When people start bagging out Aboriginals for their Invasion Day rhetoric, I just say what if the Chinese arrived here with their First Fleet.

Killed the majority of us, took our houses and land and rounded us up and taken to outback settlements and children taken off us into unpaid slavery on Church missions.

Two hundred years of this same treatment they've endured, we be just as bitter.
You make it out as if aboriginals born today face unequal access to things the rest of us have access to.

are aboriginals denied education? health care?

on the contrary there is plenty of govt hand outs and services which are given exclusively to aboriginals which are denied to anyone else.

If you’re looking for current race based discrimination you can start there

The date doesn't mean a whole lot to me.

If the First Nations people want it changed and will make them happy, just do it.

Not exactly a long tradition.

The first time ALL Australian states celebrated Australia Day on the same day was in 1994.

I do agree though that we do need an Australia Day to celebrate us.

When we finally declare a republic and stand on our own 2 feet and get rid of all associations of colonialism, THAT should be Australia Day.

Preferably May 8th (mayeight, say that quickly).

What is more Australian than that?

ok.

Just for you.

We can move Australia Day to May 8th and keep Invasion Day as a 4 day weekend around 26/01 for @ASSASSIN and so the First Nations have something to protest.

Too much?
I prefer February, that way if I want to organise a long wkend trip i know there will be no fucking families with kids because the kids will only just be back at school.

Fuck annoying kids with their families

I will see what I can do.

I will ring Scottie from Accounting and have him wave his magic wand. (His wife hates it when he does that).

I don't get why they can't do both, they can celebrate invasion day on the 26th and we can celebrate Australia Day. Everyone can just do their own thing.
