My Activites involve waking up at 2am. Stealing a car, driving 5 hours to Melbourne. Rob a 7-11, get on the hard solo's and protest for both sides. Get arrested and livestream the police beating me to tiktok. Or just sleep in. It does feel strange that only 10 years ago 95% of us were throwing parties and dressing up for the big day. No care or shame in the world. (idk actual % obv) now I would probably feel a sense of shame and embarrassment if I were to celebrate. I'd just prefer they change the date so we can all move on instead of hearing everyone get all up in arms on both sides. There's always going to be first nations people making waves and protesting about the past regardless of the date, same as white people.
EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON!
Flags made in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, Peoples' Republic of China
Happy Australia Day!
Celebrate it any way you wish, go to the beach, the movies, have bbq's, play cricket, play rugby, play soccer, play FOOTY!
Who cares where they are made as long as they are made for us to parade around with ?

If you burn the flag today you may as well announce yourself as a Trump supporter and move to America!
We are in the greatest country of the entire world, today is a day to reflect on what it means to be Australian.

Hope anyone who celebrates this day has a bloody miserable one ..
Selfish, heartless, pro Prince Andrew/Royal Family rock sider enablers.
We will keep fighting the good fight until the date is changed..

Excuse me ?
I am.not 'dissing' Australia, but the English and the genocidal mass murdering Imperial colonists led by Captain Crook
Of course Australia is the best country in the world, no question about it, however our past and current mistreatment and oppression of our Indigenous Brothers and Sisters is shameful, leaves a lot to be desired, and I will continue to fight tooth and nail to change the date.
Germany doesn't celebrate Adolf Hitler, the fact we pretty continue to do so with our own version in Captain Cook, esp on this date, makes me sick to the stomach.

That was the most awful song I have ever heard and I think we should change the date! I have to listen to Neutron Star Collision on repeat to wash that horrible little song out of my head.

See, I actually agree with changing the date, especially as it doesn't even have that much lengthy history as a holiday.
But I still will enjoy today. Rightly or wrongly, today is Australia Day and I'd rather enjoy it then be sad. I know of some Indigenous folk that, surprisingly, do still choose to celebrate today, which I find kind of inspirational.
Given how many people/places are now scared (or just choose not) to even say Australia Day from what I've seen, I'd be very surprised if it stayed on this date after this year though.

How's the rally fellas? Few down there by the looks! Im assuming the bay 13 protestors on both sides are carrying flares and pepper spray.

I was invited to a couple of decent parties by work colleagues and mates but politely declined (told them I had other plans)
I cannot in good conscious celebrate/party on a day that's still a constant date and reminder of deep hurt and anguish for so many Indigenous Australians.
I am not protesting this year/today, just at home having a few beers and watching the NBA.
I do get sick to **** of * wits (esp on facebook) saying the past is the past and Aboriginal people should move on and forget about what happened..
It's a heartless and selfish attitude to take.
No one is asking for Australia Day to be cancelled or stop waving flags, just change it to a date that ALL AUSTRALIANS can enjoy with no historical trauma associated with it.

people are expecting this
but the actual protesting is akin to this
Shows how much you know
You are a Klansthorn fan though, so of course it's natural for you to be against anything pro Aboriginal rights.
Yeah, I like the message and all but they really needed to up the tempo and include a catchy riff to make it memorable.. Something like this!
I've been saying all along you don't need ONE day/date to specifically celebrate being dinky-di true blue Australian. You should be living the Australian life 24/7 365 days of the year
That was the point of my post - you show up in large numbers, stamp your feet, hold out signs, wave flags.... whatever the case may be. But I don't see Albo coming out saying "righteo old chaps, we are going to make Australia Day January 31st from now on"

I have been acting like a drunken yobbo in public on Christmas Day for years now, but apparently that is 'Un-Australian' behaviour according to some prudes lol

This used to be a day where I could get drunk and be in the pool all day whilst hanging s**t on the youf of the country for their s**t taste in music. Now I have to wait a whole extra day to do this.
