Australia Day: when should we celebrate? : Comments

By Russell Grenning, published 19/1/2018

Various suggestions have been made for a new date from some significant event in the World War 11 Pacific campaign or the date (27 May) of the overwhelmingly successful 1967 referendum.

Opiniated 2 LMAO. Think you are so smart and everyone else so dumb? LMAO. All your virtual signalling and bile, LMAO.
It is very irritating when idiots like you keep using these stupid and juvenile acronyms. How much arse have you got now as you have been laughing it off for about a week now.
OK just so you know the vast majority of us Australians are happy with Australia day. You and your little mates (If you have any) are still perfectly free to frolic and whine about us celebrating our National day.
Forget giving your fellow Australians orders matey we are not listening also please do not try it face to face or you will be landing on your "A" not laughing it off.
You have had a big day now off to bed with you!

"A statue of Captain Cook in St Kilda has been vandalised, in what is believed to be a protest against Australia Day being celebrated on January 26."

COMMENT

It was likely the odd balaclava lefties of Melbourne who done the dirty (agin).

Hi Plantagenet,

That's the Captain Cook who was killed nine years or so before the First Fleet landed ? I wasn't aware that he had invaded St Kilda. Up on the Daly River in the NT, yes, and he and his troops was driven off by Ned Kelly in his defence of the local people.

It's important that we know our history properly.

Cheers,

Joe

No, he's the one who was first to discover Australia except for all the people who beat him to it. That's why he gets a statue and the people who discovered it after him don't. They're probably just jealous.

Given the Anarcho-Lefties of Melbourne say "F--- Australia, hope it burns to the ground". Should Australia Day it be shifted to the 1st January alternative?:

That is January 1 - "Hangover Day" for too many already.
