We should consign the 26 January to the scrapheap as a national holiday - let NSW have it - as it it celebrates the arrival of the First Fleet.   Australia as a nation was established on 1 January 1901.  That is what we should be celebrating as Australia Day.   Most Australians know buggerall about their own history.  Tsk, tsk.

Absolutely.  26th January is 'Invasion Day.'  Australia became a nation on 1/1/1901.

Yes, that's right.

However, January 1st is already a public holiday.

Except of course the First Fleet arrived before that. Between 18-20 January. The 26th is merely when they went to Sydney Cove.

Correct.  It is a false date....fake.

Yes.  So...let's keep the 26th Jan as a holiday and rename it Invasion Day.  That's what it is.

The invasion, if any, happened a week before. You want to celebrate an "invasion" a week late? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Do whatever you want.

Sounds like something a homophobic racist would do, though.

You're not a homophobic racist are you, Honky?

I'm anti-flag.

If you're anti flag then you must like the idea of me burning a rainbow and abo flag. You obviously like the idea of burning the Australian Flag?

Gawd.....that was lost decades ago and has SFA to do with the topic.

Forget White British Australia.  That is long gone.

Anything else 'we' lost?

We could call it Pay Day. 2nd Thursday of every month.

Everybody loves a holiday.

Perhaps you can explain how having a separate holiday for other Australians is unifying?  ;)

Isn't that divisive? A form of separateness? Now what was that Afrikaaner word for it? It starts with A.

Or is that only when whitey wants separateness?

Haven't you been paying attention - Scott Morrison is proposing the separate holiday.

So, as I said before: Scott Morrison is destroying our unity.

Not an invasion like the Jap attacks on Darwin hey cods?  Read, there are even some pictures to make it easier for you.

Link.

The number of camps set up to attack aboriginals...just in Qld alone:
