That ever so Australian British ensign flag that is hardly distinguishable from all those other British ensign flags.
‘Yay we’re a British colony’ is hardly ‘Australian’ pride.

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.

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

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.

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.
