- Australia's "Invasion Day": Why are Indigenous Australians Protesting? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Australia Day is celebrated on the 26th of January. It marks the day the first British fleet docked in Sydney Harbour and raised the Union Jack. But for indigenous Australians, the day is known as "Invasion Day". It marks the beginning of European colonisation. Indigenous Australians want the date of Australia Day changed, or the holiday to be abolished completely. Will Australian politicians listen to the Indigenous minority? Palki Sharma tells you.

Thank you for bringing this to attention, we must remember history how it actually was
I am saddened by the decay of democracy happening ins Australia.
Late journalist John Pilger and others always referred to Australia as an Apartheid system.
Most happy with Australia and all it's inhabitants
Rise up Aboriginal Australia
What's your solution? Hand a developed nation over to a group who cannot care for themselves, function in society and are filled with hatred? Sounds intelligent

Some well-to-do educated Aboriginal with statesman leadership qualities is right there waiting to do the job of leading Aboriginals out of this constant oppression
You can not change a History, but you can prepare for future in Unity not in division 🤔
So true.. I am indigenous .. I ❤ Australia just how we are . It's beta then many other countries

not by celebrating a day which marked the doom of some of your people.

India was a non-violent empire during the Indian Prince known as the "Buddha" who colonized the Orient, created the Indo Pacific, hence the Indian Ocean. NO it is not the same thing. Creation/God is a loving and "intelligent" energy. Life has to move forward, humans have to evolve into this energy. India's energy was already there but India did not understand the thinking of the west which is based on resources $$$ and the British came in as "false" friends and India "Set the Sun". Europeans, Africans, Orientals are not India's friends or enemy, for ALL economics comes first. Asia is Egypt, Turks, Arabs, Israel, Persia, India. Sadly the Kings of Asia brought in African slavery, later the Portuguese brought in slavery into South India, same as in America, South America, etc. and the sins of slavery has hurt all civilizations. Radical faiths within Islam has destroyed Central Asia. Instead of praying 4 times a day, pray once and study economic, mathematics, etc. That is why the west was able to bomb Syria, Iraq, etc. also it was Obama, a tool used by the west. When India was more powerful, India had the wisdom to understand that a having good economic relations with a eternity neighbors is a win win then fighting over a inch on the borders. Today China's leadership is more aggressive, hopefully they will gain the wisdom to understand that having two great civilization like Russia and India is a win win economically. But the egos of humans always gets in the way. It is like Buddha said "be in the present" that means spiritually, economically, etc. India has very busy neighbors so BEWARE, ALERT. The original faith of India was scientific, mathematics, that will be the future of India, inspirations, forward thinking because Creation/God wants to create beauty, greatness from within humans to move his creation forward. Radical, fear based superstitions, dogma faiths that surpress women instead of educating them are not aligned with Creation/God because life does not move, nor does it give positive results. China, Russia have the death penalty for anyone dealing in drugs, India needs to do the same because this is the new evil weapon of war. America/Taliban were running a drug cartel through Afghanistan, Paksitan, etc. Today the Italian Mafia(Vatican included) has teamed up with the Nigerian Mafia to sell drugs and prostitution to Africa and the world!!!

We Native American people see Columbus day as an insult to our heritage.
Well we Australians don't see Australia Day as an insult because we understand it's celebrated on the 26th because on the 26/01/1949 Australians became Aussies and no longer British subjects with British documents. We have citizenship ceremonies on this day for that exact reason. Activists who are mostly white believe this day as the first landing of Europeans which is incorrect that happened a week earlier but a British flag was raised on the 26th

You obviously don't understand.
I was born in Yeperenye. I was gifted an education by what the first fleet established. There were specific orders made by the British monarchy to not harm the indigenous people of New Holland.

Australia would not be a wealthy peaceful first world country today if Britain didnt colonise it
So your argument is that Britain murdered and committed genocide of locals in Australia to develop them.
