God no. In Vic it's the only public holiday between Anzac Day / Easter & late September early October 
Then again I'd support a "Harvester Judgement" day in winter. |
The Mabo judgement was handed down on 3rd June. Just sayin'. On the other point, you've got Labour Day already, comrade.

You have the consequences of conquest and settlement of unoccupied territory back to front. In the case of a conquest, there are pre-existing local laws and those continue (provided that they are not inimical to the principles of law of the new sovereign), unless and until abrogated by the new sovereign.
That was the entire reason for the legal fiction of the expanded doctrine of terra nullius - if a territory is uninhabited, the new sovereign's laws apply, unmodified; if it is inhabited and conquered, there is a question about the recognition of the existing laws of the "old" inhabitants. Saying, in substance, that the "old" inhabitants are really just savages with no cognizable system of law, so that a land is "practically uninhabited". enables a subjugating power to ignore the rights of the subjugated people under their own prior system of social organisation. The first sentence of paragraph 68 of the report to which you've linked more or less makes the point (although it should be stressed that it is published 6 years before Mabo 2 was decided, so it needs to be approached with a little caution). You will have seen discussion in Mabo 2 of the Case of Tanistry - that concerned the question of the extent to which Irish property law should continue to apply once the English had conquered Ireland. |

| When Collingwood and Essendon supporters start performing routine acts of genocide against the supporters of the clubs "dispossessed" of Anzac Day, it will certainly be possible to link the two issues in that way. |

Unless of course Carlton was one. In which case it wouldn't be genocide, it would be varmint culling

| After having to follow yet another Super Bowl by snatching scores between submissions, I'm even more certain that we should shift the date to the first Monday in February To Show Solidarity With Our American Friends. |

Pass. Gridiron does my head in.
I like watching the highlights but can't watch a game that takes 5 hours to play with the ball actually in play for 10 minutes

And here we are again! Happy Australia Day!
Bloody happy I’m not dressing up for a ceremony, when the time comes a nice little office with no cameras will do!
Well no way I’m jet skiing with a storm coming and a sprained ankle! Quite Day, hubby working on his race car, apparently I’m going down there to clean the other boat and eat a roast he’s cooking there. Hmm. Not sur3 how that happened! Working on yesterday’s prompt, connection, (probably the dog and the kid) and today’s is coffee! Ah coffee! How do you represent the blessing that coffee is in the morning!
Cheers happy AUSTRALIA Day!

Happy Australia Day from Bali.
Fair to say we'll be avoiding all the Aussie Pubs around here today!
