Yuin woman Aileen Monta, who attended the Sydney rally, said her hope is for unity as the nation prepares to vote in the referendum.
At a citizenship ceremony in Canberra, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese acknowledged 26 January was "a difficult day for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples", but said the federal government had no plans to change the date of the national day despiteHe said support for "the world's oldest continuous culture" was best directed towards backing Indigenous constitutional recognition in the Voice to Parliament referendum to be held later this year.
They also greeted some of Australia's newest citizens as more than 19,000 people across the nation took part in ceremonies. Kamilaroi artist Rhonda Sampson stands in front of her artwork ‘Diyan Warrane’ that was projected onto the sails of the Sydney Opera House at dawn as part of the January 26 events."You bring us the world, and you bring us your drive, your passion, your talent and aspiration. Looking through the list of occupations represented here today, it’s a roll-call of skills Australia wants and needs," Mr Albanese said.
Are aboriginal Australians surrendering? If not, no need for a treaty.
She doesn't look very aboriginal to me. Yet another pale skinned person with European features who finds it politically convenient to claim to be indigenous while ignoring her other ancestry. Being a first nations person is fashionable now. Don't let the facts get in the way.
Defund Sbs
🌗
She’s so racist and trying to cause trouble
This is an Example of unhinged Melbourne. Dan Andrews’legacy , people in Melbourne are divided on everything. Sad 😞
Why did SBS omit this? Defund SBS.
And if wasn't for the early settlers late 1700's, none of you would have been born......what a pathetic bunch of drama queen hypocrites !!
Miss integrity
Im still confused how people with the same European heritage as the people they despise, like Lydia Thorpe, attempt to speak as if they represent the aboriginal people. They must be very confused individuals desperately attempting to cling to a group of which they are not part of
Impassioned? She is inciting violence and is not fit to be called a leader. Disgusting way to cover this hate by SBS.
Impassioned plea !! She's a domestic terrorist who should be expelled from parliament & jailed
A Stone Age race that never invented the wheel in 60,000 years, was always destined, to not control its future. Happy Australia Day !!!!
Inciting hate, division and war is considered 'impassioned plea' by ! Australia VoteNo auspol LaborLies
We're sick of hearing you whinge every year about the same shit that you have made no effort to change !
She also wants every Australian to pay a rent tax on every home in Australia and give it to indigenous ppl
we wont ever change the date. This is beautiful every year i am reminded how bad Aborigines have it in Australia when the world governments created globalism :D The people just have to watch this circus for the next 100 years until its all white 'first' nations people.
The crowd wasn't even that big yesterday. There were more at the covid protests at the beginning.
So will you keep protesting on this date forever if so why is ok for her to waffle on with her shit but not ok for people that choose to celebrate the day , absolute oxygen thief
It’s so lovely to see someone on their high horse painting every non-indigenous Australian with the same racism brush. Not sure about you all here but I’m out and about daily and I don’t hear racism at all coming from non-indigenous.
Impassioned, is that what you call it Aggressive, hate filled & divisive more like it!🙄
Federal Parliament is a 'poison chalice'? She doesn't mind sipping out of it to the tune of approx $211k per year though. She's playing.
Bikie moll. And a fishmongers wife.
Did she arrive in a Harley Davidson? They have wheels don’t they? You know what didn’t have a wheel
Keep dreaming!!!
Typifies the violent, aggressive, hate filled trash on the left
Strange way to request peace and would she prefer that indigenous children stay in an environment of violence, rape, incest, drunkedness, abuse and lack of food or move to an environment where they can be properly cared for until they can make their own life decisions.
In case you missed it … an elected politician inciting violence and domestic terrorism because she’s got a chip on her shoulder for being directly descended from Stone Age hunters and gatherers.
The brutal, sad reality of politics in Australia is that if the Voice referendum goes down, this will embolden the forces or reaction and racism in this country. Any hope of a Treaty driven by the federal gov't will be dead, as will Truth-telling.
Marxism is toxic
Bullshit. She declared war on Australia. She is a treasonous liar and should be in prison.
🎻 She isn’t adding anything positive to the discussion. She’s more likely to radicalise the aboriginal youth than to initiate positive change.
26 January Australia aboriginal genocide InvasionDay and StopHazaraGenocide
“Give me money”
If by 'impassioned' you really mean 'psychotic' and 'violent' then yes.
'We need peace' as she declares war.
Can or anyone else substantiate the facial markings on her face as real indigenous cultural markings or invented make believe?
I lost trust in Greens.
What kids are we taking now?
Will such a treaty put an end to our immigration-fed population growth? If not I see no merit in a treaty. IA's would have been complicit in selling themselves down river: never-ending encroachment on Country. Never-ending marginalisation of Culture. I am not interested in tokens
And we’re sick of hearing this crap. What a load of crap
Biggest racist going around, criminal
her actions and words are NO less inflammatory than MehreenFaruqi. The greens are rancid RACISTS and get away with 'murder'.
🤡🌏 with 🏍️
Oxygen thief
Attention seeking Fauxriginal
This person has no credibility.
Ratbag!
🤣🤣
good to see she's advocating to get rid of herself, there's nothing worse than division creating racists
SBS should be recognised for what it is. An enemy of Australia.
After that Racism is gone by her
“Sovereign” = you consider you are better than the rest of us. That’s racism and discrimination you hypocrite.
It just gets sillier.
Where R the brown or black skinned Indigenous? All i see is white. I understand all the pain that the indigenous people of Australia is feeling 100%. But so sorry my Austronesian brothers n sisters. But Im not buying it that this cause is for u my brother. Stay safe all love 4u.
There will be no peace until Blak Australia takes some responsibility for their own issues. To have a Aboriginal Senator claim white Australia steals their babies, rapes their women & murders their men makes most angry. She’s a disgrace.
I am all for justice, fairness, reconciliation & fair go for ALL! BUT I just find Ms Thorpe so divisive!
Happy to change the date, but no matter what, Europeans will always now be demonised on the landing of the First Fleet on the 26th January 1788 (Ps. Cpt. Cook arrived in April 1770). The 26th of January will become a day of mourning (shame) moving forward. It shouldn’t be.
1. No one is dying 2. If you don’t want your kids taken from you maybe try taking care of them. 3. If you don’t want your men demonised maybe teach your boys to not beat women. 4. This country is 1 of the most culturally diverse places in the world. Where’s all this racism?
Impassioned🥴 fake
You peace in this but about too much racism from white people
Translation - Lidia wants your money.
And BS to buy votes
Hear Hear Lidia.. Keep speaking your truth.. ✊✊✊✊
What happened to the investigation into Lidia's bikie affiliation, while she was on a crime committee?
