Happy Australia day to all Pies supporters. What a great country we live in, the best Multicultural and diverse system in the world where people from Europe, Nth America, Sth America, Africa, The Middle East, Asia, Polynesia, Micronesia and more all get on in harmony. If you lose your job you get Social security support, cash assistance during covid was fantastic. Thousands of Men and Women died for our freedom because they loved the country so much. Very proud day to be Australian today
Happy Australia day everyone

..and a shout-out for indigenous people who ran the country pretty well for over 60,000 years...with the current mob in charge going to trash it before we make 300.

Special date for you?

Australia has a lot to be proud of, but January 26 is Invasion Day and isn't a day for pride.
Australia Day: Don’t change the date, create the date
Instead of repeating the same arguments every year, let’s use Australia Day to do something more ambitious.

Was going to say in b4 the Invasion Day bleeding hearts, but too late I guess...

No mention of the First Australians. Are they not worthy?

I suspect you just wanted to come on in and throw a tired term like 'bleeding hearts' around.
Nicely done.

It's a scary world, it frightens me, so I take some comfort in the predictable things.

I predict this thread will get locked, then we can all go back to discussing Keane’s finger.
Very quiet in my street, it’s not the day of celebration it once was. Within 10 years it’ll be history, let’s hope sooner.

I'm sure that sounded more amusing in your head than it actually was.

Well that’s not very nice.

Here’s an idea, don’t have an Australia Day at all.
Just another thing NZ do better than us.

Waitangi Day - Wikipedia

Cancelled
one argument (of a number) in support of a change is that Jan 26th is the date the penal colony of NSW was founded - not Australia as a whole.
May 9th is more appropriate for Australia - the date our first national parliament was opened.

Not sure why my reply received such a bitchy response from you.
Can only assume that it was just as bitchy as you intended.

Just as worthy as everyone else, unfortunately a small minority want to make it political, every other nationality in Australia is grateful for having the opportunity to live in this wonderful country, no one came here to invade anyone, they came in search of a penal colony in which they one day hoped would become a nation, you have to plan invasions, I bet you have taken advantage of the great life you've had in Australia, both in times of need and prosperity, show some respect

Yes, because it marks the birth of our great nation.

Therein lies the real agenda.
It's not about the date at all. You just have an issue with the nation as a whole.
