For reasons sadly I fear many of my fellow Aussies here simply have not got the empathy to understand, but I would like to point out that Australia Day itself has only been a National Public Holiday since 1994.
It's not like it has been around for 100 or so fucking years, this whole argument about Tradition and pandering to minorities (the same usual and trite argument thrown out by people who do not want the date changed) does not hold wash at all.
It's a day of sorrow and pain for our Indigenious Brothers and Sisters, their whole race, land and culture has been purged in part to events on this date.
And whilst we're at it, the sooner we change the flag and become a Republic the better..
These days England and The Poms couldn't catch a root in a brothel (metaphorically speaking) and I am extremely embarrassed that we are a part of their pissant 'Empire'
We are a multi-cultural diverse nation of many races, religions, creeds etc, the sooner we cut ties with the Monarchy and stand on our own two feet as a country, the better.
