    Is this put on by the A.B.C. again?

      I'll be celebrating Australia Day even more than I ever have before!

    i did one of these years ago, it was so bad.

  • bennybaubles on 15/01/2025 - 01:07

    I thought we were supposed to be ashamed to celebrate being Australian on this day?

        Perhaps it could be celebrated on the day when the Aboriginal (the Original really) nations and the government sign a treaty. That would be a day everybody will celebrate

          Well we can be rest assured that won't be happening.

          Guess what, there were no Aborginal nations. There were Aboriginal tribes. That fought each other.
          But go on.

            @Spets: Negative comments have zero logical reply to that fact, so just neg. Keep it up soy boys! Just look at how Aboriginals treat each other - Alice Springs at the moment. Wild. And sad.

        Yeah also agree. Something between July and October to stagger the public holidays a little would be nice.
        But I agree on a date change I am a proud Aussie but the resistance to change the date and make peace boggles my mind

          It won't make a difference. You'll continue to whinge regardless of the date.

            +1

            @Rod71: I won't whinge at all. I'm just confused why they won't try to make peace. Seems like a very simple solution. Have the people around a table and discuss an appropriate date.

            • Rod71 on 15/01/2025 - 09:47
              +6

              @maverickjohn: Sure. So a new date is settled. Date comes around and the same grievance comes up. Why? Because it's not really about the date.

              • maverickjohn on 15/01/2025 - 09:55
                +1

                @Rod71: But what about if it does resolve the issue. It's good to speculate and not act. But if the action does resolve it, isn't a win?

                  +2

                  @maverickjohn: Guaranteed it won't, as Indigenous grievance is an industry now.

                    @Rod71: It would help resolve one issue of the many indigenous communities face. Obviously theres other issues that need addressing too but changing this one thing isn't going to suddenly make indigenous people selfishly demand more and mor ebecause you gave a little ground.

                    It would be odd if there was a date change and then you were like "we changed your date and now you want programs to lessen crime, poverty, homelessness etc., how ridiculous!".

              • Jayphen on 16/01/2025 - 14:12

                @Rod71: It's been about the date ever since 1935, when it was changed from July. A few years later there was the first protest by the Australian Aborigines' League. Before that it was not a problem

          How about the 27th of August? Sir Donald Bradman's birthday.

          • Jayphen on 15/01/2025 - 16:06

            @omblygombly: Or Nov 30 which was his debut! Both options seem better than the day a British flag was flown for the first time

      Apparently we are just look at all the neg votes I got on my first comment about Invasion Day, either that or people are just blind and missed my sarcasm tag.

        Sorry mate, some of us older generation white males aren't always up with the latest trends, lingo, acronyms, or symbols.

    Sounds terrible. I miss when Australia Day celebrations in Sydney were actually fun, and they hadn’t ramped the white guilt up to 11

      No need for "white guilt", we need a treaty, a simple step in the healing process

        All you'll get are the silent neggers.

        I didn't neg you.

        I guess you,the "silent majority", are getting pushback :-)

    • Mike Nolan on 15/01/2025 - 09:58

      Quite surprised too, usually the political sentiment of the average OzB-er mirrors that of the average redditor.

        Are you kidding? This place is crawling with extreme views on both sides. Any deal with any remotely controversial theme devolves into primates slinging poo at each other. Reddit is a left echo chamber - OzBargain has all demographics covered (usually to its detriment).

        • FujinShu on 15/01/2025 - 12:10

          Reddit is a left echo chamber

          American left. They would be considered a centrist group in literally every other country because of how far-right America is.

    Ben Lee & James Morrison should be good. Saw Dragon a couple of years ago at Harvest - what an insanely disappointing set. Sat through the whole thing to try and enjoy April Sun but by then I was sapped of any interest.

    • Snoop on 15/01/2025 - 11:39

      Maybe you're not old enough to enjoy Dragon's other work. 😉

        Maybe - but I've been going to festivals my whole life and have sat through countless sets of acts I'd never heard of and loved. This just felt like going through the motions (I was sure they said that was it for the band too - in 2023).

        • Snoop on 15/01/2025 - 18:38

          Maybe they've been reading John Farnham's book. 🤣

          P.s. Please tell me you didn't miss that 'old enough' that pun?

    Lots of videos online of Alice Springs at the moment, looks like a fun place to celebrate any event.

    The old saying offence is taken, not given, really Springs to mind.

    Lots of Anglo Australians getting around acting offended anytime someone puts an Australian flag up.

    It wasn't their ancestors….. But yet they feel the need to fight for something that wasn't an issue 20 years ago.

    I've also heard stories about the business side of first nations people in WA, doesn't sound fun

    This will be yet ANOTHER platform to preach, spread lies and BS about woke crap that people have to wake up to. NOTHING will stop the whinging about what happened. Move on, live your life and be somebody!
    If certain people put the same effort and passion that they put into the whole invasion day crap, get rid of the welcome to country crap and put those efforts into your own FREE education (which i don't get), you'd be as successful as Elon and actually earn your money for once.
    Australia day should live forever and not be changed by a minority who weren't even alive back then.

      Because nothing screams woke louder than an Australia Day celebration on Sydney Harbour in 2025…

      I'm no fan of wokies, but you're just looking for people and things to yell at.

      • teddiebear on 16/01/2025 - 00:58

        How do you figure that?

          The calls for changing the date definitely have a bandwagon effect. Here's an event trying to balance those who want to celebrate the day with acknowledging Aboriginal history and the issues many have with the date, but somehow that's not enough for you?

          Get a life, champ.

          You're inventing a scenario (it will be a platform to preach…) and then getting angry about it

            @Jayphen: Acknowledge their history…. Make a event that celebrates history of other cultures in this country and see how many Aboriginal people turn up for it. Am i angry? Seriously, no.
            Take the Sydney fire works new year celebration for example. It's a party for EVERYONE! yet it was Aboriginal this & that, over and over again. Tax payers pay for it from all colours and backgrounds. Why do we have to make ot so much about a particular people… It's a celebration for all, to bring in hopefully a better new year. Why can't people go for a good time without having being reminded about something that was out of our power? If you're gonna have these dancers up there, include the aussie olympic break break dancer lmao
