Only thing I'm looking forward to dying is my generation and the one before passing on so we can fix this country.
Did you see all the "influencers" who attended rallies but then went to Australia day parties. Muppets
Personally I think that's nit picking.
As mentioned im pro change the date but this wouldn't stop me from catching up with friends and family on the day. If anything it provides a great platform to express my view the date should be change, in comparison I could sit at home, speak to no one and the world moves on and I've had zero impact.
My idea of Australia Day is celebrating Australias current culture and not reflecting on the history.
Would you go to a protest about something then directly after go to a celebration of what you're protesting about.
Catching up with mates on a public holiday is a bit different to that.
I was going to use the day for a motorbike ride but unfortunately woke up with a crook neck so couldn't go.
Would catching up with mates having a bbq and beers on Australia Day not constitute attending Australia Day party. If so I would happily do this despite agreeing the date should be moved.
