Fury as councils ban 'politically incorrect' Australia Day celebrations because they are 'offensive to Aboriginals' - as it's revealed Greens MPs will attend 'Invasion Day' rallies

Councils across the country are axing Australia Day celebrations, to the fury of some residents, while some Greens MPs will attend 'Invasion Day' rallies instead.

Byron Bay in New South Wales, Fremantle in Western Australia and Victoria's Darebin, Yarra and Moreland councils are among the first to cancel official events on January 26.

The changes have been made out of respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who see Australia Day as a time of mourning.

The national public holiday recognises the date in 1788 when the First Fleet arrived and British sovereignty was declared on the land that would become Australia.

It was revealed by The Australian that Greens MPs will attend 'Invasion Day' rallies around the country on January 26.

The move is part of a bid to pose political pressure toward Bill Shorten and the Labor Party to change their sway of support for Australia Day.

Greens' Indigenous affairs spokeswoman, Rachel Siewert told the publication that Mr Shorten's opposition to support changing the date was out of step with the majority of Australians.

'He says 'yeah we know a lot of Aboriginal people aren't happy with it', but he still thinks we should be celebrating on that day. He is trying to have it both ways,' she said.

And you people carry on about ME being all things bad.
Who are these so called 'majority of Australians', who want to can Australia day?
These stupid people and their stupid demands are just that, plain stupid.
I must be missing something.
'Invasion Day', really?
Look no-one wants to acknowledge the 'elephant in the room', so I'll say it.
The abo's and their 'handlers' are gaining from this push on how the abo's are being so hard done by.
Every time they push an inch too far, I push back to their starting point and add two, with a net gain of pushing them back into reality and fend off any attempt at 'getting away' with more BS and in so doing I accomplish the appropriate result, and that is to see common sense, truth and reason prevail.
If they continue with their BS claims they will end up back where they started from, and love so much, THE BUSH!
The end justifies the means.

p1405: p/s I was going to vote for Anning, but now I find out he associates with criminal Neo-Nazi's I'll vote for someone else, maybe the Greens.

Let's see now. If you got on a bus this morning & the two nasty Nazi gentleman were on the same bus, by your reckoning, you must support their ideals. Is that true? I'm told that Fraser Anning was in a different part of the Rally.

I support Fraser Anning's ideals but not the nasty Nazi ideals. Unlike the other side. They are quite happy to support violence to achieve their aims. Greens, Getup, Marxists, Socialists, Commo's & Anarchists are all well known for their violent activities. Almost as many people murdered in the last 100 years as the moslems have killed in 1400 years. 750 million I believe.

No majority exists
TWO councils have gone troppo
We have smoking ceremony on AUSTRALIA DAY
Separatism is not on
The handful who want change are wrong
The few first Australians looking for a project should look at true equality not separatism
This much malingered lefty will never except another day
*Now for the lesson in politics,* *majority rules* always* votes are lost by things like this*
This is nothing but trouble looking for a place to bring about big over reaction from the right of reality crowd

Hmmm a smoking ceremony ? Just what were they smoking ?
But to be serious, any such change must have a sunset clause.
In some hundreds years there will be no aboriginals.
Already many aboriginals have got to put a sign up to say I am aboriginal.
In 1000 years the only aboriginals will be holograms.
Anyway, in this age of flexible identification I can say I am a
21 year old blonde female and that you harassed me sexually.
And don't you deny me that or I will have you up before the HRC.
Everything is becoming absurd.

Given the rantings and raving of some on here, we should be celebrating April 20th 'The Fuhrer Birthday' as a public holiday. Its a special one this year lads, the Fuhrer would have been 130 if he hadn't put a gun to his head in 1945.

I can understand why some see 26th January as 'Invasion Day', after all it was the day a bunch of uninvited Poms arrive with ship loads of dregs, and decided to stay. What we need to do is ditch this silly old colonial anachronism and come together and recognise all Australians, the first Australians, yes! that minority which have some small connection with colonialism, you guys one would think, as well as the multitude of new Australians with multicultural links to the broader World. A true day of National Unity, peacefully celebrated with song and dance, plenty of food and drink, speeches from some. A day where all are included and recognised as being the true Australians. At the first 'Unity Day', a public holiday of course, we could give overdue recognition to our Indigenous brothers and sisters, recognise the contribution made by those that have come recently (since 1788) that includes you guys, and enjoy a day of multicultural unity. I particularly want a Greek lamb on a spit, washed down with a generous amount of my favourite ale. Sorry lads its not going to be 20th April, no matter how much you beg!

To show I'm willing to compromise, I'll give you guys the 20th, but not April, say February
