Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate says he won’t consider introducing an acknowledgement of country at his council’s meetings in the current term.
According to a report from the ABC, Mayor Tate believes having an acknowledgement before council meetings is not efficient, and he “doesn’t waste a minute on other things”.
While 60 per cent of Queensland’s councils include an acknowledgement of country at their meetings, Mayor Tate says Gold Coast City Council won’t join them before the end of the current term in March 2024.
