“I would like to begin by apologising for any offence I have caused due to my recent social media post,” Addo-Carr said in a statement.
“As a proud First Nations man,I saw a message of support against displacement and land rights,and I shared this without full consideration to,or understanding of,the current events happening overseas.
“I recognise that this is a mistake. As soon as it was brought to my attention,I deleted my post and felt remorse.
“Having gone away and looked at what is happening overseas,it is a complex situation. There are no winners in war and where there is loss of life. The message I thought I was sharing,was a message of respect for all people.
“This is the message I wish to share now. Respect;respect for each other,and each other’s culture.”
