Kyle Sandilands has put in his two cents on the Welcome to Country debate currently surrounding Anzac Day and the Federal Election, demanding people focus on more serious issues found in First Nations communities.

The radio star, 53, has previously said the indigenous ceremony, in which a host typically acknowledges the traditional owners of the land and pays respect to Elders past and present, has been devalued by its ‘overuse’.

The shock jock has backed his beliefs in a heated moment on his KIIS FM show, saying critics of the Welcome to Country should be questioning the ‘huge domestic violence problem in Aboriginal communities’ instead.

‘This is what p***es me off about this election and this whole country. We all think things and no one ever says anything,’ he began as he referenced a Daily Mail Australia poll.

Asked if there should be a Welcome to Country at the Anzac Day service on Friday, 90 per cent of almost 8,000 respondents to the poll answered ‘No’.

‘Why isn’t anyone going to ask the Prime Minister [Anthony Albanese] what he’s going to do about the huge domestic violence problem in Aboriginal communities?’ Sandilands added.

He continued: ‘That’s their problem. I speak to Aborigines. I’ve got family that are living in those communities. That’s their big issue.’

Newsreader Brooklyn Ross asked: ‘So what are you saying? Worrying about Welcome to Country is not important? Is that what you mean?’

‘You don’t have to roll this thing out and dull the vibe of a proper Welcome to Country,’ Sandilands clarified.

‘Some people are having Welcome to Country at the beginning of Zoom meetings. I don’t mind it at a sporting event or somewhere where it’s a reflection of the nation.

‘I just think it should be something big and should be done as a beautiful experience for people to enjoy. I know there were some people booing at the Anzac parade. All I read about that was “neo-Nazis” were doing it.’

A group of apparent neo-Nazis who booed a Welcome to Country during an Anzac Day dawn service in Melbourne sparked a fierce criticism from Australians over the weekend.

Thousands of people travelled in the pre-dawn darkness on Friday to commemorate those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

But a group of between six and ten people, allegedly including prominent neo-Nazi figure Jacob Hersant, heckled and booed during Bunurong elder Mark Brown’s Welcome to Country at the start of the event.

‘It’s our country!’ one yelled, while another screamed: ‘We don’t have to be welcomed.’

The boos and shouts lasted the entire three minutes of the address.

When Victorian Governor Margaret Gardner delivered the official Anzac Day address afterwards, which acknowledged Aboriginal Australians, there were further boos.

Hersant, the leader of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Network, was later seen in a heated exchange with a reporter.

‘This is a day for Anzacs, it’s not for Aboriginals,’ he said before police intervened.

The incident has attracted condemnation from across the political spectrum and sparked debate about Welcome to Country ceremonies in Australia.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton were asked to weigh in on the appropriateness of Welcome to Country ceremonies during the final leader’s debate on Sunday night.

During the debate, which was hosted by Channel Seven political editor Mark Riley, Mr Dutton was asked about the ugly scenes at Anzac Day.

‘Anzac Day, that is our most sacred day of the year, and it is a time to respect diggers. It’s not a time for booing any part of that ceremony,’ Mr Dutton said.

Riley also questioned the Opposition Leader on whether he would include Welcome to Country ceremonies at official events if he won the Federal Election on May 3.

Mr Dutton claimed he wanted to ‘unite our country’ under one flag, the Australian flag, in contrast to the Prime Minister who stands in front of three flags.

‘People have said to me as we had moved across the country, that there is a sense across the community that it is overdone,’ he added.

‘For the opening of Parliament, fair enough, it is respectful to do. But for the start of every meeting at work, or the start of a football game, I think a lot of Australians think it is overdone.

‘It cheapens the significance of what it was meant to do, it divides the country, not dissimilar to what the Prime Minister did with the Voice.’

Mr Albanese was asked directly if he thought Welcome to Countries were ‘overdone’.

‘It is up to people to determine whether they have a Welcome to Country or not. But from my perspective, for major events, it is of course a sign of respect,’ he responded.
