Sydney council to cancel Australia Day celebrations | Sky News AustraliaA Sydney council has announced plans to cancel Australia Day celebrations on January 26 in favour of an Aboriginal festival called Yabun. \n\nCouncillor Darcy Byrne told Sky News the date of Australia Day was unlikely to change so “the way we mark the date does need to change”. \n\n“Given January 26 does mark, for Aboriginal people, the beginning of colonisation, dispossession and the removal of children, the deliberate destruction of language and culture, there is a better and more mature way to commemorate the day that includes them,” he said. \n\nThe Inner West Council – which Councillor Byrne described as “the birthplace of multiculturalism”- will vote on the changes next week and with the backing of Labor and Greens councillors, it is expected to pass. \n I've heard of Yacant but never Yabun. fuk yeh Don’t the aboriginals live in Australia too?
