the 00’s it actually has zero cultural relevance
Plus a league side developed it so why the hell would union teams use it

So what? Why dont they do it before every test in both codes? Everything is "made up" at some stage.

Because it’s made up, it’s manufactured, indigenous Australians didn’t do a war cry before battle, hell they didn’t even really have battles

Why dont the Aus league team and Aus union team do this before every test like the Kiwi league and All Blacks do?

I love the start of the Indigenous war dance where they’re in a circle and they all drop to leave Mitchell standing in the middle. Very dramatic...