Well I am very interested to know what was your argument to colonise India. India was developed and India share on global gdp was 24%.
You are shameless and have no remorse on the crimes and genocides committed.
Is they ask for it,if not who gave ur ancestors right to invade their land & life,alter their life as they believe,and slaughter them , famous quote "if every justification accepted without reasoning then all crimes are justified "
Well said! Respect!
but the problem is that they dont treat aboriginals as equals. they are discriminated by the whites. they are forced to live in rural areas and the economic difference between the whites and the aboriginals is very high. They snatch children from the aboriginals and keep them in youth detention camp where they are sexually abused. therefore they would definitely dont want to get colonised.
how can it be genocide when theres more Aborignies now then there were 200 years ago @@WorldCitizen-gz6fn
There is always bad and good side of history. No country will deny this fact. But it is wiser to learn from the bad and improve and hold on to what is good, appreciate it in order to move forward. And that is what history is all about. History has taught us to adjust and improve for better outcomes.
Yes but stuff has to be fixed before people can move forward. Time will elapse and the world will move forward regardless. If we haven't done much to address the wrongs, have we really learnt everything we could from the past?
This is the problem with Thanksgiving as well. The idea is rather than celebrating the myth of pilgrims and Natives dining together, which is something that never happened. Is to change this to a Native Peoples' day, to highlight and address issues faced by the Natives.
History isn't irrelevent to an extent where the lives of human beings that were massacres can be ignored to fit a narrative that whats done is done, please move on. Thats quite myopic, irrational and a blatent ignorance.
It's normal coverup. Not every country. India is an exception to the colonial agenda.
We as a country have said sorry, they have been given billions of dollars to help communities but most of them won't help themselves, they have been given 50% of the country, they live off tax payers. These types of people want to be victims, and nothing will be enough. The past is not the future, Australia Day is about coming together as a country and moving forward in a better direction.
Just because the minority wants to be loud doesn't mean they are right.
Well said! It’s true.. they are keeping the divide alive and racial tension, govt needs to stop with the handouts as they want to live like it’s 1800 again, let them build their own huts and burn them down if they want to, stop wasting tax payer money on the ungrateful. Then I bet they protest about that.. can’t win! It’s all about the money for them.. I thought it would be over when Rudd said sorry but obviously not 😩
First good argument I have seen on defence of Australia Day.
Yes acknowledgement is the key. Acknowledge that genocide committed in name of British Empire was wrong. That is first step towards atonement.
Yes today's Australia is proud rich and diverse. Today Australians have done the right thing and should not be held responsible for deeds of the past.
Also I hate victim mentality 2-3 generations of hard honest work is enough to change one's fortunes if opportunity exists.
The natives should not take handouts but should work hard with fellow Australians in 21st century to make it an example of diversity and brotherhood.
@WorldCitizen-gz6fn This is the same problem as with any of these victim activists. These people go on about how their rights are violated while violating everyone elses. It is just another money-making scam by organisers to rope in these people with issues.
Even though the majority voted no for the Voice referendum, it didn't mean hate towards the indigenous. It was about growing our nation as one. We are not the racist people. They are, and the hypocrisy is very noticeable. When thinking about all these issues with critical thinking, it's easy to see who is actually right. Correct information is very important.
First of all, do not celebrate the invasion day as National day... It's like rubbing salt in the wounds...Did you ever think of that. Secondly reject the British colonial symbols immediately, you could start with national flag for instance
@@MohitKumar-nj8ms No matter if you change the day, the day 26th will always be labeled as "Invasion Day" for some.
Australia Day is NOT the day Australia was colonised… it’s the day when we were all able to become Australian Citizens. Nothing to do with when Cook landed. So maybe get your facts straight instead of spouting misinformation.
Meanwhile, Indians now comprise the largest migrant group to Australia!

Ask yourself in that amount of time (60,000years) what has the Aboriginal people and what did they actually achieve?
