Qantas quietly removes "acknowledgement to country" PA announcement on landing

Took a number of flights last week and observed "acknowledgement to country" over the PA on landing wasn't used anymore. Whilst waiting to disembark, I asked the FA about it, and she said "yes" it got quietly removed last week.

On my Dash8 flights into Sydney, it’s been replaced with a simple “Welcome to Sydney, Gadigal country. If you phone is in reach…” or similar depending on location.

Would be interesting to know if on the board CSM is required to read out the alternative names, or do personal beliefs trump the company script?

Still say they do it on their website and a quick google search says they have amended some of the wording. Seems strange to remove it around reconciliation week if it was very recent.
Don't JQ and VA still do it?
