Shorten treats Australia Day debate as 'big joke': Di Natale | Sky News AustraliaGreens Leader Richard Di Natale says Opposition Leader Bill Shorten is joining with Prime Minister Scott Morrison in a 'culture war' over the date of Australia Day.\n\nSenator Di Natale told Sky News that Mr Shorten is treating the issue as a 'big joke' and not showing the leadership Australians expect in order to make peace with and acknowledge the nation's past. \n\nThe PM has warned local councils they will be stripped of their citizenship ceremonies if they do not hold them on Australia Day. \n\nMany reject the current date, which they argue represents the 'invasion' of Australia with the arrival of the First Fleet.\n\n\n\n\n\n Why is it a culture war when we want to keep our traditions in tact... yet when Dickhead Di Natale wants to rip up the very fabric this country was built on its totally ok? The bloke is a dead set wanker. More people support leaving Australia Day on Jan 26th (75%) than there was supporters of same sex marriage (61%). The left claimed a landslide victory with that 61%. Tell us again who's stirring shit, Richard? When they’re done with Australia Day, they’ll come for ANZAC Day. There’s no pleasing them.

GerardBenedet Its history actually. We weren't Australia before Jan 1, 1901 so Oz Day should accurately reflect that. Jan 26 is important in our history but does not signify the date we became a nation. If such a change also eases some Aboriginal grievances, all the better. GerardBenedet It’s a Rupert Murdoch effort to divide the nation and create sales for himself. Just like his war on Christmas! Remember we are talking a bloke who hacks dead kids phones and taunts her grieving parents with text messages, just so sick Rupert could roll in more cash. auspol
