Yanner attacks Australia Day plan By Ashleigh Wilson January 24, 2003
FIERY Aboriginal activist Murrandoo Yanner has denounced Aboriginal involvement in Australia Day, saying there is no reason for indigenous people to celebrate when they find themselves excluded for the rest of the year.
The former ATSIC commissioner said yesterday January 26 should remain as "invasion day" until indigenous inequalities were overcome.
"What the hell is there to celebrate on one day of the year when the other 364 days in the year you're f...ed over by the same system you're celebrating?" Mr Yanner said yesterday from Burketown in north-west Queensland.
"We have got nothing to celebrate other than survival. So f... Australia Day."
Mr Yanner's comments were in response to Brisbane Council of Elders chairman Herb Bligh who has urged Aborigines to take part in official Australia Day celebrations this weekend in the name of reconciliation.
