You know nothing about me or my family Bob ,how can you say I am part of the problem ? I don't confirm to your view , doesn't meant I don't understand, or am part of the problem, look up my family history in coonamble and surrounds and your views of me may change.

Not confrontational , just stating fact.

Fair enough. I just think there has been too much talk of invasion day, and Australia day has turned into a bit of a joke, really. The proper date for Australia Day is January 1st.

The first step to reconciliation would be to move Australia Day to the date federation was declared, which I believe is Jan. 1st. A date decided by the Australian people, through their elected representatives. As long as we celebrate a random English man stepping on our soil and claiming Terra Nullis [ think that's it] we will always exclude a large portion of our population. Like it or not, until our indigenous people are made to feel included in the Australian story, we will always have this division. And radicals from both sides will take advantage of this division. I don't want my grandchildren to be having this conversation. As distasteful as it may be for some, we must find a way . Just my thoughts, if we can't do this, I fear for the future of this country.
