Australia Day
Sep 25th, 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.

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

Do whatever you want.

Sounds like something a homophobic racist would do, though.

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

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?

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

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?
