I don't 'celebrate' Australia Day because I don't like burnt meat and I don't drink alcohol, which we are indoctrinated into thinking is essential.

But, I bought a flag from my non-Woolworths, non-virtue signalling but proud Australian supermarket, and I will fly it in the front garden on January 26th.

Hi BAYGON,

There is one great stumbling block for our great patriots to have AUSTRALIA DAY on January 1st...ITS ALREADY A PUBLIC HOLIDAY, and the great patriots don't want to give up a day off for such a piss poor reason, now do they. I would agree with having a National Day on January 1st, although I'm no great nationalist, also with no additional public holiday involved, watch the great patriots scream blue murder then, no extra day off! Leave those who want to adorn themselves in cheap Chinese made rubbish, like flags in their front yards, celebrating Gubba Day on January 26th.

ttbn; by the way, In what country was your proud Australian Flag made? I bet China! Financing the Reds are we!

The Advance Front and Centre organisation, which was involved in the NO Voice campaign, advises that MP for the seat of Bowman, Henry Pike, introduced the Australia Day Bill in 2023.

The Albanese government would not debate it.

Advance rightly says that, "Australia Day belongs to the Australian people; not the activists, not the elites, and not the politicians".

"Across the nation, 69.5 per cent of Aussies support LEGAL PROTECTIONS against politicians changing the date of Australia Day".

Advance intends to raise $157,000 to force the government to listen, and get the Bill on the agenda.

Just imagine how much Chinese made Gubba Day rubbish these hard right nationalist could buy with $157,000! Stubby holders, flip-flops, funny hats, and silly flags to stick out of the back windows of their Korean, Jap or Chinese made heap!

ttbn, how's ya Chinese flag in the front yard going?

Given all the utter made up garbage polls being quoted on twitter and here but the usual small minded cretins, it is worth posting one of the more reputable polls which have been conducted in the last 5 years.

A Deakin University study in 2021 showed "Overall, 60% of our respondents want to continue celebrating “Australia Day” on January 26." but the majority of those born between 1996 and 2002 wanted to change it.

The results were largely in line with a similar Roy Morgan poll and one from Coredata.

That demographic would have grown further in the last 3 years. Change is coming as young Australians prepare to become the decision makers and leaders of this country. Their intelligence and empathy stands in stark contrast to those of the older generations who seem to have the attitude "I've got mine jack and bugger the rest."

I think we will be in good hands.
