acknowledgement of land in so-called australia vs a park being named after a settler
City of Adelaide acknowledges that we are meeting on the traditional country of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains and pays respect to Elders past and present. (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welcome_to_Country#Description)
vs
Originally named "Rotunda Park", the park was renamed in 1907 in honour of Sir Thomas Elder, an early settler, pastoralist, businessman and philanthropist, who had donated the Elder Park Rotunda, erected in 1882. (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_Park)
.. and i thought the park might have been named in honor of Kaurna Elders :|

re: acknowledgement of land in so-called australia @sk @duc My thoughts was that it was more a part of the overall movement of saying sorry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Sorry_Day

Overall it's certainly not enough to properly make right what is wrong, but there is a lot of conflict over what should be done, as was shown during the voice referendum recently:
