Love the Chinese Junk pulling up and the fireworks from Fyshwick and the "hello Sailor" bit. Clever.

Put it this way: if I was the MD of the mob making this, I would immediately promote the Advertising Manager into the sanitation department as a temporary junior apprentice assistant toilet cleaner, although I admit that he'd probably struggle for a while to master the task.

How to spend a great big truckload of money on advertising and achieve precisely nothing. Who honestly believes that this will sell anything that wasn't going to sell anyway?

Had some mildly amusing moments. I dunno, it's an ad, not sure how much of a rigorous intellectual critique it warrants.

Australia Day opposition �hurts our people�: Issacs

Elder Robert Isaacs has warned fellow indigenous Australians they were damaging their people and causing division by opposing Australia Day.
In a speech to be delivered in Newman on January 26, the ambassador and former chairman of Australia Day WA council will urge Aboriginal people to �get past the hurts of the past�.
Dr Isaacs said the solution was to make Australia Day more of a celebration of Aboriginal culture and acknowledgement of the past.
�That�s what the true spirit of Australia Day and cultural inclusivity should look like,� Dr Isaacs said.

I agree with him, (well said in the article), many won't.

Too many people with too many agendas to ever hope for an outcome that will please everyone, changing the date won't fix that.

Focus on the first Australians on Australia day and make it inclusive of all cultures, try to encourage that inclusion rather than the opposite and try to build a culture.
