I was thinking the same thing yesterday but our experience is irrelevant to people in their 20s and 30s who have embraced the day. Whinging about how things used to be different is a pointless argument.

Wasn't really the point. That was changing to a date which isn't so divisive.

Sorry Rohan totally disagree. My parents taught me about Australia Day being important as early as 1970 as a 10 year old. No mention of racism,discrimination or division. Be proud to be Australian the message I remember. 74 years since its inception.

Has only been a holiday throughout the country since 1994 mate, 26 years ago. The date has changed several times in the last 100-odd years. And the fact there was no mention of opposition in 1970 is irrelevant. Perhaps Indigenous people are more confident to speak out now.

Can we grow a set already and become our own nation. It's like we are in our 20s not wanting to move out of mum and dad's home. Time to grow up. We are celebrating what is a British date. Time to become a republic. New flag. New date. Constitutional recognition for first ppl.

Couldn't agree more. Saddest part is we were much closer to that in 1995 than we are now.

Couldn't agree more, Roco. (PS. Surprising lack of "Stick to footy" comments on this post. I feel a direct correlation between the "Stick to footy" repliers and the "It's been more than 200 years, time to get over it" Mob.)

Either the vibe is changing, or I've finally weeded all of them out.

Hardly. You were not in Perth for Aus Day in 1990 clearly

Ahh, of course, Perth 1990. My mistake, cheers.
