Australia Day needn’t be an ideological battleground : Comments

By Graham Young, published 27/1/2017

Middle Class Anglo kids.

With rich Mummies and Daddies to shock.

Reckon protests shouldn't be on the streets - but then again Mummy and Daddy wouldn't see their "radical" dearests on ABC News.

Dearests who prove they're so grown up until their Mummies need to bail them out.

Geoff of Perth,

Glad that you're liking it, it rather shews Philip's administration in a different light to that favoured by his detractors.
Watkin Tench is a largely ignored first hand witness but then he didn't have the benefit of foresight (as a direct opposite of hindsight) so he missed the chance to be PC !
