He called on people to boo once and walked it back to slow hand clapping or ignoring it all together which is what most people do..

Most tolerate it…

And whoever it is isn’t my uncle or aunty so they don’t have that title with me .

No one needs to sit politely and listen to stuff like the below which occurred at the Canberra ceremony…

What is that? Where'd you get it ad what's the context?

Btw the term "deadly" is a term of endearment in Indigenous culture.

The tide is turning and the people who call Melbourne Naarm, who also sadly block our gorgeous trams in the CBD from taking lovely Australians to their Australia Day festivities can take their protests to inside their soy latte, card only, gender neutral cafes.

The CBD parade on the 26th had dropped attendance to 7,000 from 70,000 from 2018 to 2020. No one had cared.

The only reason it "felt" different this year is the media were screaming about it to high heaven for weeks prior, I didn't sense anything organic on the streets in most of the city, only a few more whitebread nationalist areas.

This was a bit weak from Albo, calling Ley's crap "a bit strange" is far less of the bollocking she deserved for those comments:

Anthony Albanese says Sussan Ley's Mars colonisation analogy 'disrespectful' to First Nations

The prime minister said the deputy Opposition leader's comparison of the British settlement of Australia to a mission to Mars was a "strange" analogy.

Musk appears to have lost interest in a Mars colony. It was supposed to be started by now. Which is why I likened the utterance to Reagan’s space wars in case we encounter hostile aliens

About as good as it feels celebrating Australia Day knowing that hummingbirds can fly backwards. Really reflective moments

The issue has been resolved… the vocal minority won’t accept it…

53% of Australians aged between 18-34 is not a minority. The issue will continue to be contentious given that generation will be gradually moving into the seat of power.

So how was everyone’s Jan 26? For me couldn’t see any difference to a normal Sunday. Same amount of people out in the street and cafes in the morn, no one having any “Australia” BBQs in the neighbourhood, no sign of flags or flag clothing. A few people at pubs but zero flag waving unlike what was predicted.

I’m in Perth, apparently the city fireworks were a bit bigger because of Mayor Zempilas’s turn to the Liberals but apparently a bit underwhelming too, those who went said tilt was easy to park and drive home so for Perth that means crowds weren’t super flash.

Did see on the Perth Reddit that there was one part of the city however that was full of boats with Australian flags and flag wavers along the river - Mandurah, which for non WA residents is our bogan and boomer heaven. No surprise there.

For the rest of the state it could have been called “normal Sunday”.

I flew in from interstate. No reference to it by the airports or the airline (Qantas). On the drive home I saw a person walking across a bridge holding an Australian flag.

Put it to a vote, let's see what happens

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

You really do want to try and demonstrate some sort of cultural superiority over others, don't you. Quite sad really.

Jumping at shadows now mate?

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Because they don’t want indigenous culture recognised as part of Australian culture, so to denigrate it they make up things like “the WTC was invented by Ernie Dingo”. It’s so they can denigrate the culture to diminish it and ensure Australian culture is solely based off white Anglo culture.

When you see the way most of us whiteys dance you can imagine they might be feeling a little insecure.

Maybe look up “rhetoric” in the dictionary?

My efforts at weddings have set white peoples dancing credibility back generations. We need to stick to walking and yoga type activities

Imagine how much better this thread would be if people didn’t think merely listing a bunch of stupid, incorrect stereotypes passed for discussion.

It's the lefties who've become toxic though remember, while the right have merely become completely unable to articulate an intelligible point.

 

[schneebly111]

to inside their soy latte, card only, gender neutral cafes.

Lattes are a popular drink, even in areas that aren’t “lefty”, 5% of payments are cash and all cafes in the nation are gender neutral.

I don’t think that comment had the impact you thought it would

If Australia Day gets changed to another date, does January 26 remain Invasion Day with marches and protests?

If no, then I guess Invasion Day doesn't mean that much its just a protest against white Australia and hiding behind 'Aust Day'.

If yes, then changing the date didn't solve any of the issues.

 

[SSwans2011]

After the marches, in Brisbane there's usually music, food and cultural performances. There's probably more of that.

If no, then I guess Invasion Day doesn't mean that much its just a protest against white Australia and hiding behind 'Aust Day'.

That is an absolutely wild conclusion to derive from that.

If yes, then changing the date didn't solve any of the issues.

That's not the point of changing the date.

 

[SSwans2011]

Obviously changing the date doesn't take away the trauma of the stolen generation, dispossession, genocides etc..

But it does at least show our First Nations brothers and sisters that we hear them when they say it's a rough day for them and that we want to include them when we celebrate our country. It's such a minor and easy step forward and people still want to stand in the way of it. Depressing.

Yeah, their opposition to the day could never be about ulterior motives such as power

Sept 11 is a rough day for people.
Anniversaries of loved ones death or birthdays are a rough day for people.

World goes on.

Ownership over ones fortunes and resilience are such success determinators.

Enabling the lack of ownership and resilience is not in my repertoire.

I think the majority would say "lets do it" then. But next year nothing will have happened and well be back here again

You reckon Yanks would be call with people treating it as a day of celebration?

Anniversaries of loved ones death or birthdays are a rough day for people.

No shit. They're also not usually a day of celebration tied to the reason that person is dead either. And that is one person death, not the symbolic starting point of what was effectively a genocide.

Ownership over ones fortunes and resilience are such succuss determinators.

Uhhh yeah, that's why people protest this issue thats importantto them. Every year.

Enabling the lack of ownership and resilience is not in my rerepertoire.

I legitimately do not know what point you are trying to make here.

By the way, did you actually read the article you posted the screenshot of above? Can you tell us what was problematic about anything Satour said? Or was it simply that the word "power" being associated with a blackfella made you uncomfortable?

If it clashed with say Thanksgiving Day I am sure they would not cancel Thanksgiving Day.

I have a cousin and nephew who share a birth date with my deceased father. It would be absolutely wild if I declined invites to birthdays. I couldn't fathom not going or asking them to not celebrate. This is something that directly affects me in this very generation, not something that happened 250 years ago to another generation (albeit some affects still felt today).

Protesting and stewing on same issue shows a lack of resilience.

By enabling change the date you are just enabling a victim mentality, not allowing successful attributes to grow. The victim mentality creates losers. Eg uni dropouts because of high school bullies, crime rates because mummy didn't smack me, etc.

Yes, she actually said keep the date because blah blah blah. The word power being used is very telling that the whole thing is about power.
