    It’s become a day/weekend for bogan flag waves to get drunk and annoy the shit out of everyone.

    It’s the only long weekend I stay home and don’t go camping due to ever increasing fuckwits.

    The entire idea of Australia Day means nothing to me anymore.

      Perth has an Australia Day tradition that’s pretty wholesome. The slogan this year is “Reflect. Respect. Celebrate” it’s a family day, very multicultural. Tonight there’s fireworks and a drone show.

      The Commonwealth and state governments agreed to unify the celebrations on 26 January as “Australia Day” in 1946. So it is not even an age-old tradition the white supremacists like to pretend it is.

      Not according to Murdoch’s report. Am surprised they published it.

      Scenes at Bondi Beach today made it clear: Australia Day certainly isn’t celebrated as it used to be.

      “I went to a barbecue last year, and I was surprised because they had heaps of Australian flag stuff out, but they wouldn’t have done that in public,” she said.

        I don’t get it first they’re saying that the majority of Australians celebrate Australia Day over on Sky but now they’re admitting maybe they were wrong on Sky?
