    I just spent two days with my Father in Law, former POW on 'that' railway, burying his daughter, my wife. Do you reckon he'd be standing with these clowns. He, and all his mates, fought precisely so that the left scourge would not win. At the same time, the Unions were sabotaging and stealing from the wharves. You pick your sides in this. I have picked mine.

    As for Invasion Day, there was no "Nation" here to invade. There were a bunch of tribal communities fighting each other for territory, or, more likely, hunting. Has anyone considered how the "Indigenous" people would have fared if Cortez had arrived here? La Perouse got here a little late as well, but how would it have gone if HE had got here first?

    Someone was going to arrive, it was just a matter of time. At least, we still have some indigenous people to worry about. Not sure that would be the case if the Spanish, French, Belgians or Germans had arrived first.

    I have seen first hand the tragedy of the Indigenous, which is more than any of those clowns on the front page have done, and I would dearly like to make it right for them. Proper, decent care may do that. A date on a calendar won't. Their ancestors had no concept of a calendar, and neither do the the families on the Todd river.

    Doesnt matter who was present. Your comment is derogatory, calls out a faux race stereotype “white dudes”, this is patently racist. Thank you, you can’t shake that off.

    No, a simple act of government, not even parliament AFAIK.

    IIRC it wasn't a public holiday on the actual 26th until 1994?

    Prior to that it was just a long weekend nearby.

    I want some of what you're smoking.

    By that rational I'm assuming you think "black lives matter" is racist too?

    Might be in short supply . I think the navy has just confiscated another big chunk of hash.

    thousands protesting vs millions celebrating.
