This is a myopic perspective and completely disregards what this date means to the people who have been here the longest

The country isn’t a first come first served arrangement like a sizzler….

No one group of people has any greater say than any other of what gets celebrated and what doesn’t..

The best national anthems are about killing other people: France and Scotland.

Everything else is pish.

Are you into the US national anthem?

Also a war theme.

Yeah, but rubbish tempo.

Hi gang!!! I started my Australia Day long weekend with a night out with workmates. Excellent night had by all. On Sunday we will have a bbq with the family and enjoy Australia Day and be thankful for the country we are lucky enough to be born in.

Do I care about the date???? Nope. Am I thankful that I live in the country I live in? Absolutely!! Do I think Australia Day date should be changed? If the majority of Australians believe it, then absolutely!!! If the majority of Australians do not, then absolutely not!!!

On Invasion Day, I will mourn, reflect and continue to have hope that the next generations will continue to understand. Every year I see more and more people who listen and want to move forward. This thread is a brilliant example of just how many people have empathy and understand that for some this is not a day of celebration, it is a day of pain.

I didn't know how to say it but I'm just thankful for your contributions on this forum and they have really educated me

It's more about the tune. You need something uplifting. The lyrics can be generic national anthem nonsense about the homeland, uniting against a foreign foe, some event in history.

Brazil is not bad.



And Italy.

You posted this with glee, to spit in the face of people who have shared their very real pain with you.
Regardless the lengths people like South of the Yarra have gone to educated and explain even the basics to you, you take every opportunity you can to laugh at them.

250000 years????? Hahaha

English is not taught at schools?

Great response!!!!! Just ignore ABS statistics hey....i think this clearly demonstrates the misinformation you are trying to spread.

I wasn't relying on Sky News, I was hoping to learn something from welcome to countries, but I am now ever so confused.

You're a hateful and vile representation of Australia and Australians.

You celebrate the harm and damage, and rub it in the faces of those who live with it.

And you will never change.
