Australia Day 2020

[Scotland]

Plenty of indigenous families will be down at the pool having a good time bro.

Good thing BBOK will be offended on their behalf so they can just have a good time.

 

[Pistol Night]

I'd like to see Adam Goodes win Australian of the Year again just for the lols.

The award is bullshit until Neale Daniher wins it one year

 

[Pistol Night]

Given you are likely in Geelong let’s replace cones with shards and large pizza with your sisters lady flower. Then we are dealing in facts.

Getting into the Australia Day spirit by playing a few cords on the old glass didgeridoo

Not this year, ScoMo's got a lock on it.




Bur seriously, I reckon this guy gets the gong this year

AOTY is a strange award. They fluctuate between giving it to (otherwise relatively unknown) people to recognise their contribution to society and just giving it to high profile athletes and entertainment figures.

In a 4 year period it once went Pat Rafter, Fiona Stanley (Dr, epidemiology specialist), Steve Waugh, Fiona Wood (Dr, burns specialist).

"We can't find a worthy winner, lets give it to a high profile sportsperson this year"

I'm fairly sure at one point getting a go at being AOTY was part of your contract as national cricket captain.

Im waiting for the day it really turns into a farce, and a "brave" social media "influencer" wins AOTY

Someone has got to do the hard yards smoking cones in their basement posting about how wrong it is on social media.

What the * is that? Some type of undergrowth dwelling hipster toad?

Invasion day aside, until we stop celebrating the founding of a prison colony as our national day we'll still think like a police state in thrall to foreign powers that get to take our resources for a song.

I mean * invasion day anyway but that other thing is more important if we're gonna grow up as a nation.

Btw you campaigners up thread don't know any Blackfellas and have no idea how they feel about that day do you.

Nah, thought not.

I'll give a shout out from you to everybody on the water slide on Sunday.

 

[raskolnikov]

Cue lots of vision of ScuMo saying, "How good is Australia?"

 

[ferball]

I'll give everyone a shout out from you to everybody on the water slide on Sunday.

Ask them how great Australia Day is while you're at it.

Why wouldn't they be at a pool? It's a weekend in Australia in January, forecast is high 30s where I live.

Constance Hall
Australian mother of the year, nah all time

Google her

Always been a political award depending on the issue of the day. Like when the government was copping heat on climate change then it went to a climate scientist. All winners have done something noteworthy I guess but don't understand the point of having it tbh

If you're going sporting it will probably be Ash Barry but given performance I'd love to see Steve Smith get it for the meltdown it would cause.

People who say 'invasion day' are good. I like those people
It makes it so much easier to identify people I don't want to hang out with. Keep it up, I bet you're fun at parties

In all seriousness. No one condones what happened but I wasn't here so don't feel remotely guilty either. If you can't appreciate how bloody good you have it here thanks in large to that 'invasion' I don't know what to tell you.

Disagree. That definitely happens, but there's nothing political about picking Pat Rafter or Steve Waugh.

I don't know how the whole thing works but if I was giving it out this year I'd probably give it to that Celeste Barber bird who has raised $50m for the bushfire relief efforts.

 

[FRUMPY]

Australia Day, where those against it make a massive deal and then by Jan 27th they aren't heard of again until Jan 26th next year.

Rinse, repeat.

They generally lob at the next “I am offended rally”
Maybe they’ll storm a piggery, hug a tree or continue their alliance against bathing policy

 

[Scotland]

Must be a real pickle if you are a vegan who is offended by invasion day given the culinary habits of the indigenous population prior to European settlement. I guess in parallel timeline Captain Arthur Phillip dropped anchor, asked nicely if he and his friends could stay then set about educating the locals about the benefits of a plant based diet. Without the need for introduced species or agricultural practices, of course.

Like Alan Jones or Andy Bolt.

So it's one of your trigger phrases. I'll remember that for parties.

Tho you're dreaming if you think anyone else in the world gives a * whether you want to hang out with us.

You live in a foreign owned police state right now and you were here when all sorts of dodgy s**t happened you just don't want to know about.

And you still haven't mentioned where this big door you were banging on about is. I'm beginning to doubt it's a real door at all.
