you all do realise that theirs a damn good chance that, without the colonisation of Australia, that none of use would be here right now to discuss this point?
or possible some other country could have "invaded" Australia and literally wiped out the aborigines ?? and that no one would be able to learn thier history ? which we can do?
Im not going to deny what happened was horrible etc , but as a country i believe we are doing more and getting better , moving the date will not change the facts.
to me and many others aus day 26th jan, is about celebrating where we are today, from where we have come from , with ALL races that reside here.
holding onto past atrocities ( from 200yrs ago or more ) is not going to help anyone. nor will a date change , fix anything
