The one question to ask on Australia DayIt’s a summer affair — we can hear the cadence of unfolding camp chairs, the hissing of oil and beef, the fireworks of cracking tinnies. In the backdrop, warriors are stomping into formation. The day of January 26, as it unfolds across the nation, means many different things to us all.

Stick to news and stop with unwanted agenda narrative , guess shouldn't expect anthing less from a digital MSM 🖕
