Proud to say my Sister, who was born a Pom, was Nationalised today at the tender age of 52.
It wasn't a decision she took lightly, she certainly didnt rush into it, she's been here since '71.. ![]() Happy Australia Day people. |

well as far as im concerned some righteous left right of center crying do gooder can themselves give my share for their cause
its not my fault the people that caused this days tradition by sending my ancestors here back then , leaving me to live with that tragedy , I need compensation for that too so don't deprive me of the ability to remember on this day my unfortunate ancestry that is linked to this day

Some cities & states in the US are developing an interesting approach to a contentious european/indigenous day of significance:
https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/...nal-odd-couple Yes I concede Columbus Day differs in nature to Australia Day, a closer parallel date would be either <edit>Jan 5 (1688)</edit> from an Anglo perspective, or Feb 26 (1606) from a European perspective. The duality of a European/Indigenous day interests me though. I suppose Australia Day in parallel with Invasion/Survival Day is actually pointing us roughly in the direction the US is going. I hope this direction is towards betterment. Last edited by mcflux; 26-01-2019 at 11:27 PM. |

How would incorporating specific recognition for aborigines with Australia Day (more than what there already is) be any different to NAIDOC week? The answer to that, is the hard self loathing leftists are hell bent on undermining and watering down anything positive of Anglo/European culture past and present. |

There already is a separate NAIDOC week. May not be a public holiday, but considering its doubtful the indigenous contribute to our economy much more than they take out of it, I don't see that its fair for employers to have to fund yet another public holiday.

Smoo,
NAIDOC week and Australia Day are two very different things. Is ANZAC day simply a day to get on the beers, have a bbq, crank some tunes & wear an aussie flag as a cape? |
