Australia Day celebrated with citizenship events, parades, billy cart races and a day at the beachPeople across the country are out celebrating Australia Day, from large citizenship ceremonies in Sydney and parades through Melbourne to beers on the beach in Queensland. On this Aust Day I would like to ack. the Fed. of Aust.and it's associated democracy and independence from our colonial past. This freedom allows us to question the morality of our past, share our present and collaborate with all peoples to a challenging but vibrant future. We all must remember that some whites have allowed Indigenous peoples to prosper, look at these Indigenous doctors, taught by white men. Did ScMo write this article for you ABC? (and the report on the protests against Australia Day was thr minimum you could get away with while still pretending to have some journalistic integrity)

Emergency doctors deployed at Australia Day music festivals | Sky News AustraliaMedical teams are on standby for three music festivals in New South Wales this Australia Day long weekend. \n\nThe Electric Gardens, the Rolling Loud and the Hardcore Till I Die festivals will have an increased medical presence. \n\nThere will be three critical care doctors, a critical care paramedic and four emergency nurses working at each event. \n\nFollowing the deaths of six young people at Australian music festivals in the past six months, the events are being considered high risk for drug overdoses and dehydration. \n\n\n\n\n Have any Police given this simple little 'brainfart' a thought. If a festival-goer enters an area for a concert, he wont be drug tested, but he could be searched though. But if he drives his car in, there's a good chance he will be tested and searched.!!!! Boost the sniffer dogs and implement $10k fines. My taxes hard at work. Again.

Wtf protecting borders and fighting drugs!? These aren't leftists wet dreams from an non white superhero. The bad guy is a nationalist, probably white male. Sounds like a super hero with identity issues Hmmm... that is odd, I thought that the ABC had programmed us into believing that superheroes just perpetuate toxic and violent male stereotypes? 🤔 Hang on. Since when was appropriating another culture a good thing?

'Dear govermint': Child's letter urges Coalition to change the date of Australia DayThe ABC obtains a cache of letters and emails sent to the Indigenous Affairs Minister about Australia Day, with most urging the Government to move the day from January 26. Getting children to do your dirty work? From the mouths of babes; I hope its CC`d to those animals like howard and the other clowns pushing the 'western civilization lies' aka 'how the whites won the world'. More theirABC FakeNews. It's obvious from spelling, grammar, syntax it's by an ABC senior journo probably from ABCthedrum .
