Social media star Ethan Marrell, known as Ozzy Man Reviews, has posted an impassioned, expletive message for the neo-Nazis who heckled and booed during the ceremony in Melbourne.

In a video to his more than 6 million YouTube subscribers and 2.3 million Instagram followers, Ozzy Man told the neo-Nazis to “f*** off”. (Watch in the video player above).

“No matter what ceremony they perform for, you’d probably whinge,” he said.

“Indigenous people could call it Enjoy Your Country and the caucasians will go ‘why do I need to be told to enjoy me country, this isn’t the time of the place for it’.

“They could call it Leave the Country and your smooth brain would definetly pop a f***ing aneursym. Neo-Nazis, f*** off.”

Neo-Nazis who attended the Shrine of Remembrance in the Melbourne CBD led the interruption at the traditional Anzac Day service when Bunurong elder Mark Brown began his Welcome to Country.

Their booing was drowned out by the rest of the crowd who cheered in protest against their disruption. A similar heckling incident also occurred during a service at Perth’s Kings Park.

A planned Welcome to Country ceremony for Friday night’s NRL clash between the Storm and Rabbitohs in Melbourne was then cancelled at the last minute.

‘They should stop completely’

The social media star’s rant comes as tens of thousands of Aussies have made their opinion clear on Welcome to Country ceremonies.

news.com.au has run a poll this morning, which almost 30,000 Australians have responded to.

An overwhelming majority of them (65 per cent) said “they should stop completely”, 25 per cent said there should be less, seven per cent said there was currently the right amount and three per cent said there should be more.

Liberals pledge to scale back Welcome to Country ceremonies

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese unleashed on those who booed the Welcome to Country at Dawn Services in Melbourne and Perth, saying they “must face the full force of the law”.

“There is no place in Australia for what occurred,” Mr Albanese told reporters in Canberra on Friday, labelling the behaviour “a disgrace”.

“The disruption of Anzac Day is beyond contempt, and the people responsible must face the full force of the law. This was an act of low cowardice on a day when we honour courage and sacrifice.

“Anzac Day is when we come together to remember all those who have served our country in war and the cause of peace, including those who continue to serve our nation today.”

Liberal leader Peter Dutton also strongly condemned the actions of the neo-Nazis, but Mr Dutton and Liberal frontbencher Jacinta Nampijinpa Price have previously backed scaling back the use of Welcome to Country ceremonies.

Former prime minister Tony Abbott and National Party leader David Littleproud have also indicated support for a winding back of the tradition.

Mr Dutton said in 2023: “It’s a respectful way to acknowledge the Indigenous heritage of our country.

“But I do get the point that when you go to a function and there’s an MC who I think appropriately can do recognition, you then get the next five or ten speakers who each do their own Acknowledgement to Country, and frankly, I think it detracts from the significance of the statement that’s being made.”

Senator Price has described the tradition as “divisive”.

“There is no problem with acknowledging our history, but rolling out these performances before every sporting event or public gathering is definitely divisive,” she said.

“It’s not welcoming, it’s telling non-Indigenous Australians ‘this isn’t your country’ and that’s wrong. We are all Australians and we share this great land.”

She said “around the country” there were some people whose “only role, their only source of income, is delivering Welcome to Country”.

“Everyone’s getting sick of Welcome to Country,’’ she said.

Victoria Police have confirmed the man who led the booing in Melbourne expected to be charged on summons with offensive behaviour.
