        This list is trash just like your understanding of the issues and the place of indigenous people in this country

        FFS, not you too Johnathon? You've had all the opportunity this great country offers. Stop living in the past.

        You don’t know shit about JT’s life nor do your understand what changing the date is about. It’s not about opportunity or living in the past.

        How dare he! Only Tony Abbott & Andrew Bolt are allowed to speak for all indigenous Australians.

        Agree. I love Australia and love celebrating everything on Aussie day but I am not wedded to a date that is both historically wrong (it only signifies start of NSW colonly...Australia came 112 years later) and hurtfull. Lets find another date!

        Thurston would still be throwing boomerangs at kangaroos without the First Fleet, instead of being a national sports star, let that sink in

        What’s all this ‘civilisation’ done for you? Your appear to still be dragging your knuckles and drooling in your cave.

        He may be right and this might be a golden opportunity to fix things up a bit. P.S. the Aborigines would still have to go to work like the rest of us you know.

        The fact that he can play football does not make his opinion any more valid that anyone else.
