I respect your view ink, I know a few people who think a lot of these public holidays are increasingly driven by retailers.
Australia Day has been a public holiday for more than 200 years, I think its great to have a loyalty and love for the country you call home.
Sadly it’s been seen as a day of mourning for some Aboriginals and non Aboriginals for the last 90 or so years due to world population growth and advanced technology, not to mention political expedience.
We can now be in a different country tomorrow which has a dramatic effect on migration.
Anyhow, I think it’s wonderful to live in a country which provides the freedom of speech, thought and expression. I’m also mindful that new laws are being increasingly enacted. Let’s enjoy it while we have it?
My old man always told me i was lucky that i was born in the best country on earth...i know he was right.
Ive seen poverty overseas... im grateful we are here
