I think this tourism website (margaretriver.com) is probably the wokest Australian thing I have ever seen… It’s out-of-this-world-level woke. More woke than I even knew existed, frankly. Even paper calendars now feature the (conlang) “Aboriginal name” for my state, as of this year. Madness. - Kotaku In Action 2

I realise few will actually likely see this, now, but it’s important to note that bit at the top there - “Margaret River - on Wadandi Boodja”…

My guess is as good as yours for what that means, lol. “Wadandi Land”, perhaps..?

People in this country do not speak like this. This is a dead language of an extinct (full-blooded) people. It’s very fucking weird for a “tourism” site to go all in like this, just as it would be equally weird for an Australian tourism site to start using Dutch (first Europeans to visit here) or French (first to land in parts) instead of English…

Nay, I think this may be worse. At least those languages are not dead, lol…

Fuck I hate this bullshit.
