The sails of the Sydney Opera House have been lit up with Indigenous artwork to mark Australia Day. The artwork is by Kamilaroi artist Rhonda Sampson and reflects the site of the land on which the Opera House stands, as well as its rich history.
Can’t believe our local country city has changed the name of the Australia Day festival to and aboriginal name of the beach it’s held at. I went today and No one feels free to be proud of their county anymore. There were zero Australian flags anywhere!! I couldn’t believe it.
it is getting to be boring From Vivid to NYE and Oz day they show the same indigenous light show We r being fed endless 1st nation culture when they r only 4% of the pop
N yet again the aboriginal ppl will have a sook
A VB bottle would have been a better representation
So indigenous people can mark the day but ethnic Australians can't
No issues with it but why does it seem like there is an issue with flying our flag? And if you are proud you are likely to be called a racist 😆 Yeh I’m looking at some of you politicians 💩
White person designed art on a white person designed building, awesome. Happy Australia Day.
That’s amazing
It should be lit up with the Australian flag 🇦🇺. It’s Australia Day or have they forgotten?
Lucky a white guy showed them how to paint dot artwork
Is this not a contradiction?
its a good thing this is part of Australia it should be celebrated on Australia day the art style is a sacred piece of our culture as a nation regardless of our skin colors it is unique in the world and all who live here own it because like it or not we are part one big family
Looks nice. Should be a regular thing
This is so beautiful!!
Dot painting was invented by a white fuse in the 1970s and taught to indigenous ppl.
Ironically, Aboriginal art that couldn't have existed without Colonisation.
Oh it looks beautiful
Was the Opera house built by Indigenous or all Australians . So thank Christ Australia was inhabited by Whites or we wouldn’t have an opera house
They should have put the Australian flag on it.
Australia Day is not about one grouo of Australians.
They won't be happy.
Absolutely stunning

Sydney councils reduce Australia Day eventsSome inner-city councils in Sydney are reducing events on Australia day, including moving citizenship ceremonies to the following day. The City of Sydney has moved its annual citizenship ceremony to January the 27th, while the inner west councils have adopted a similar position since 2019. So people who come here and become citizens don’t get an opportunity to celebrate on Australia Day, now that’s un-Australian And this is why I'll celebrate it Councils aren’t government and councillors should be abolished.

Ignoring Australia Day is about railing ‘against Australia’ and its ‘very existence’: Chris KennyChanging or ignoring the date of Australia Day is all about “railing against Australia” and its “very existence”, says Sky News host Chris Kenny. “We did become a country. We should celebrate that as we work to make it even better for everyone,” he said. “None of these organisations campaigning against the very notion, the actual history of this nation, our identity as Australia, none of them should use the name at all.” Damn, that's stupid 😬 True 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕
