Welcome to Country used to tell Australians they are ‘guests on their own land'
'It feels almost like it's being used now as a way of telling people that they are not on their own land, that they are effectively guests on their own land,' Mr Antic told Sky News host Caroline Di Russo.
'It's not hard to imagine why that would rile people up.
'We saw that with the Voice, it was very clear Australians didn't want the Voice … I think we are seeing the same with Welcome to Country.'

Racial discrimination act 18C and the case against hate preacher Wissam Haddad
Sky News host Caleb Bond discusses the case against Muslim preacher Wissam Haddad and how he was found to have breached the racial discrimination act. 'I do not think 18C should exist, I think it is a handbrake on free speech and it has, on many occasions, been weaponised against genuine debate in this country, just as it was against our colleague here at Sky News, Andrew Bolt, 14 years ago,' Mr Bond said. 'My point is, that it is not the law's job to stop people from being racist and it never will stop people from being racist, because even if they stop saying stuff openly, they will still say it privately and their garbage will simply go underground. 'I want to make it clear, I have always been opposed to 18C, I still am opposed to 18C and that does not change because in this case I am more sympathetic to those who took on an Islamic preacher.'
