I'm gonna put it out here. I'm gonna have some drinks tonight and play some Aussie music. I'm proud to be an Australian and I love this country and I'm not gonna be made to feel guilty for appreciating this beautiful land, people, flora and fauna.

The atrocities that were done to our first nation's people are unforgettable there is no denying that. I hope for a solution to Australia Day asap because it's gone on far to long.

Feel free to downvote me because I don't give a shit.

@CEOofmyhouse56
Two things can be true at the same time right.
I'll help out whenever and wherever I can to get the sick date that commemorates the start of a genocide shifted to a different day, but whenever my day off work is granted by the powers that be, I'm gonna party on that day.

Just make it a long weekend every year. That's the Aussie way.

@CEOofmyhouse56 I'm not sure.... I quite like having just the one holiday that slaps itself randomly into my calendar... Easter is always Mon/Fri, xmas is always a week off, the rest are Mondays.
