True.

You could be 12 and record your first song tomorrow & if it's got a guitar solo you've made your first Dad Rock song.

Lose yourself by Eminem is more than two weeks old and begins with a guitar riff.

What's your actual point?

Every year you spout this stuff as if we think changing the date is going to reduce the gap or solve indigenous people's issues

Stop being such a contrarian ninny

I think to more people than what everyone here realises, changing the date doesn't change how a lot of people feel about Aus day and that number of people is growing, and I'm a little shocked it is being dismissed by everyone, when I'm one of the least socially progressive around here but the only one acknowledging this. Most think change the date and call stumps, and that the abolish crowd are, well I dunno, not something they are willing to to articulate, but not people they agree with.

I don't believe in pointless change or moving sideways. I do believe based on the current situation, a date change is a sugar hit of social justice that will not last long at all before the same awkward sentiment kicks up again. I don't know how this country arrives at a point where we can have a national day to be proud of and unified by, that doesn't consist of demonstrations and protest against the very concept of Australia.

It's become the worst four letter word in the english speaking world.

Whilst we're on the subject of a national day that includes everyone, any chance we could do similar with the flag, instead of having three official ones?

It is interesting that there are so many awesome and embraced place names all around Oz that have indigenous roots yet we can't seem to get past this fairly minor impass

Yes but nobody actually thinks it's "change the date and call stumps" except for you

obviously there are many other bigger issues that still need to be addressed. It is however relatively easy and a symbolic gesture (much like Rudd's apology many years ago) which, while it may not have fixed anything tangible, it's at the very least a recognition and removes it from the debate. Much like constitutional recognition would've been

But no, you have to take a relentlessly opposing position ignoring all logic and sense

I still can't get past that we closed the only automaker that paid tribute to Aboriginal culture in the world, so we could drive the whittest vehicles in the world.

I think to a growing crowd of people it does none of that. I might be ignoring logic and sense but I reckon you're ignoring the way people actually feel about it. That's why I cannot get enthused or hopeful about it at all (though I have no objection to it).

Anyway I'll drop for now it's still ****ing weeks away.

I think you're vastly overestimating the prevalence of the 'abolish Australia Day' movement. If it had more than, say, 5% support among Australians I'd be shocked.

Even putting mere popularity aside, it's also a much harder argument to make. Given our nation's history there might be arguments against having a national day, but there are strong arguments for having a national day as well. There are however no good arguments as to why we have to have it on Genocide Day, unless you count 'it triggers the lefties' as a good argument.

You've gone on about it here more than anyone else farken

Aus Day to you is Butcher's non-selection to scorchy

You have to be a glorified ranga strumming open chords to be considered modern.

We have literally no national identity anymore anyway because everyone hates each other, so who cares what happens to Australia Day honestly.

Bluey is the best thing to happen recently because kids are actually being exposed to Australian identity and culture.

Albeit upper middle class Australia.
