MODERATORS
I think what we need to do is to start our own Australia day celebration on an agreed date. We have to spend the currently official day either doing nothing or raising awareness and yet the racists(or uninformed if you're young/new to the country) get to enjoy it celebrating.
I would love a day where we could all celebrate this beautiful country. We need to start the change we want to see in this world and raising awareness has been an excellent step in this journey.
Do you mean that instead of having Australia day be negative on 26th, start the celebration on another day first. Let the mood shift there naturally, rather than out of negativity on the day that's already in place, albeit inappropriately.
That's actually a pretty fucking good idea. Why wait for the government to tell us what to do, they can follow our lead.
There was a moment on question everything where someone suggested a two word slogan for the yes vote: 'long weekend'.
You can see Will Anderson's mind explode.
