  • The Institute of Public Affairs’ Mia Schlicht explains how the silent majority is not so silent anymore! 69 per cent of Australians have declared Australia Day should be celebrated on the 26th of January.
    In the recent past, every January, Australians have needed to endure the handwringing and navel-gazing of the self-appointed thought leaders and elites demanding we think of the reasons to be ashamed of Australia. No more.
    It is clear that mainstream Australians have had a gutful of this attitude and being put upon by the elites. They know Australia is the greatest nation on earth, that our way of life and freedoms are the envy of the world, and that they must be cherished and celebrated.
    Encouragingly, the poll showed a jump in support for Australia Day from 18-24-year-olds, up 10 per cent to 52 per cent.

Plus, we’re not responsible for what our ancestors did. You’ll hardly find a full blooded indigenous person anyway! So why should we change it. No matter what date it gets changed to it still will probably be not good enough for the indigenous community!! Sick of this rubbish!!

      A typical example of believing the BS the IPA feeds you. Jan 26 wasn't finally gazetted as Australia Day nationally until 1993. There's no history here. It's just the date pedo cabin boy fidler Cook claimed Oz was terra nullius, uninhabited. Then he ordered that a native be shot so he could gift the British museum a spear and a shield with a bullet hole in it. I think most reasonable Australians realise there is nothing to celebrate here.

    I think the Australians who continue to think January 26th is an appropriate date need to get educated why it isn’t.
    I am a proud Australian who trace descendants back to the 1840s. I spent 50+ years celebrating Australia Day on January 26th without any insight as to what that date means to Indigenous Australians. Now I know about generational trauma, the history of Sorry Day and Day of Mourning, I can’t go back. I love Australia, but a day to celebrate what makes this country great for everyone who lives here should not be tainted by its negative impact on the original inhabitants of this land.
    Celebrate Federation Day or make up a new date, just change this date. To be fair we haven’t been celebrating it long anyway.

    I’m all for Australia Day - always have been. I hate any politicisation of divisive issues to serve one’s own agenda or aggrandisement.
    What I find curious here is the repeated references to the opinion of younger Australians - 25-30 and 30-40 years of age brackets. This seems to be seen as positive in this context because it supports an IPA position. However, the majority of younger Australians, and younger citizens more broadly across western societies, absolutely do kit support Israel, absolutely do support creation of a Palestinian state, and absolutely want to stop the Gaza holocaust, and yet their collective opinion on that subject is ignored, denigrated, or blatantly oppressed.
    Consistency and authenticity are the currency of the future, and governments and think tanks alike (incl. the IPA) need to adhere to these principles if they want to remain relevant to “the silent majority”.
    Genocide is wrong; having to explain and justify why genocide is wrong and must be stopped means there are serious problems with our society.

      The first ever Australia Day was held on 30 July 1915 as a fundraiser for World War 1.
