Australia Day
Sep 25^th, 2018 at 7:00pm

Brian Ross:

Quote:

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.

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

Do whatever you want.

Sounds like something a homophobic racist would do, though.

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

Or an Anglophobic anti white racist flag burner like you want to be.

I'm anti-flag.
