Personally I like the seekers song I am Australia as it includes all cultures but that aside every year Australia day brings out the activists and lambs who don't really know what Australia day is. Cook landed here three days before the 26th. What Australia day is the day on which Australians became Australians and not British Jan 26 194(7) I think. It only after this that Australian passports were issued. having said that the Aboriginals need their own day. The other thing that happens on the 26th is the desire to have the Australian flag recognised. Where I grew up red was the color of death. You painted things red and wore red paint when someone died. To me the Aboriginal flag is not something I worship-death. So the Aboriginals want to have another national anthem. Who will design and choose this? A group of activists who represent onlly a small proportion of the many communities that once were predominant here.
