Only one more day, then the miserable minority who hate Australia Day, Australia itself, and themselves, will have to look for something else to screech about.

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

147% of Australians now support introducing a LAW making everyone love Pauline Hanson.....SAME SURVEY!

Regarding Australia Day?

There are already changes
happening. Not only in the local councils around the
states but in our national institutions.

The National
Museum in Canberra is calling it - "Community Day" in
2024 and featuring local and regional First Nation
traditional custodians, along with artists and performers
from diverse backgrounds. The meaning of the day is going
to be discussed and what it means to belong and be
Australian.

I'm sure that many will agree that this is a step in the right
direction of being inclusive. It's an exciting time with
change happening. There's enough hatred in the world.

It's so good to see that Australia Day can slowly
become a day we can all embrace.

That is as it should be because we've got over 200
countries representing a kaleidoscope of races,
religions, and ethnicities. The story of our country
and the story of its migration is a stark contrast
from its convict colonized origins.

Unlike the unwilling settlers of 1788 - modern migrants
freely choose Australia for its provision of freedom,
acceptance and unparalleled opportunities.

We stand out as a country with a very high percentage
of our population born in another country. This shows
that we do have the ability to foster and embrace
diversity.

So let us make Australia Day a day of dialogue not
division.

Hi Foxy,

Australia Day or not, We are roster'd on to work at the charity tomorrow. Would normally go to the Invasion Day protest in the city, but the wife said better to volunteer tomorrow, a bit short staffed only 5 on, regardless of the day, flags and fireworks, there are still plenty of Australians doing it tough out there.

p/s Just had a lovely lady donate $800 cash, requesting we buy 'frozen meals' for homeless folk. Okay you sure? I said, I suspect she is on a pension, but I don't know. I LOVE ANY AUSTRALIAN, BLACK OR WHITE, WITH SUCH A LOVELY HEART!

I doubt that there is a nation today that is untouched by a traumatic past. England is no exception, but do the English use their past to focus on injustices suffered or fan hatred upon the heritage groups they believe were responsible, or do they focus upon the nation they have grown into and celebrate the life and opportunity given them?

The English celebrate St George's Day as their national day on the 23rd of April. Would the museum staff consider this fitting for their national day formula given the great changes since the third century AD, or would it be preferable to change it to something more contemporary and culturally inclusive like Boy George Day for example?
