Not to mention taking a swing at flags and Welcome to Country ceremonies.

Good…. He is entitled to have an opinion on both. One many share on both issues…
If the best those that don’t agree with him it is to scream racist then it says more about them than him.

It says they’re opposed to racism? Shock horror.

Oh goody, our yearly, flog the black fella time.

Seriously guys, enough.

Stay strong sis. Be proud. NAIDOC theme this year will be '"The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy,"
Most of the current generation get it (spoiled by some racist clowns unfortunately) and the next generation will have our back sis. Times are changing.

Ive changed my mind on this. I now think we should change the date.

I'm all for freedom of expression too, it's a shame Dutton isn't. Forcing councils to hold citizenship ceremonies on the 26th against their will doesn't seem very democratic.

To what?

Tbh in the 80s when we changed the anthem we should have changed the flag, head of state and national day as well.

That day should have been declared Australia Day

 

[Seeds]

To what?

It doesnt really matter. The day before the grand final?

 

[Cmarsh]

No.....i am just confused whether it is 60000 or 250000? Apparently I should know, so I assume elders are aligned?

It's 250,000 years before Cook according to Brendan Kerin.

If you are trying to create a National day, I am not sure why the date wouldn't matter.

Last Saturday in January with the Monday off.

This is a stalling tactic, used effectively in the republic referendum and repeated ad nauseum ever since. That's a separate decision that can made after it's determined whether most people are in favour of a new date or simply if a decision is simply made.

I'm 100% fine with a change but it has to be at a similar time of the year. If the alternative is in winter I'd change to a no.

And how do you propose agreement will be reached on a new date when there is nothing obvious?

It's at least 50,000 years. This means Aboriginal history is one of the oldest continuous histories on the planet. How cool is that right?

As an Australian (note, not British) I'm bloody proud to say I come from a place with this absolutely epic human history right at my doorstep.

Meanwhile, the British rocked up less than 250 years ago. Why would I care about celebrating relatively recent British history at the expense of this insanely cool Australian history that's actually from where I live?

Must of been epic and cool for you last NAIDOC week.



I'm sure you went to some epic events.
Managed to catch Razzy Mak,good enough but not my style.
On the other hand,Karloo Rockers made it piss.
2025 should be fun.

That’s great, I hope you enjoy. I personally don’t look forward to Australia Day. For me it is a day of mourning

You'd think January 1 would be the most appropriate date. I would think that if federation happened on pretty much any other day, then the change would have happened already.

 

[Gough]

Can't give the woke mob a win, that's where we are now. There's a general consensus that January 26 is deeply flawed as a national day but any concession on that would be seen as weakness by people like Dutton. Essentially we're commemorating Australia on the 26th out of spite as much as anything else these days.

flipping weird set of posts there

Jan 1 is already a public holiday.

Secondly, date of federation as a National day will be seen by some as too linked to colonisation.

Is there a general consensus that Jan 26 is deeply flawed though? Still seems alot support it continuing.

Woolworths - rips off millions of customers with inflated prices purely for profit. Underpays thousands of workers
Aussies - meh!

Woolworths - stocks slightly less Oz day merch
Aussies - let's boycott and attempt to burn the store down.

I think a lot of people simply don't give a shit about the 'Australia' day thing, just like a public holiday in late Jan.

I suspect many people don't actually know much at all about what happened on that specific date.

Scott Morrison wanted to recreate a journey by Cook that he never actually made for the cost of something like $60 million. Australia is built around these deliberate distortions of history.
