NO, we were a colony on Jan 26 1788. Not a nation. I also find it interesting that in the early days of celebration of Jan 26, it was only NSW that celebrated it, no other state/colony did.

No.

1 January 1901

Australia had trade, infrastructure, technology and the basic fundamentals for civilisation before 1901 Pecca. There's more to a nation than some political breakaway from a foreign power.

But that's all a part of what we have today. You can't just not recognise the building part of our nation. That's the most important part.

Who said anything about not recognising it. It just shouldnt be a national holiday IMO.

You seem to have a very infantile view of how the world works. You do realise that having ties to the British was fundamental to our survival in our early days. Think about it? It's not something to be ashamed of but to be glad of.

How long would Australia have lasted without the British military presence in Australia at a time when loads of empires were tussling for territory? How would we have prospered and built without the technological input, money and trade from the British Empire. The country wouldn't look the way it does today. I don't understand how you people can't see how important it was. It's the most important thing that has happened to Australia to date.

We're discussing Australia Day, though.

Not British Ties Day.

Australia became an independent nation on 1 January 1901.