Now compare other countries /peoples, yes the, Aztecs, Greeks, Romans, Vikings, Egyptians, the Europeans, yes they went through the Stone Age, Bronze Age the Iron Age, now the space age.They developed written language, works of art, built magnificent buildings, written history, plays etc, traveled the world in wooden ships (that they built themselves with tools) and navigated by the stars, Gave us wonderful books, fact and fiction to educate/entertain.
Now tell me in all that time (60,000 years) what did The Australian Aborigine achieve?????????? Australian has plenty of Iron, coal, wood etc and in those years could not make iron nor build a structure of any description, A piece of bark leant against a tree was home and shelter. Did not have vegetable gardens or crops of any description, nor did they have a written language! Plus all the different tribe were at war with each other, Infant mortality and cannibalism was in vogue with most tribes.
I was told all this when I was about 12 years of age by an uneducated hard working man (dispossessed from Europe) before WW2 started) and that was not yesterday, but in the early 1960's.
Nah! some bloke (been proven not to be Aboriginal at all) wrote a book some years ago claiming they did, cultivate crops built houses and farmed, but he has been rebuked as a fairy tale teller.
The Aboriginal only learnt to write and read at public schools if they attended, thy can thank the English that was taught at schools that they attended. Until then could not even develop a written language, no there is no written word at all. Please thank the white man for that.

Nobody owns this planet.
This is untrue, the Fist Fleet arrived on 18th January 1788, NOT 26th. Most Aboriginals died from the introduction of diseases such as measles, chickenpox the common cold as they had no immunity to anything.
Australia was under British rule until 26th January 1949. On this day Australia gained their independence from Britain, nothing to do with Captain Cook or the Fist Fleet which by the way arrived on 18th January 1788. It was NEVER an Invasion, there were no warships or army, just some British Soldiers, who beat and punished the convicts, who actually built many of the amenities and beautiful buildings, which we are so proud of.
they arrived in hostile country with absolutely no development of any kind and still living in the Stoneage.
Most of today’s aboriginals are also descendants of the British people. They have ELEVEN days and weeks to celebrate their ceremonies, we are sure, entitled to Just ONE. REMEMBER Australia Day is about 26th January 1949, NOT 1788. Stop teaching lies in our schools and universities. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺♥️♥️♥️

They hadn’t even invented a wheel..
@@Username-yt4mh They did not need the wheel to survive. They did not need the wheel to live in harmony with the natural resources that provided for their food and shelter. Look what the colonisers have done to the land. Destroyed it, for minerals under the ground, mismanaged vast areas of land, now the white people complain of global warming, climate change, bush fires. This is what happens when you destroy mother earth and the people that took care of it. Your time will come.
Thank you Palkinfor touching this controversy. The British did treat Indians very badly during colonial raj. However, that’s still nothing compared to what they did to Aboriginal Australians. They’re still treated so bad even today you can’t imagine. Most aboriginal people are still living like their ancestors did 300 years ago.
The ones whining about it have more European dna than aboriginal
Get your story right. Just like colonial India the British did many good things for Australia. They could have been colonialized by other nations and be far worse off today. Australia is a wonderful country with amazing people and we don’t want this divisive agenda anymore. We can’t rewrite history but we can change the future for our most vulnerable citizens. The Aboriginal people receive billions every year from Aussie tax payers. We have discovered of late that most of the money never gets to where it’s needed. I think this year you will see that change and better results will emerge. Education is the key, creating businesses on indigenous lands so there’s less reliance on the State. Family violence is a big problem along with drugs and alcohol and this importantly needs to be addressed so children feel safe in their own homes. We can make the future better and brighter. ❤
Do u understand "self interest", slave given clothes by masters not due to care or mersey they did because they feel ashamed when slaves moving naked in front of their guest,family,in market with them, everything in every colony created for sake of their own good,Is they ask for it,if not who gave ur ancestors right to invade their land & life,alter their life as they believe,and slaughter them , famous quote "if every justification accepted without reasoning then all crimes are justified "

True it was colonization....but the flipside is that Australia would still be living as aboriginals rather than living in a developed nation
Yes, but it wasn’t as if the colonists took over but got on well and respected the aborigines and their rights etc. They actually committed genocide on them. Colonisation by someone was inevitable, but we don’t have to celebrate some of the consequences of it.
