Australia: Invasion Day 26.1?

Post by Cyril Haearn »

26.1 is a holiday down there, denoting the 'discovery' of Australia

Lots of people protested, calling for the holiday to be abolished, do they want to work instead? :?

Never been there but I know a bit about the history of Australia, there was a good series about it on r4 in 1988. Are white Australians aware of the history of their country, do they care?

I dreamed up a new version of 'Advance Australia Fair':
Australians let us all rejoice
For we are young and free
We came, we took the blackpersons land
And threw them in the sea
..
Entertainer, juvenile, curmudgeon, PoB, 30120
Cycling-of course, but it is far better on a Gillott
We love safety cameras, we hate bullies
