Smart move

Bullshit. It's election time. His position will change after the action to appease the Greens and scum of the left.

With elections looming, why would he? The conversation can commence post election victory 👍

Just keep voting for everything LNP want Bill? Labor I love you, but for god sake get a new leader he's a dud!

Having checked the polls that only 10% support a date change, billshortenmp has made a decision based on principle to keep the date. The same way he supported traditional marriage until he didn’t. auspol

Does billshortenmp have any original idea or progressive policies ? That make him different to ScottMorrisonMP auspol bringthemhere manus nauru

Of course he did. 70% of Australians voted to keep the date as it is

Bill just saying nothing to offend and create the possibility of losing a vote..

Like there will be no carbon tax, right?

That’s a shame billshortenmp. I don’t think anyone denies we should have a national day. But when? I think we should hold a referendum on a new date.

By saying this it removes any oxygen that Scumo hoped to gain on the racist front for his shitty political gain

That's a pity billshortenmp I'm hoping you will change your mind on this one. 26th is the wrong day.

😴

Yahoo. Our savior.

changeaustralia Why I no longer support changethedate via IndigenousX

Same old waffle every January. Leave it and move on.

The unions must want to leave it on the 26th.

until his watermelon mates make him an offer he can't refuse 🤡

ALP = alt.LNP

Good.

Blah blah Bill is at it again

WTF _billshortenmp. Grow some traditional Labor guts and do what is right AusPol

Gee, no change to Australia Day, no change to offshore processing, support for encryption laws. Sounds just like another major party. auspol

Specific other dates include usual suspects, but here are more: 27/11 - Rommel lifted the Siege of Tobruk. That day, the Nazis' very best was forced to admit defeat - at OUR hands. 5/7 - Queen Victoria gave Royal Assent to our Constitution, making us a nation. Auspol (2/2)

Bill, anyone who gives a damn about it remaining the 26th isn't going to vote Labor anyway - you're too 'lefty' (read: post-Victorian in outlook) for their taste! Other possible dates have at least some merit... Auspol (1/2)

He asked wifey if it was ok first though.

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.