@@petersanders2815do you know even one person that has actively outspoken their opinion that they celebrate genocide on Australia Day though? We celebrate how great a nation that we have become. There is a lot to be thankful for being born in this great country of ours. People make the celebration out to be way more negative than it is. Conversation about moving the date is pointless. If people want to help the less fortunate, then I commend you. But focusing on changing the date, changes absolutely nothing for the people who are really struggling in the outback communities. If you have great ideas about how to fix that mess, be my guest and get to it. I'm doing what I can in my own community and no-one here gives a shit about a date changing. I worked at a service station last year in a very low socio-economic area and no-one ever talked about it and no-one is counting down the days until this game-changing adjustment will happen, because it isn't going to have an affect on anybody who actually needs help in this community.
🇦🇺 Happy Australia Day 🇦🇺
Australia Day has nothing whatsoever to do with invasion or when the settlers got here. It is to celebrate when we became a nation in our own right and to celebrate all Australians as one people.
We became a nation at Federation on Jan 1 1901. That’s when we became a “ nation in our own right”, not when some pommy git planted a flag on a beach. Jan 26 is meaningless in terms of nationhood. Jan 1 is our Independence Day and should be celebrated as such.
Became a nation of Europeans very
Far from Home.. after literally wiping indigenous people who were referred to as part of the flora and fauna.. so your acestors could claim the land as not belonging to anyone.. This what Europeans did everywhere they went..watch some get very upset because they are too fragile for the hash truth about their history of conquest.. They get very offended when their true history of extermination is mentioned.. Just this weekend I was debating with a group of Western Europeans and they complain about how the "their countries are being invaded by migrants" as if they are the indigenous peoples of those lands..they dumped the owners of these lands in reservations in poverty and squalor whilst they enjoy the fat of the land.. they have their heads buried deep in the sand.. This counter invasion now.. are people reclaiming back part of their lands back.. Its people going to the West to share in their wealth and resources That the west has been raping and plundering for centuries.. When I am asked why i am in Europe as an African.. I answer without HESITATION that "I am here because you were there and you are still there raping and plundering our resources".. They grab world resources by any means necessary.. Why shouldn't we follow the loot?
They have been doing teh same for thousands of years ..... A bit slow on history lessons huh ?@@user-bm6jn9ls4n
lol. So what was your family celebrating every January 26th prior to 1994?? And what were the Aboriginal people doing on that same date since 1888? When you can answer that, you’ll figure how wrong you are and how illogical of a mindset the people who taught you what you think had
@user-qu6op5zl2f I was celebrating Australia Day with my aboriginal friends enjoying a nice kangaroo steak and a beer around a bonfire. If you must know.
26th January marks the day that Australia was brought out of the Stone Age and into the modern world.
Why is an arab Flag protesting Australia Day? from here you can understand who fueled the protest
With all due respect to the culture of the Aboriginal people of Australia, these protests are about political activism to extract more money from Australian tax payers, and the journalist (who I usually respect - she is the best news anchor in the world), is mis-inormed about systematic erradication of the aboriginal people and the early colonization of Australia (which would be Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, French, Dutch, Portugese or Spanish, if the English didn't arrive (with the intention of staying) first.
The british brought Law, order, hope and prosperity to Australia. Before then, there were only tribes that were practically living in the stone age, that didnt speak the same language and seldom got along.
