Australia Day

The woke-left are out to destroy the Aussie culture you love.
Right now, they want to cancel Australia Day.
And that will give them more muscle to scrap our flag and national anthem…
… and inject ‘racism’ into our Constitution with their Indigenous ‘Voice to Parliament’.
Just last week, Albo changed the rules for Australian public servants to let them go to work and IGNORE Australia Day!
Big businesses are doing the same around the country, as if our national day is something to be ashamed of.
Who knows where this will stop.
Proud Australians like you and me need to put a stop to this woke rubbish, and the first step is to defend our Australia Day.
You can help fight back by fuelling the Save Australia Day campaign to get YOUR voice out front and centre.
It’s vital to take action now, because if the woke-left get their way…
> They will rename Australia Day ‘Invasion Day’ or make it a ‘day of mourning’.
> They will indoctrinate our children into hating our country, its history, culture and values.
> They will demonise any patriotic Australian who decides to continue celebrating Australia Day.
… and then they will move on to their next woke attack on our Australian culture and values.
So give your best today to help stand up against these attacks on our country and stop the woke-left in their tracks.
Your support today will help convince more Australians that they have every right to be proud of our nation’s culture, history and values.
You’ll play a critical role in helping activate millions of Australians nationwide to stand up for Australia Day and keep our nation fair and free for all.
Australians like you and me get just one shot every year…
… and the risk of losing Australia Day has never been higher given this time we have a Labor-Greens government in power.
Your support to defend Australia Day will help make a massive difference – so thank you for giving it your best shot right now!
Grateful for you,
Matthew Sheahan
Executive Director
ADVANCE

I’ll give it my best shot now >>

Absolute piffle. Just more right-wing outrage in search of a target.

As has been pointed out, there's nothing traditional, "sacred" or even logical about January 26 being a day of national commemoration or observance. Howard elevated it as part of his culture war and many of us have ignored it ever since. There are many other days that could be celebrated without invoking the negative connotations of invasion and dispossession. Investing a single act of east coast colonisation (rather than, say, nationhood) with some sort of national "meaning" is designed to fracture and divide our society. If you are so upset about people ignoring it or protesting or telling their own stories, find another day.
