Too bad Australia Day is painted in politically correct circles as Aboriginal Complaints Day.

If Australia Day were moved from 26th January complaints would note abate.

My personal experience has shown me that the real Aborigines who keep away from their multiple ancestry city dwelling band wagon cousins do not share the perpetual blame game & do not participate in the opportunistic exploit of that industry !

There was a federation and the formation of six states before any alive today were even born!

We recently changed the national anthem to accommodate the alleged concerns of a handful of vociferous semi-white activists? I would suggest that is more than enough to cover their alleged concerns! End of story!

Here it is our new National Anthem:

All bow to Xi! All bow to Xi!

Australia is geographically and tectonically a very old continent, billions of years old.

Australia is politically a very young country, a collection of colonies only between 1788 and 1900, and a united political entity since 1.1.1901.

In between, for perhaps sixty thousand years, it was populated by a multitude, perhaps thousands, of clans, associated in hundreds of language groups often called 'tribes', nowadays called 'nations', often at war with each other, but exchanging women for their labour and in order to reproduce the clans.

So which is it to be ?

Hold on I forgot that we are a multicultural nation so let's throw in a couple more numbers so that we have a Multinational National Anthem. So here's a few more I should have included:

I really like the Taiwanese anthem: makes me think I'm at a Verdi opera in La Fenice.
