Australia Day

[farmerge]

Pure symbolism as it was around the date the First Fleet landed in Sydney Cove after deciding Botany Bay was crap. That was the 'invasion'.

Vandalising Cook statues because he 'invaded' is nuts.

Anyone not happy with the English colonising this wide brown land should hand in their mobile phones.

And perhaps move to another country where they just might not get what is on offer here in the way of super generous handouts.

Megan Davis getting an AC is an interesting one.

She was one of the key reasons the Voice failed. A disastrous performance. Seems like she's someone who fails up.

And, she seems very happy to receive an AC which is quite ironic.

The date has no relevance to "Australia" no flag nothing that all started over a hundred years later TBH it makes us all look stupid.

All this dumb crap that goes on just pushes everyone further right. Won't be long till it all blows up.

Happy Australia Day to all. Weather is beautiful on this side of the world.

Our festivities so far, a morning swim and jump off the jetty. Brunch with the family, and a beer. Now we’re off to another beach for some fun.

The day we become a republic will be the day. It's gunna take a lot of will but a referendum on a republic, a new flag and a new 'Australia Day' all at once might work. But, a huge leap. Maybe one at a time over a few years.

Is it just a small minority who are causing all the trouble with this day?

Batman could have done better, but defacing an ANZAC memorial is nuts.

Not sure what that criminal has to do with this conversation. Unless it's leading the protests at the moment?

There's a dedicated entrenched group in Melbourne that cause these problems. This one in particular was calling for the defacement of Anzac/colonial statues last year among other things. The police and authorities already know all the groups down there already and it wouldn't take much to shake the tree.

They are fine with this type of radicalisation and it's getting out of control in Melbourne. This is basically the lefts version of accelerationists.

She'd definitely be on an ASIO and AFP watch list. They might be just waiting for her to cross a threshold or be using her as a honey trap.

Yes Cobblers Tavern down your way, bogan central, I was at the Boatie last night a bit more up market .
Ray the local aboriginal education elder ( he gives cultural talks at the local schools) asked me what I thought about Australia Day and changing it, I said you guys seem to be the ones with issue what do reckon, he said leave it where it is, who cares, its a holiday. We had a good laugh about it and a couple of beers.

All my aboriginal mates are getting pissed and waving the flag harder than any of the whiteys. One of them puts a massive BBQ on jumping castle for the kids. His old man is an elder also on the local land council and regularly rips it up them.

There wasn't a huge amount of flags out. Probably 1 in 100 cars. Houses there were a couple of flags. Good to see some people making an effort.

She probably ran their DEI classes with her company "hue". I'm sure she had government contracts.

On the news tonight, the usual anti Australia Day Parade of "We was Robbed" and then there is the extremists Neo Nazi Party brain dead's getting in on the act.
So glad to see that a number of these cretons have been arrested.
Pity they can't be locked up with a few of the well tattooed types who generally travel around on Harleys or the like who could show them very decisively the error of their ways in an extremely short period of time.

Great to see our flag high and proud, and only one the flag.
Just goes to show others see this flag represents Australia as a whole.

I've never gone out of my way to celebrate Australia Day, but I have attended a few celebrations over the years and organised one for my family at home in front of the pool many years ago. I have always thought that Federation Day would be a better day to celebrate. However, I strongly believe that the majority should not be bullied by a vocal minority.

And I feel the vibe of change happening.

Even if we became a republic, created Sorry Day, changed the date of Australia Day, voted yes to an Indigenous voice, and renamed every town and river with Aboriginal names, it still wouldn’t satisfy the insatiable demands of woke ideologues.​

Like dealing with an abusive partner, the only solution is to refuse to be denigrated.​

​

There are malevolent actors out there who would like to see the West and its values destroyed. We know that you can’t placate them or politely request respect. The only option is to stop playing their game.​

​

It’s the same for those who want us to feel ashamed for celebrating the national day on January 26: stop trying to placate them by removing Australia Day products from shelves or changing the date.​

I noticed a change this 26th of January. My family and I drove to my mum's coastal retreat for the long weekend, and it felt like it once did several years ago.

People were proudly flying the Aussie flag from their homes and their cars. The country town we stayed in was full of people celebrating, flying the flag, playing cricket, and having BBQ's. At night there was a fireworks show.

Last year there was a lot less celebrations, and a lot more protests. hardly anyone showed the flag, and very few talked about Australia Day in a positive way.

My Facebook feed was full of Australia Day photos, celebrations and positive stories. The only negativity I saw was on the news in a few capital cities, where the brainwash and guilt-ridden extremists tried their hardest to taint the day, but they were small this year.

Australia Day is the celebration of a nation that offers everyone, regardless of race or religion, the chance to live a free and successful life.

Next year we will be louder and prouder.

Just wish they would change Jan 26 to what if is and that's British settlement day celebrate it for what the day is and chose a day all Australians including the 1st mob here can enjoy.

This is so we can at least grow up and be adults and stop the falsehood that the 26th represents anything else.

Unfortunately wont happen example is Charles II (Big Ears) is still our leader.

Change the date. Next year, change it again. The year after that, change it again.

Who's promoting falsehoods?

January 26 is our national day. Deal with it. Or emigrate.

I don't really care what day we celebrate Australia on but it does matter to some.

As for Jan 26 why some want to die in a ditch for it shows a complete lack of knowledge on Australia's history it has no relevance other than the English establishing a penal colony on New Holland after being booted out on the US.

Australia came about over 100 years later.

I wont be emigrating any where ( 5th gen WA grand kids will be 7th gen ) but if the groveling conservative monarchists that want to support the Jan 26 then its actually real Australians that will object, you deal with it along with the other blow ins.
