Australia Day 2022

Today, Australian Day, commemorates the day in 1788 when the First Fleet sailed into Sydney Harbour (Port Jackson) to establish a British convict colony.
As the years have gone on, the actual date of celebration has become more controversial.
Most Indigenous Australians feel that it celebrates invasion and should be changed to a new date with a different name.

More and more non indigenous Australians are agreeing with them.

We haven’t taken part in any activities for decades and support the cause of the First Nations people.

But for now the status quo will be maintained. There is no political will to make a change.

As one prominent social commentator says “ God, the Australia Day “debate” is tedious. Around and around it goes, same-old-same-old every year.”
