Quote:"Australia Day is the official National Day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, it marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales, and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip."
A couple of indigenous people were on the ABC today and would rather call it Invasion Day!
Suffice to say, 5 minutes later they broke out with a sing song to promote their new album...lol!
As an Aussie, should I hang my head in shame for the unconscionable actions of our forefathers, or should we shoot the remaining aborigines for having the gall to remind us and hurt our delicate sensibilities! lol!
What do? This also applies to most countries, I s'pose...
My instincts tell me, fuck it, it happened in the bad old days, the world has moved on, so should you ...but my other insticts tell me (yell, I have a spare set), it might have been long ago, but to them, who've been here 50,000 years, this only happened yesterday! The slaughter, rape and misplacement of countless indigenous people and their culture just so Qantas can sing: I still call Australia home!
You should come back to the aul' sod, and stop stealing sheep.
