Hi Paul,

There's a whole range of opinions on the subject of
Australia Day. Many are glad to have a long week-end,
and spending time with their families and friends.
Still others share in community activities. What is
nice to see is that in all Councils - our First Nations
people are being included - be it as dancers, artists,
or storytellers. Not only our local Council is making
it inclusive but so is the Melbourne Museum, and the
National Museum in Canberra.

I think that with time, the date will probably be changed.
But at least now with the inclusion - it's become friendlier.

Hi Paul,

Talking about "old age?"

I just saw a car bumper -sticker:

"I'm not old.
I'm 25.
Plus postage and handling."

Thanks for the link Foxy. My computer autocorrects for me, so there is no need to fix the link. Maple syrup is probably best with pancakes, or maybe it is because it was Sunday breakfast for me as a kid along with lemon and sugar as another serving option. I think a good maple syrup is wasted on me Foxy as I am quite happy with the synthetic stuff, although one of my work mates made a yummy ice cream using my jam, so maybe I've been missing out?

Steve Smith. Now there's a man of the of the people. Reported to be worth $46 million and ... er, mixed up in the ball tampering incident, and had a good old cry in public when he was caught. A fine example of morality to be giving advice about Australia Day or anything else. Australian cricket and cricketers are all shite, politicising and bringing into disrepute what used to be a gentlemen's game.

69.5% of Australians now support introducing a LAW preventing politicians from changing Australia Day.

The Labor SA parliament has a Bill on Public Holidays proposed to remove Christmas Day, Anzac Day, and Australia Day from Public holidays.

They are going ahead with the Voice to parliament and Treaty. They cannot read the voice of the people who voted NO. If the aboriginal population has intermarried into other races and adopted Western cultures, then a treaty means nothing. It is an attempt to control citizens. by creating division.

While communism is still a dirty word, Marxism isn’t. Many Australians barely know who Karl Marx is, let alone understand his teachings that are ripping Australia apart. The rise of Neo-Marxism didn’t happen organically, and it isn’t sudden. This is a manufactured, decades-long strategy playing out in front of our eyes. Leftist ideologies, once on the fringe, now dominate classrooms nationwide. Our children are being intentionally targeted. They are taught racial division and moral relativism are good, while Australia’s founding principles and Judeo-Christian values are bad.
