The Albanese government has been accused of"cancelling Australia Day by stealth" following their decision to no longer require local councils to hold citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day.
When asked about the decision, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese rejected the merits of changing the date saying that he supports Australia Day and the government supports Australia Day. "They could have held the line and said to councils, if you don't want to do a citizenship ceremony on Australia Day, if you don't want to be celebrating people becoming citizens on a day when we celebrate the nation, then we'll find somebody else to do it," Mr Hargreaves told Sky News Australia.
Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs, Andrew Giles, also announced that two Melbourne local councils would have their ability to hold citizenship ceremonies restored.
Another blow for the nationalist patriot.
🤣 😂 😅
What do you expect from second generation migrant who cares little for our historical history & way of life.
The damage this Labor Socialist inspired government will inflict on the Australian Constitution and Economy will be irreparable. Stopping Labor’s drive to decimate our nation’s structure is critical. 🇦🇺
Which Australia Day? There have been seven in the last 100 years.
Because they are anti Australian like their mates the Greens.
What is going on in these times
If we force people to observe Australia day, then we are admitting that it's a decisive day. Give everybody the right to do what they want

Albanese has always been a committed communist so why is anyone surprised what he is doing now he holds the reins of power?
He's Green in the middle. Councils should be pulled into line
I thought councils could hold ceremonies at any time already, my FIL who came out from England had his at another time during the year. I am very protective of our Aust Day though

Elect leftists and be surprised what happens!
