Those things whilst there is a valid arguments for them at the end of the day will do bugger all to actually help anyone's lives anywhere. It's almost embarrassing how much airtime they get for such minor issues.
One thing for sure is we are still years away from having mature discussions on the issue.
This year it seemed if you wanted to do something that wasn't a protest then it mean't you are a white supremacist.
Either way from what I read yesterday it doesn't sound like we will get a change of date while Albanese is PM.

I should add, I was multicultural in my viewing material.

Well it's deep summer, so probably swim in a pool if Im not working.
If it wasn't for our almost 1 year old... I'd be back around your way.
What?
I got both pizza and Thai for dinner, doing my bit for racial unity.
I had the pizza, but missed the Thai... On a budget these days with the little one(baby that is, not the Thai).

lol, maybe a very far fetched idea that not even the most hopefully naive would buy into anymore.
It’s all about the day off these days and has been for quite a while.
Australia Day = the general consensus among most people celebrating it as a fair reason to get drunk and obnoxious.
I agree, and hopefully if they move the date it can be a unifying day.
The date move will happen organically sort of anyway I reckon, I suspect there’s no chance the Aus women’s cricket team will play next Jan 26, a lot of other sports will prob follow suit.
I reckon in a few years any sport backed by corporate sponsorship probably won’t be doing anything. I mean it sort of always a day where nothing happened, and I feel we’re getting back to that.
And what's next, ANZAC Day?
You never know, I feel like there is some negative sentiment out there about it, not like Aus Day, not yet anyway. I mean 10 years ago could you have imagined the debates we have now about gender and sex in mainstream media? (And chat forums for that matter)
I really don't understand Australia anymore. It's like everyone wants to just belittle or cancel any tidbit of culture it once had, good or bad. There's no identity anymore, there's no personality, but instead just anger and cancellation.

Dunno, only seen them live once but the sound was friggin amazing.
Most people get along in real life, or quite that on social media, I feel like that’s what makes things seem so extreme. And with many “journos” getting quotes off Twitter and fanning the flames it makes it worse.

Drapped in an Australian flag with AC/DC playing?
Lol I remember listening to a doco on AC/DC and Angus told a story of a gig where there was a punter right up front near the stage, erm, "really getting into" the music.