How primitive and uneducated you are , to believe that. Nevermind, us First Nations people acknowledge your pitiful lack of knowledge of history. It's not your fault. You don't know any better.
so they were less delveloped than the invaders so what? they did not deserve some rights? they were less human being? according to u the brits had rights to invade others land or home? gtfo
Cut the crap. British Empire is well known for genocide and oppression of natives all around the world Every country British went was too loot and plunder. The London museum proudly displays the loot by theft and savagery.
Australia own official records state at least 40 men, women and children were killed on 26th Jan, but other historians suggest hundreds of Aboriginal people died that day.
The research project, currently in its eighth year and led by University of Newcastle historian Emeritus Professor Lyndall Ryan, now estimates more than 10,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lives were lost in more than 400 massacres, up from a previous estimate of 8,400 in 302 massacres.
Ofcourse today's Britishers are not responsible for crimes of the past but do acknowledge the crimes that were committed.
And by the way the numbers in India are 160 millions via murder, wars, or artificial famine To give you better perspective that is 27 times of Jews murdered by Nazis.
So get down of your high moral ground because no one in the world had more innocent blood on their hands than British.

Life is unfair.
Australia achieved full sovereignty from the UK on a progressive basis. On 1 January 1901, the British Parliament passed legislation allowing the six Australian colonies to govern in their own right as part of the Commonwealth of Australia.
So why don't they celebrate 1st January?
Celebrating the conquest of one's own country is either a mental slavery or colonialism never left Australia!
Down with ENGLAND
On this date they did not land on our shores. Its the date they signed Australia to be part of the commonwealth
Nope. It's the date the UN treaty for AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP was signed. The day the Australian Commonwealth lost it's Sovereignty in total to foreign interest.
Sick of these Professional Whiners! Our native population have had full civil rights for 56 years now! Haven't these dropkicks that we call politicians realised that if they cave in, no matter what day they pick, someone will whine about it? No country has a perfect record when it comes to these matters. At least we try! There is I think a case for celebrating our native culture, perhaps in June on the anniversary of the historic referendum! Also as a public holiday . Food for thought. As far as I'm concerned the Professional Moaners can leave the country!

Reason why I raised that question by analyzing the entire global history we had invasions. During each period we had ups and downs. So the real question remains do Australians need to make a fuss on what happens long time back or look forward as one nation and move forward?
You need to look that what happened to the Aborigines . They had a healthy existence prior to being slaughtered oppressed and culled. Would you call that advancing as a race ? Europeans advanced via Guns, Steel and Disease
Happy Australia day
Imagine 4 % trying to change 96% of your Country 😂😂
Countries have been invaded and conquered throughout history, unfortunately and tragically often violently, however nothing will change history, and certainly bashing down and defacing statues won’t change anything. Historical monuments should serve as a reminder for us not to repeat the injustices of the past. It is a little ironic though that millions of people from previously colonised countries are now trying to get into the countries that colonised them. Why is that? Take for example my home country of Zimbabwe. Government stooges can blame the West all they want for their demise, but when they got independence they had chance to really move forward, but they haven clung onto power at all costs and have chased far too many well qualified professional Zimbabweans (black and white) from all walks of life, out of Zimbabwe - and to countries, like Britain, America and Australia, who in this modern era, despite the past, welcome them into their countries, for the expertise in their various professions they have to offer.
Native Australia gives vibe of Santana Dharma ❤
Why don't they deal with the Aboriginals instead of accusing other invented nations about which they have no idea?
Mai smjh skta hu Australians pe kya bit rhi hai, apna desh aapke saath hai...nikaal feko bahari jado ko...apne sanskriti ko lehrao...love from Bharat
bahut der ho gaee. ham yahaan un laakhon bhaarateeyon ke saath rahane ke lie aae hain jo ab ostreliya ko apana ghar kahate hain.
Not possible Australia is all about British
Finally world is rising to revive their native Culture ,and identity
But the question is still same that is they are worship native god of still following invaders 's god ?
