Fewer than 20% of Australians want the date changed. There's nothing like being in the majority is there?

A 40 year old man has been charged with vandalising the Woolworths store at Teneriffe. Is his name Pete? Judging by the rubbish on sale, rename 26th January BOGAN DAY in honour of all you Bogans who want to buy stupid rubbish to adorn yourselves with on GUBBA DAY! Seems only fair.

Australia today is a completely different nation from
the times when its people all held British passports and
sang "God Save the Queen", and in those days the majority
of the population were very much of British or Irish descent.

Those who want to celebrate the establishment of the
British penal colony - and what they saw as the "good old days,"
of this nation - it's entirely up top them. But they can't
object surely if not everybody wants to join in. Or if any
given supermarket decides not to sell products made in China
to mark the occassion because there's not a demand for them.

There should be a bit of give and take on this matter.
Each to their own. Live and let live - as a wise man once

Dear Paul1405,

Even more concerning is the enraged numbnuffs out there abusing Woolies workers. 80% increase in abuse incidents since Dutton opened his big mouth and petty little hive minds like we have here taking up the cudgels.

Dutton needs to apologise to Woolworths staff and the rest of the RWNJs need to grow up and stop being his pawns.

The person I work with who is the most enthusiastic about the flag and Australia Day decorations was born in the Philippines, but I guess that would not fit with the hate narrative.

Fester,

You friend would be one of many immigrants who feel that way. We should remember that it is local ratbags who hate the date, or the idea of even having Australia Day. People are busting to come here, and they want to become Australians, despite the negative, demented ravings of a minority of loud-mouthed, Australians yobbos.

At the moment, I'm wondering what immigrants think of being done out of their chance to make their oath of allegiance to the country on Australia Day by wackjob local councillors. The link between citizenship ceremonies and Australia has always been significant and meaningful.
