Spot on.

Which is why we should never ever change the date, that would be taken as "acknowledgement of invasion" and next they would want the holiday removed from the calendar year 

If it's the last Friday of January the bogans get a long weekend every year to smash down some buddy rums.

Problem solved. 

Ahh the right wing exceedingly narrow worldview mentality - its all about the economy.
Funny that the economy is at the expense of the environment, but ironically the deadweight loss to the economy is in the trillions from environmental destruction, particularly anthropogenic global warming.
Of course for people who believe in sky fairies, anthropogenic global warming doesn't exist.

But it doesn't stop does it? Perpetual revolution - Lenin would be proud of the way the Red cause has doubled down on social deconstruction after they had their asses handed to them in the economic sphere. Not sure what Ben Chifley would think though.

Another one coming out with the 'regressive left' - so we have regressive progressives.
Of course, cause the word 'conservative' implies progressiveness. LOL.
As for Easter & Xmas, shock horror, we can't have those days changed! Or maybe we can, if we could substitute them with another bunch of fairytales so the right can keep living in their alternate reality fantasy land, to help them sleep at night.

If the date changes then the regressive left will just find another bunch of useful idiots to play the victim and continue their efforts to tear down everything about the society around them. It's what the regressive left do - perpetual revolution comrades.

Is it any surprise that some of the people behind the changethedate hashtag are members of Australian academia? The most reactionary, SJW, self-absorbed and dare I say it - Marxist, subculture in Australian society.

Next it will be the flag, Anzac Day, gender, Easter & Christmas as public holidays.

Theres only 2 seasons in Australia 

Summer

And not really summer

Not hot enough for beach or water sports, just cause they can say Mate doesn't make it a good alternative date  

Bogans would scream and smash something over the thought of not having an extra day off

Even if it gets placed somewhere else

I like the idea of a moveable date i.e the last Friday in January.

Literally no one cares what day it is unless they are offended by it in which case it makes total sense to just move it and be done with this ridiculous issue.

I empathise with the indigenous people but I do not accept the whole "you're racist for celebrating" nonsense.

didnt we have a long weekend, or a long month only a few weeks ago?

Think Mcfly, think!

Jan 27th ole

It just seems like such a no brainer to change the date. It has zero impact on non-indigenous Australians to change it, but it would allow indigenous people to celebrate it as well. I'd be genuinely interested to see any argument against changing it that isn't a variation of 'if you don't like it then fuck off'.

Open up a vote, give a few options of summer dates around the same time to celebrate it and let us decide when we want to celebrate. From what I've seen people aren't even worried about a particular date, and just want a long weekend sometime in summer.

I rate most of the Greens ministers, especially Di Natale, Bandt and Ludlum, but Shoebridge is a total wanker.

Rise in SJW culture and virtual signalling and their respective popularity on social media.

Dont worry, we're surviving invasion as we speak

By chinese and indians 

Wouldn't have noticed it being on here......

Meanwhile, in Perth, the Skyworks were cancelled (this is unthinkable to Perthians) due to a fatal plane crash into the Swan river in front of people preparing to watch the fireworks.

It came in to prominence after the apology.  They had nothing to winge about afterwards so they had to find something new.  Classic example of give an inch, take a mile

Why is it only in the last few years these people have started protesting in their thousands and burning flags?

I don't ever remember seeing such widespread protesting against a day before about 5 years ago.

We should change the day so leftard organ thieves like murdochs rags have to find something more important to complain about.

The reality is the aboriginal people will transfer their grievance to another issue, the protesting and government demonization will never end. All we white devils can feel is empathy for their suffering and the misconduct carried out against them. Most of us were not alive to stop/alter some of the darkest parts of our history. However we're all guilty by association.

“We don’t see anywhere near the number of people protesting… child abuse, violence, unclean, unsafe communities. So that’s why I question their sincerity.”

Indigenous researcher Dr Anthony Dillon says there are bigger issues than changing the date of Australia Day.

Disingenuous people with ulterior motives protesting on behalf of other people who are more than capable of speaking for themselves. 

I wonder if Australia day is Socialist Alternatives biggest day for magazine sales. 

It's fine where it is. If anything it should be moved to Jan 1, but that's a holiday anyway.

May 8 is shit, May 1 is labour day in Qld.

I like may8. Getting cold then though

Would be ecstatic if they changed it to the date to the Eureka stockade. A great day in our nations history.

I only know this because I've recently been reading a history of the Australian gold rushes.  There's a chapter on the Eureka stockade and the events that lead up to it.

Nice find, I thought they would've already had representation, I'll have a read...

"The rebellion was the culmination of a period of civil disobedience in the Ballarat region during the Victorian gold rush with miners objecting to the expense of a miner's licence, taxation via the licence without representation and the actions of the government, the police and military.[3][4] The local rebellion grew from a Ballarat Reform League movement and culminated in the erection by the rebels of a crude battlement and a swift and deadly siege by colonial forces."

I wasn't saying it's an exact parallel but there were similarities.