There was over 500 tribes in Australia when the British settled, with almost as many different languages. There was no uniform religion across the country. At least that hasn't changed. You can believe whatever you want.
They worshiped fighting, stealing, abusing their women and children, cannibalism! They have no gods, they never evolved! Many Christian groups have tried to help and educate them!
@@tsubadaikhan6332 believing a others believe means your next will again become preacher pf invaders
Thing about other countries they like to bag Australia, talk bad about it.
Tell me a perfect country?
It is one of the best countries in the world if not why does everyone from around the world come to live here?
Invasion day was just a ship not cannons firing and soldiers coming out and shooting no that is untrue.
If it wasn't the British it would have been either the French, Portuguese and Spanish.
Through the time yes good and bad but that being said the Aboriginals are being looked after with welfare benefits from the government. Some make bad decisions and blame it on colonization.
The Aboriginals were nomads and were fighting with each other they were not all as one, people need to realize this.
There is acknowledgment and recognition to the Aboriginals, there also looked after with health as well.
Many Aboriginals like Australia day some do not, even if you change the day 26th of January for some Aboriginals it will still be labeled as "Invasion Day" It is not going to make a difference.
People will not celebrate it. This is a difference. Imagine that there are people in their right mind celebrating the day of the invasion of people People celebrate independence, not occupation
@@Domi-th3bj 1901 is the date we separated from Britain and became our own country
Such a silly commentary. There would be no Australia before this supposed invasion.
Is they ask for it,if not who gave ur ancestors right to invade their land & life,alter their life as they believe,and slaughter them , famous quote "if every justification accepted without reasoning then all crimes are justified "
What day should they change it to?
Most of us don't really care what day they change it to. If it upsets some folk, it should be changed.
But if they try to take a holiday off us, there'll be a bloody riot!
@@tsubadaikhan6332
If it ain't bruk don't fux it !!
No matter what day they move it to, there is always going to be some one whom disagrees, leave it as is I say and I will defend the right to it!
Which is the million dollar question no one can answer with any kind of consensus.
They can change it to any date but don't include us we Australians will stick to the 26th
It was church who directed who directed to discover unknown land & kill/convert indegineous people.
Even Portugeese did the same in Goa & even today conversion missionary nexus running across globe.
That's what you get for yelling: "give them back their land!" (while ignoring thousands of years of Jews living in the area or the fact most of the jews there are from the surrounding arab nations who kicked them out)
But when Aboriginals are calling them out, they're like: "woah woah I thought we good now" 😅
Fak palestine! Why is there a flag there
Australia Day will always be on 26th always was always will be that’s history and they can protest as much as they like 👍
It’s a wrong stupid exaggerated protests and movement, those colonizers made Australia heaven , and i m from iraq by the way , British colonialism of iraq made us developed, even American entery in iraq in 2003 has a positive side that will be visible more with time .
Before invasion Iraq had more than $35 Billion Dollars as a national reserve in World Bank, by the time war was over Iraq was under Debt of $2 billion. Say Thanks to America.
Is they ask for it,if not who gave ur ancestors right to invade their land & life,alter their life as they believe,and slaughter them , famous quote "if every justification accepted without reasoning then all crimes are justified "
What a big lie lol 😂
Don't you feel sad for the people who died because of the occupation? + Iraq was originally developed country
Its not fucking heaven for vulnerable people and Aboriginal people. Australia is a neoliberal post-colonial country right now.
With regards to Iraq; its great that Saddam Hussein's regime was destroyed, but Britain treated Iraqis like shit when they colonised them.
Australia day❤
Always was always will be Australia
The situation was different in Indian vs Australia.
When the British came to India, there was already a civilization with literature, philosophy, written language, metallurgy... In Australia, there were only savages.
Savages that loved their culture and didn't mind living in it. Who gave white people the right to destroy that? Not every civilization is meant to be like the west. Why can't colonizers accept this.
How can you say that people are savage when you have not lived through that period?
