I thought you meant we as a nation. This is in reaction to boos at welcome to country at Anzac day events in Melbourne, so it now has more relevance. Deciding to not have them is different to cancelling it on the day after rehearsals and preparation, purely to appease the worst in our society. By minimising it, you are playing into making it political, the very reason some government for not having welcome to country.

Wasn't that the Nazi's in Melbourne that interrupted the service?

ie the Melbourne Storm board cancelled Welcome to Country because literal Nazis booed it at the Dawn Service?

Yes, they kowtowed to Nazis. Or, chose Nazis over inclusion.
