Happy Straya Day.
Hope you had a great day.
By the amount of traffic on the Hume earlier, lots of people went camping for a long weekend. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

By the way, can anyone work out what's going on here? (Spotted outside a St Kilda pub on my lunch break.) _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

73% of indigenous Australians said they’re happy for Australia Day to remain
Seems the greenies are trying to tell people what they should be offended by again |

yet about 66% of those in the People's Republic of Melbourne want it changed.
Never mind, as everyone knows 75% of Polls are completely inaccurate and the other 37% are close. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Happy Tony Abbott Day, where we get to go glory in Australia's greatest ever prime minister, who fought heroically on the beaches of the North Shore, mowing down inner city Greens with a barrage of spittle as they left cafes, wheat grass almond milk lattes in both hands, having played a fabled role in the epoch-defining battles of Children Overboard I, Children Overboard II—Afghanistan and Iraq, Climate Science Overboard, Mining Windfall Tax Overboard, Proper NBN Overboard and Children Overboard III—The Defence of Pell.
So, drape your British flag with Southern Cross over your melanomas and go overboard for the great freedoms Tone has fought for! _________________ In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

I would abolish it and not replace it. That will shut everyone up. The protaganists on both sides will be pilloried but who cares. BLM and proud boys, Bloody hell. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

I blame the Greens. I hope they’ll fine the Victorian senator who blatantly disregarded Covid restrictions |

It’s going to change as the old farts like Stui and Eddie still have their head in the sand.
Invasion Day / Survival day is not Australia Day. The younger generations will change it like they have with marriage inequality. They’re much more inclusive than a few conservative rednecks and dinosaurs and despite the right wing trolling of giving the religious bigot Margaret Court another award.
Change is gunna happen baby. Like Trump losing it’s happening baby, it’s happening. As sure as night follows day. _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |

So we just change everything the professional protesters demand?
Over 70% of Aboriginals polled said they still think of Jan 26 as Australia Day, not invasion day. Of course the younger greenie crowd think differently, they always need something to bitch about. Give in here and they’ll just move on to the next issue they think needs changing.
Deciding it’s too hard is the same attitude police had to stopping the BLM protest, can’t upset anyone, how great did that turn out for Victorians? |

“ Perhaps most surprisingly amongst all the arguments about what the day should be known as is the views of people who consider themselves Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Amongst this group 73% say the day should be known as ‘Australia Day’ compared to only 27% that say it should be known as ‘Invasion Day’ – a significantly higher level of support for ‘Australia Day’ than amongst other Australians.”

Also, we need to add stripes to the stars and Union Jack of the Aussie flag so the world knows what a brave, independent nation really looks like!
Oh, and a silhouette of Tony Abbott's ears! _________________ In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.