@@Domi-th3bj Why? Simply because they left little to the present day. No written history, not iron or bronze, no medicine, no science... In 40,000 years they accomplished very little. Not their fault, this is a harsh continent and salute to them for surviving.
@@calvinmasters6159 They were occupied, even if there was something. Do you think that an occupier would leave something he did not even leave people alive, let alone their heritage?
There is a lot of heritage that was burned due to the occupation
@@Domi-th3bj "did not even leave people alive"... So who are the aboriginals today, imposters? 😄
There's museums with plenty of their relics, and there are still aboriginals who live their old lifestyle today. You're funny.
It wasn’t conquest, it was settlement. It took Aboriginals out of the Stone Age. It is only a minority of political extremists that believe this rubbish. As an Australian, I think your commentary was basically rubbish.

Perhaps England could apologize for looking for a big island to drop off prisoners.
Could this action be compared to el salvador creating a mega prison for 12,000 gang member criminals?
Killing indegenous people is not a good thing.
To people criticising and/or making fun of people protesting Australia Day, how the fuck does it equally represent everyone when it celebrates colonialism that almost destroyed Aboriginal people?
Australia day 🇦🇺
Wonder why so many people leave India
Get a job
Captain cook first land in Australia 29th April 1770. First fleet arrived 18th of january 1788. Australia day is actual is for the day the Australian citizenship act. meaning we were no longer british subjects and had Australian passports. The invasion day movement has grown from a small protesting over land rights for money and control of that money gained from mining and farming activities. Read up on why a aboriginal flag was made early 1970's the copy right ownership and then recently the clothing rights royalty money mess. Than forced the government to step in and buy the flag and pay out and compensate the T shirt company that had clothing rights over the flag. Costing the Australian taxpayer 24 million dollars. Aboriginals make up about 1 million people in the 27 million population of Australia and of that there some estimates that up to 400 thousand maybe falsely claiming aboriginal ancestry to benefit from the two tier welfare system that provides a higher rate of welfare for aboriginal people. Aboriginals also have their own communities land councils and a ministers in parliament a state and federal level. The Australian government spends twice as much per aboriginal person than the rest of its citizens. Over 20 thousand more person. The budget giving out for the various aboriginal land management groups is 40 billion per year on top of that these land groups receive hundreds of millions from private company's land owners and large corporates in rights to use land and mining royalties. To cut this short there is a lot this but mostly about claims for a treaty for reparations and more control and will not help the average to poorest aboriginal in our communities but a wealth and power grab by the already rich and elite class of aboriginal. There are similar percentage of people from Indian decent as there are aboriginal in Australia. It is thought through DNA that aboriginals are descendants from Tamils who crossed the land bridge when Australia was connected to Asia. Always a lot more to a story than one side and as usual money power and a greed are the drivers hiding behind curtain of human rights or past injustice. I ask you why are these protests about treaty and incarceration rates and never mention the abuse suffered today by the poorest and most vulnerable aboriginals the woman and children. Look those figures up and who is inflicting this abuse and decide if it the was arrival of the colony over two century's ago.
Well I'm a local Aussie and i can understand why the aboriginal community call Australia day invasion day ,people should take note if by chance we were invaded by a foreign country today we all would be calling it invasion day our selves so take a step back and think about it .its a big issue and its going to take a lot of time but as a country we should be able to agree on this fact .im no brain surgeon but i do think we have to come up with a reasonable idea for all Australians no matter where we originated from .i think deep down the aboriginal community would just like a fair and reasonable opportunity to make there lives and culture to be excepted by all Australians and for the British government to apologise for there role in the invasion in the first place .along with the religious organisations that also effected aboriginal culture across the country.
You are beautiful 🙏🏼
the minorities should find their voice, am against violence, so its best if Australian majority recognises and corrects the damage.
That were NOT systematically eradicated, if that were the case then there would be no ancestors to mourn!
Australias and indias history looks same..
