hahahaha - actually Australia Day was initially held on July 30 (or nearest subject to government OK), the first Australia Day was directly shaped by the experience of the Gallipoli landing. It continued to be held in July for the remainder of the war. By 1935, the states all agreed to use the name Australia Day and celebrate it on January 26.

And if the wokies get their way, your grandkids will be saying that about the 20's and 30's.

The ironic thing is, most can’t even define the term, nor do they even realise that it’s a term that was coined by African Americans in reference to racial prejudice. Lead Belly used the phrase back in the 30’s. Lead Belly btw, wrote the song Where Did You Sleep Last Night. A song covered by Nirvana on Unplugged and is regarded as one of the greatest live performances of all time.

Getting boring seeing you constantly whinge about it.
That word is here to stay.

Gets boring having to read people use words they can’t even define.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Actually, they can define it. You usually will get 10 or 20 different definitions though.

 

[Tucker]

It has an obvious definition that has been hijacked and now bastardised.
Started off as being simply alert to racial injustice and prejudices. Then was expanded to include other groups by activists from the LGBTQ community and radical feminists. Now it’s been twisted to the point that it’s become an ideaology that can’t be met.

Middle of winter? That’s a terrible time to have Oz Day. No wonder it was changed.

They were being held much earlier than that. E.g. it was at a feast to celebrate January 26 that Governor Bligh got taken hostage back in 1808.

Sadly, it will be the day our puppeteers from WHO/WEF/UN decide for us!
