So how many in the demo?

50?

Well, we've always had a few fruit loops at the edges protesting all manner of things, one of which Mr Putin and starlinist, is not running this country.

The fact that the greens were there doesn't suprise! They belong at the fringe agitating for less border security and so on. Like an intensely autocratic tail that wags the dog. At no time do these treehuggers feel the need to persuade with reason and logic?

Herr Hitler was reportedly, a vegan treehugger, so they would be in good company! As always at this fringe are folk who've decided they know best and our views on any subject just don't matter. None of this mattered very much to our indigenous sisters and brothers, until very recently!

Historical facts cannot be altered. I like the way you stood up to those pig ignorant poms. Who it would seem, think they are so superior/don't know their own history. And needed to be reminded it was a british fleet that anchored in Botany bay.

Captain Cook was an Englishman as were most of his crew! Yes let's ask for reparation on behalf of our dispossessed indigenous sisters and brothers from the British crown and see how well that's received. If there's a case to answer it's theirs.

I can't see how anyone forcibly transported and abandoned here have a case to answer any more than any other castaway! Nor have their offspring! Around 60,000 of who, lay moldering in graves having made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Freedoms which include our indigenous sisters and brothers!

But let's move the date anyway, so anyone waving an Australian flag, even a couple of postage stamp sized ones, won't offend folk offended by the national flag, but not the Hammer and sickle? How curious?

Maoris have nothing to do with Australia Day or Australia, is the answer to your query. The same goes for the unionists, who want only more money and a workers' paradise. The Greens? They don't know what they want, but they seem to be in cahoots with the tear-the-joint-down- feminist ratbags.

And you wanted “to hear what everyone had to say”. Were not the flags, placards and thuggish behaviour enough for you to get their “sincerely held” beliefs.

As for your 'conversations'. It sounds a bit suss that little old you was singled out for harassment by the cops and a couple of Poms who should have been minding their own business,

I vote for the Chinese flag to replace the Australian flag.

Let's have some good old fashioned honesty!

yep the Maori's, some of whom boast of eating the previous inhabitants of NZ joining in with activist. A lot of Government funded jobs supplying services to the Indigeneous communities now have Maori's employed with no qualified or willing Australian Indigeneous. Of course they want to ensure the gravy train continues and expands.

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel,some one once said, so far its been proved pretty right.
1994 is when this latest load of crap was foisted on us preceding that it was just a day off for most
I started work in 1967 even at school it meant not much at all Keating started the move towards this Flag waving stupidity & the little war criminal Howard went overboard on it
I have little interest in what the foundation of NSW & Sydney which are still as corrupt as they always were,why celebrate it Just another step down the American road which ends up with Trump or Molan,I dont want anything to do with that at all
