Good piece here on the contested date of Jan 26 as "Australia Day"
Know your history, and note, that Aboriginal Australians have been protesting since 1938! https://theconversation.com/australia-day-invasion-day-survival-day-a-long-history-of-celebration-and-contestation-70278

"The NSW governor, Henry Parkes, recognised that the day was a reminder to the Aborigines of how the British had “robbed” them."
Henry Parkes, ie: the "Father of Federation"

Aboriginal Day of Mourning 1938

Just change the bloody date!

Rip off the band-aid and lets get on with the healing.

For both their kids and mine who yearn for an honest foundation story...it's time for a reckoning.
First step...
