CraigKellyMP Bollocks it will! ChangeTheDate InvasionDay

CraigKellyMP I think you’ll find, and I’ll happily stand corrected but I’m certain I’m close to accurate if not spot on, that roughly 25m Australians couldn’t give a flying f$&k what Craig Kelly thinks, does or says. On any topic. auspol

CraigKellyMP When did Australia start CraigKellyMP ? When it was 'found'? C'mon. Let's be serious, Let's celebrate the great qualities of Australia, not English conquest. What about the Dutch discoveries in 1606? Or what about RESPECT of 60,000 years of ownership. Move the date!

CraigKellyMP Like how this fella thinks, well said

CraigKellyMP Because legislating one side of an argument without settling it first never lead to social unrest? Don’t be fucking ridiculous.

CraigKellyMP How would legislation change the debate? Please explain CraigKellyMP. Your job is to listen to the Australian public not squash debate. Why is the 26th so important to you? Please educate yourself why the 26th is not inclusive for all Australians. Btw legislation can be repealed

CraigKellyMP Have you told that to nyunggai bet not you GRUB

CraigKellyMP Meanwhile .... Communities in the far west NSW has no drinking water.... Kick this incompetent mob out...

CraigKellyMP 😂😂

CraigKellyMP Every damn year this argument arises mainly by the “look at me” crowd who have nothing more to do than create dissent.

CraigKellyMP legislation which in any case could be repealed, assuming it ever got passed. Silly attention seeking

CraigKellyMP END the debate, how stupid is this guy.

CraigKellyMP 😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a fool

CraigKellyMP Storm in a D cup

CraigKellyMP There appear to be many non indigenous Australians who believe the 26th of January to be “invasion day.” Obviously they will take the only honourable course of action and leave Australia immediately, rather than perpetuate the “invasion?” auspol australiaday FirstEdition

CraigKellyMP Oh yeah because you can’t ever change legislation 😂🙄

CraigKellyMP Blames the left for everything and I doubt Jeff Kennet is on the left..

CraigKellyMP It really would not end the debate. It will still be known as Invasion Day by many, regardless of what any law says. Laws don’t dictate values - it’s the other way around.

CraigKellyMP So you’re advocating the legislation ,without debate , of a date that has no literal historical significance to anything other that Jan 26 , educate yourselves before legislating anything , you’re a pack of Dills

CraigKellyMP “DO WHAT I WANT AND WE WONT BE ARGUING ANYMORE”. That’s really creative Craig. Pure political genius. I can’t understand why you have never made it to the lofty heights of even an Assistant Minister. Remind me again why you are so unpopular auspol

CraigKellyMP Just do it. Sick of this ridiculous debate every year. Celebrate don’t deliberate. In the Big picture it’s so unimportant.

CraigKellyMP “Hi, I’m Craig Kelly and I’m not aware that legislation be repealed. I am very smart”

CraigKellyMP Good. Do it!!!!

CraigKellyMP January, groundhog month, here we go again on the Australia Day date debate..........

CraigKellyMP It would definitely inflame the ‘debate’. But ahh..........Craig Kelly.....forget it..

CraigKellyMP Hahaha CraigKellyMP you clown

CraigKellyMP Lol no it would actually make things worse. How dumb is this guy?

CraigKellyMP Question for Craig Kelly. When was the 26th of Jan. assumed to be Australia Day and has it ever been held on other dates?

CraigKellyMP Your ignorance never ends CraigKellyMP Poll from 32,000+ voters - not that it would make any difference to the corrupt LiberalAus They have shown they are not swayed by the the voters WHO EMPLOY THEM.

CraigKellyMP Is this satire? 👆 This arse doesn't know how to tie his own shoelace, let alone make comment on important societal developments. BTW why don't you get out of the studio and go traipse around the country, see how ppl are doing it tough. leaner rwfnj ElectionNow lnpfail

CraigKellyMP Isn't this the guy being assisted to stay in politics and not able to do so on his own fruition? Like, not enough voters for his opinion to really need to be heard?

CraigKellyMP 'Craig Kelly says.' - Turns TV off.

CraigKellyMP IF YOU GIVE ME WHAT I WANT THEN THERE IS NO NEED TO ARGUE C Kelly 23.1.2019 in his final months of polirics

CraigKellyMP It would extend the debate and increase the loss to the right when the date changes
