So it has gone from a minority of people that call Australia Day "Invasion" day to a majority overnight, Crikey that was quick [bigwhistle]
Nobody is denying history But there are those that want to twist the Facts into Myths in their attempt to force their agenda upon others, I am pretty confident that it Isn't the Australia Day supporters doing this

did NASA invade the moon?
they were all in the military after all.

Calling it a settlement is twisting the facts. We certainly weren't invited to take over land which was already occupied and managed. Let's just call it what it was - an invasion.
