Governor Arthur Phillip, first Governor of Australia, raised the flag at Sydney Cove on 26th January 1788.

Captain Cook had claimed Australia for Britain by raising a flag at Botany Bay 29th 1770.

The fleet did sail into Botany Bay on 18th January 1788, but assessed that the Bay was unsuitable, and moved to Sydney Cove on 26th January.

Hence, the 26th of January is when Australia Day is celebrated - correctly. And, that date should remain for obvious reasons: the First Fleet settled Australia, and there is no denying it. Australia Day is a legitimate event connected to British settlement, and aborigines and white self-haters don't have to have anything to do with it if they don’t wish to.

So SR is congratulating Woolworths who are ripping their customers off for billions, because they believe they do not need Australia Day merchandise. "We will set the agenda of what customers will have". The Greens and Teals have got on the shame agenda that the Merchandise "It is just disposable rubbish" - that is what they think of the Flag and those that wish to celebrate its freedoms, by displaying it.

Woolworths stocked up for an American Halloween celebration big time but will not stock for Australia Day celebration, says a lot about their view of Australia. They lost big on their investment on the Voice, so we will make you suffer.

Hi ttbn,

"These anti-Australia Day, anti-everything Australian troglodytes who only stand briefly at the entrances of their caves to trash Australia and try to divide it, are probably unaware that the main shareholders of 'Australian' Woolworths are globalist monsters Blackrock and Vanguard."

Blackrock is a Jewish controlled company.
And here I was thinking you were a complete write-off.
- Thanks for the info

These people are aligned with US Democrats, so if Blackrock is on the board, with all it's pro-climate agenda, stakeholder capitalism etc
Then cancelling our country shouldn't be surprising.

Hi AC,

I wouldn't take you to be the kind to wave cheap Chinese made Aussie flags around and wearing funny flip-flops as your patriotic duty, I'd leave that to the Forums silly old buggers. What is of far greater concern to me, and I'd say to you as well, is foreign investment and foreign ownership in Australia. Post war Australia was far too obliging in "welcoming" foreign investors with open arms, it started with the Menzies government and then subsequent carried on the "no strings attached policy", with the exception of the Whitlam government, but Gough was only so so on the matter. A bit late now as we have become too dependent on foreign investment and its too entrenched to do much about it. The US and Britain are still the biggest investors in Australia with close to 50% of the total between them. China 2% which we seem to be fixated on is a relatively small investor, whilst the boardrooms of New York have too much say, eg Alcoa decision to close the Kwinana alumina refinery. Yep, its a loss maker, after years of ripping profits and failing to reinvest they want to pull out.

Lamb on 'Special' at "Woolies" for Gubba Day, lamb legs $8/kg! Now that's practical patriotism for you! Even the regulars here living off free taxpayer Aged Welfare can afford 8 bucks, about the price they pay for a Schooner down at gods waiting room on pension day, or 5 minutes on the pokies! !
