webfact Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Australia Day: City shifts celebrations to 'inclusive alternative' A Western Australian port city will delay celebrating Australia's national day after consulting with Aboriginal elders. The Australia Day public holiday marks the arrival of Britain's First Fleet on 26 January 1788. Celebrations are held around the country, but many Indigenous Australians refer to it as "invasion day". Fremantle council said it would hold a "culturally inclusive alternative" on 28 January instead.

SaintLouisBlues Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 The indigenous peoples' grievance industry is in full swing again. Some Native Americans marked yesterday not as Thanksgiving but as "a national day of mourning". I'm guessing there are still Anglo-Saxons who feel aggrieved by the Norman invasion in 1066 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvr181 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 The "conquered" always want to lay the blame elsewhere. It is a fact of history about what happened, like it or not - just learn to live with it and stop with the crying and wringing of hands! In other words, get over it and move on. What is done, is done and not likely to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pdaz Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 What a feed of <deleted>... They are all pretty happy with booze, fast food, mobile phones, flushing toilets and a Monthly cheque from the Govt.. Maybe Brits should start whinging about being invaded by the Vikings and seek reparations? It's history.. people get conquered and life moves on.
