When we consider the millions in Australia day activities this handful of non Australian activists is meaningless and not worth reporting.

Effing idiots they are not and never will be Australians..I could say so much more ,but I've got big brother TWITTER watching

A couple of thousand people protested. Twenty+ million had a great Australia Day with family and friends.

Thousands taken part, millions didn’t....

Most didn't even know what they were protesting about.

I guess all you guilt filled Aussies should move back to Britain....

more like invading my sensibility

What was done to the indigenous is terrible. I still love my country, and Australia day.

thousands protest millions celebrate

Do all these idiots realise that they probably would not be able to protest like this if Australia was 'INVADED' by some other close by nations, Thank God for them it was the British

Millions not protesting!

It's actually immigration day. The first fleet were immigrants.

Invasion; terrible over powerment; stripping assumed (Earth) land rights, AU Day; lucky its not Japan day. Suggest 19 Feb 1942 until invaded

There were more people at the Australia Dar dance party on the Mornington Peninsula.

Multi millions celebrate Australia Day.

I love invasion day, I picture Cpt Cook ramming the Bounty ashore and storming Bondi beach muskets blazing, an honering day indeed

All the commenters here seeing a march and instantly jumping in with 'But millions celebrated it!' That's some mighty fragile patriotism you go there. 😂 It's not that millions did, it's that increasing numbers don't. And rally to show that. But hey, 'Muh magical sky cloth.'

They still turned out on the day.

Who Gives a Shit!!!

Meanwhile, in regional Australia, we celebrated the day.

And millions think these thousands of people are silly

Well, Australia Day is over, so we might get a break from these stupid protesters until... ANZAC DAY!

Get a job

So all the non indigenous who protested will be catching the first available flight out in the morning then? AustraliaDay auspol

Over the years, Australia Day has been shaped into a day of unison. Where people of all nationalities gain citizenship, where families get together and enjoy a BBQ, where whole communities get together, where a whole city eagerly awaits the sky works. Don’t take that away.

Sorry Everyone every day of the week.

Wow I missed it. Have been out celebrating all day and was astonished and so proud to see the many many thousands of others doing the same. Love you Ozz

Hi. Reality check...millions, yes...millions, enjoyed the day. Don't let the toddlers distract you from the awesomeness of Australia Day.

The numbers getting less.

Happy Australia day

Millions didn’t attend these anti-Australian Day protests.

The first or the second..... Who was here first.... As the Picts said to the Celts... Bugger the Saxons and the Romans

🖕🖕🖕🖕

Who gives a rats arse about a few thousand protestors. The majority enjoyed the day having fun in the sun. Stop giving these areshole air and they'd vanish. Media propagate the hate

MSMWatchdog2013 I saw more aboriginal flags and apparel than 🇦🇺 today.

Without a clue why they are protesting. Soecial kind if stupid.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

I think she abolished her date a long while ago. That's why so much shit comes out of her mouth.

Thousands protest...MILLIONS celebrate!!!

These people are just stupid because they can’t get a grip on the past. History is lost on them, the English never claim Hawaii or NZ because they found, signs of civilization. But here nothing! so it was vacant land . Maybe they should all move back to whence they came

Divide by 5. Not many per city. Greens not good at tech or maths.

200 years to get to 13Million but only 45 years to double population to 26million so not hard to see who is causing the drama ? Stop there entitlement to cash housing medical dental ? Watch how quick they snap out of it

Those activists taking part in these noisy Invasion Day protests are all taking advantage of the results of the so-called 'Invasion'....modern city living, computers, iPhones, university education, ample food, water, medical services, entertainment facilities....an Invasion

Fears of clashes between 'Invasion Day' protesters and far-right groupsVictoria Police say they are ready to deploy vast resources to Melbourne's CBD on Saturday, when potentially ugly scenes are predicted between opposing protesters. It will continue every year on Jan 26th until we change the date of Australia day and have some leadership on the issue. Clashes expected by far-left protesters and far-right groups. There ... fixed it. Here we go again. Those trying to prevent the deliberate division of Australia on the very day we come together as Australians are branded 'far right'. Likely the PM will also reinforce his label for them, of 'Neo-Nazis'.
