PNG has Black Maserati day to keep hospital finances out of the red.

it harms no one other than those who pay too much or spend too much
Belly,
Ever heard of the flow-on effect ?

Go to Google Images & type in Aboriginal doctors & count how many are truly indigenous.
I don't mean those who claim to be indigenous only those who are.

And now look for those who are part indigenous.

And look for those on Friday.

There is one more reason Aussies should remember Black Friday.
We should never forget Black Friday, or those Aussies who lost their lives.

The Black Friday bushfires of 13 January 1939, in Victoria, Australia, were among the worst natural bushfires (wildfires) in the world. Almost 20,000 km² (4,942,000 acres, 2,000,000 ha) of land was burned, 71 people died, several towns were entirely obliterated and the Royal Commission that resulted from it led to major changes in forest management. Over 1,300 homes and 69 sawmills were burned, and 3,700 buildings were destroyed. It was calculated that three-quarters of the State of Victoria was directly or indirectly affected by the disaster. The Royal Commission noted that "it appeared the whole State was alight on Friday, 13 January 1939"

It's curious how none of you Aussies clued onto this one.
They've turned a day of national tragedy into a shopping holiday.
Silly semantics, changing and adopting words.

If none of us know or remember this tragic part of Australian history;
- If it's not in our collective memory then it's no longer part of our history, right?

Our culture is PC now, just like all Western nations;
And as a part of that culture 'Black Friday' is a day for spending and for corporations to count their riches.

As a side note:
Try doing a Google search for 'Black Friday'.
They state it is on 'Friday, 23 November 2018'
They also state that "The earliest evidence of the phrase Black Friday applied to the day after Thanksgiving in a shopping context suggests that the term originated in Philadelphia, where it was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic that would occur on the day after Thanksgiving."

Did our naming of Black Friday come first and is Google incorrect?
Does the name belong to us and our national tragedy and should it not be used as a shopping holiday?
Finally what happens if Google commandeers our holidays?
- Could they not hypothetically also turn 'ANZAC Day' into a US retail sales holiday as well?
