Changing the date ‘won’t end Australia Day bashing’ | Sky News AustraliaAustralia’s “shameful episodes” are no reason to avoid celebrating Australia’s “successful, cohesive and free society” on the national day, Sky News host Rita Panahi says.\n\nMs Panahi said people born in Australia or those who are lucky enough to migrate to Australia have “won the lottery of life” and are “deadset” against changing the national date.\n\n“Next it will be changing the anthem then the flag then eliminating the national day altogether,“ Ms Panahi said.\n\n“Poll after poll has shown the overwhelming majority of Australians support the national day on January 26, but we have a loud, bitter class of shrill, self-loathers in the media, academic, government bodies… all telling us our national holiday is a shameful celebration of oppression, genocide and western imperialism,” she said.\n\n“More than 70 per cent of Australians support Australia Day being celebrated,” Ms Panahi said.\n\n“But, of course, the left won’t accept a poll commissioned by a centre-right thinktank, so let’s look at a poll that was commissioned by the very left-leaning Guardian.”\n\n“They found only six per cent of Australians felt negatively towards Australia Day; among Indigenous Australians, 31 per cent felt negatively.”\n\nImage: Getty RitaPanahi ...racist Sky News host Rita Panaihi says...
