Because a Nazi booed a Welcome to Country on Anzac Day, Channel 7 decided debating Welcomes to Country was a valid question. Once again the racist Australian media shows where it stands.

Why did the Last Post need to be played before every footy game on the weekend when ANZAC day was Friday. Why have Welcome to Country to start meetings? We should be wary of forcing cultural practices on others - admittedly it happens all the time e.g. Easter but questioning isn't wrong or racist.