Indians have the same DNA haplo group as the skeleton found in the archaeological excavation of the remains from India Valley civilisation. Try harder to find something else😂😂😂
Our Australian prime minister is trying to divide the Country.
The Australian Aboriginal Monarch lives secretly and quietly in Queensland Australia
Come down under to Parramatta next year to celebrate Australia 🇦🇺 and India 🇮🇳 flags flying side by side because both are on the 26th January we include everyone the Indigenous people start the day at 6.00 am at Sydney
I am Australian and I love my country !!!! It was born on the 26th Jan and NO ONE has the right to change it !!!! Look at what these people have gained, $42 billion a dollar a year from majority white payers !!!! What happened back in the day when all of this was ALLOWED !!!! Oh by the way Aborigines own 55% of Australia !!!! Colonization was the best thing that ever happened !!!!
Australian Aboriginals and Torres Straight Islanders are certainly denirated. As we know, the British did some good things, but the bad has to be addressed.
It's chaos what's happening in the world status quo is breaking and more chaos is ashore.
Soon whole world will be plunging back to dark ages and soon all will be back to the rule of "might is right" and most violent will win.
Age of reason will be gone in few years. Peaceful majority will surrender to hateful violent minority.
This is how Armageddon (प्रलय) begins. May lord विष्णु save it again.🙏
Britain owes so much to the world that it would go bankrupt if it started reparations 😄
They weren't Nations
America did the same with native red Americans and celebrate their invasion as thanksgiving, they're still living in extreme poverty in US and they are nowhere in US mainstream and often this native people faces racism over cultural differences.
Newsflash buddy, Aboriginals are fully equal Australians and, unlike American Indians, they are fully funded by all our Taxpayers! They will never die of poverty here unless they chose to! 😠
If BBC is truly liberal then they should give front page coverage for this movement. 🤝👍
What movement, nobody there had any legitimate reason for marching and the majority were professional protesters who do not even care about Australia!
Maybe the BJP can also discuss Aryan invasion or mass migration, possibly compensation for the people in the south. Without European settlement there would no Australia.
The lady claims Indigenous Australians only comprise 4% of the population as they were "systematically eradicated"......well, 4% would be over a million people compared to the estimated 250,000-500,000 upon arrival in 1788 so it would seem their populations have more than doubled since the "invasion". Additionally, most Indigenous died of smallpox, influenza, and measles. This channel is very misinformed.
An estimated seventy thousand people were killed by police troopers Thousands more were murdered by settlers.
Sorry it is you that is misinformed. How do you think smallpox, influenza and measles got to Australia? Europeans brought it with them from Europe. That is what happened in South America as well
So it wasn’t through genocide. It was because abos didn’t have antibodies to fight disease. What do you expect from a group whose only achievement is a bent stick.
@@49phoenix "Systematically eradicated" suggests a deliberate act by the settlers to wipe them out. There is zero evidence of that. That's like saying the country that AIDS originated in tried to do the same. Shameful reporting.
@@49phoenix Well duh! Obviously🙄 My point is, it wasn't intentional. Feel free to prove otherwise.
On the same day, 17 thousand people became Australian citizens 😊. From 14 different countries to ad to the 195 different cultures that make up Australia 🇦🇺. the aboriginal protesters are cherry-picking history. On many occasions, the soldiers were used to separate different tribes. On at least one occasion, 45 aboriginal people were murdered by other Aboriginals, which included women and children. The aboriginal people were nomadic tribes and competed for food and shelter. Yesterday's protesters had aboriginal invasion day, free Palestine, just stop oil,climate protesters, and neo natzi supremersy, the destruction of public spaces is not accepted, if you have ever been to Australia, you would notice just how clean public spaces are 😊,
Bad news coverage you only shown one side of the debate.
So India should learn.
Don't act like the new colonial master that takes over the British place.
You should not continue to rule border areas previously colonized by the British 😮😮
