This is the best summary I could come up with:


Senator Nampijinpa Price told The Australian on Monday that she believes welcome to country ceremonies at sporting events and public gatherings were "definitely divisive".

"There is no problem with acknowledging our history, but rolling out these performances before every sporting event or public gathering is definitely divisive," Senator Nampijinpa Price told The Australian.

Marcus Stewart, from the Uluru Dialogue, said he believed Senator Nampijinpa Price was deliberately spreading misinformation as part of her campaign against an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

Welcome to country ceremonies have become more common as part of public events in recent times, but according to Reconciliation Australia the protocols have existed for thousands of years.

Senator Nampijinpa Price's comments follow Nationals leader David Littleproud revealing a split in the Coalition over Indigenous affairs policy going into the next election, after Opposition Leader Peter Dutton proposed symbolic constitutional recognition alongside legislated local and regional advisory bodies for Indigenous Australians.

Mr Stewart said a lack of consensus from the Coalition on Indigenous affairs policy would only delay progress for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
