Federation Day January 1st 1901, was the formation of the union of States, it had little to do with the Australia citizen Act of 26January 1949, when everyone born in Australia became Australian and not British Subjects including all aboriginals, all were united as One Nation and Citizens of Australia. January 26 is the memorial of millions becoming citizens.

Woolworths pride is hurting as they spent $1.550,000 on the Voice and it did not pay off their investment. So, they seek to injure the 62% NO supporters by denying them product.

History that is written in the present, where values have changed, about the past, flavors the accounts of the past. In 1997 I had a Papuan Student stay with me while studying, he has several University degrees, but as a boy it was his role to sleep with the pigs and keep an eye on them. That aboriginals in 1938 were given temporary housing in a prison, today is emotive and not representatives of the times.

One of my sons got married on January 26th - so we're having
a family lunch. I'll be making a lamb roast with all the
trimmings and a pav. for dessert.

Homemade strawberry jam sounds yum. Although my preference is
raspberry jam with pancakes.

I've got a great recipe for American pancakes. And another one
for Semolina pudding for a finicky breakfaster.

These days, the Left will take up ANY cause to demonstrate their anti-Western credentials.

What on earth does that even mean?

Some have forgotten in their concern with Left and Right
that there is an Above and Below.

Good for you, Foxy. Marmalade I find more satisfying to make, but I cannot pass up making strawberry jam when they are selling cheaply. Much tastier than Aussie flag thongs and eminently more environmentally responsible as well.
