Maybe the protesters should go out to some of our rural indigenous communities and Protest some of the things that happen out there! More important things than changing a date .
Exactly. Instead of yelling and waving flags in the city they should volunteer to help the indigenous communities and question why the fundings does not reach the people.
Yes, very little has improved for those women and children even though we give them billions each year for this! These professional whingers are based in Melbourne and Sydney, it's obvious they are not working for their people!

But "I have to pay my gas, my electricity and my food ya know" 😅 Me too and everyone else here, that doesn't live with mum or dad... It's called get a JOB 👍
I personally don't care what day we celebrate Australia Day, if they want to change it to feel better or feel included than so be it. But, we all know that even if we changed to a "suitable" date, those same people protesting will find another reason to not celebrate.
@@petethundabox5067 that is when I would like it changed to. The name Australia was first put down by Mathew Flinders on a map he drew in 1807, a few decaedes after Cook and nearly 20 years after the first fleet. The first action that made us a nation was the Federation Act of 1901… So the first time we were Australia was 01/01/1901 and that is why we should celebrate it then… We could have a 2 day party from New Years Eve to New Years Day and have the Australia Day public holiday on the 2nd… What even is the 26th? As if they know that’s the day they planted a flag and I never remember it growing up, 1994 was the first time.. I know for the whingers it was before they were born, that’s why they either think it is evil, or are so attached to it as they think it has always been.
wouldnt stop the bs... they finally showed their hand this year, they werent protesting the date, they were protesting australia. morons dont know how good they have it!@@byza101
jan 26 1949 was when all australians were declared citizens of australia instead of britain. its got nothing to do with the first fleet (which landed on jan 18) and we were still british citizens in 1901. this whole debate is full of lies, they dont understand or care about the date, they jusy want to protest our country, so they can all F off!@@byza101
It doesn’t matter what day is picked as Australian day there is always some group somewhere that will feel offended by it….a lot of weak minded people are living in western countries….
As a Aboriginal elder I disagree ❤️💛🖤 people like you putting post up like this creates negativity towards the day is sad "celebration of country "👍is the right name for Australia Day 🎉🌈💓💯
Excellent Jamie! Truth about 26/1. Captain Cook did not arrive in Australia on the 26th January. He landed on 28th April 1770. And the first fleet arrived in Botany Bay on 18th January. On 26th January 1949, the Australian nationality came into existence, when the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 was enacted. That was the day we were first called Australians and allowed to travel with passports as Australians and NOT British subjects. In 1949 therefore, we all became Australian citizens under the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948. Before that special date, all people living in Australia, including Aborigines, were called ‘British Subjects’ and forced to travel on British passports and fight in British wars. This is why we celebrate Australia Day on the 26th January. Australians became free to make our own decisions. This Nationality and Citizenship Act of 1948, in 1949 gave Aboriginal Australians the full protection of Australian Law. Until this date, Aborigines were not protected by law.
You missed some key details. The first fleet arrived at Botany Bay on the 18th January, but deemed it unsuitable, so they moved and arrived at Sydney Cove on 26th January 1788. Arthur Phillip began the colony and this date was celebrated sporadically throughout the 19th century in NSW as the anniversary of colonisation. Then in the late 1930s, all states decided to celebrate the same day, BEFORE the 1948 Act you mention. There is evidence that Australia Day was celebrated AND protested BEFORE 1948 & 1949, so it is clear that Australia Day celebrates the colonisation. Stop twisting history to make yourself feel better about celebrating.
@Wesda voted no and wipe my ass on the abo flag. Boongs should be happy they live past 40. The one of the many virtues of colonisation. Like the land youtube was created on so you can virtue signal in the comments
With the diversity of the people that are called Australians, as a Aboriginal elder how about calling it A celebration of Australia, for being such a beautiful country celebrate this country and also I was also adopted out totally brought up white and feeling black but living in the past is not moving forward in my opinion ❤️💛🖤
Amen. The meaning of Australia Day has changed over the years. It's no longer about the past, but about the many people that now call Australia home. People from all sorts of different backgrounds, and celebrating that
I’m roughly quarter indigenous. I only found at when I met my dad at the age of 17. But yea anyway grew up as just an Aussie. I’m 27 now and have always been against the Illuminati and stuff like that. I want peace. And it sucks because I really hate what happened to the aboriginals here. But just like the last guy on the video. I want us all to be unified. I go to the park on Australia Day for a family event the town put on for everyone. As soon as I get there someone at the car park calls me a white C. Then I was like what do you want. He chose to not fight me and just driving off yelling stuff. I also was getting my 3 kids out of the car when this was happening. It was the only reason why I didn’t rush them. But yea I was thinking like bro I’m on your bloody side. I wish we can all put our Hatred and energy into fighting our corrupt government and other mad entities in our lives. If anyone read this to the end sorry for my shocking grammar. My message is don’t forget how we felt as a child. Don’t forget how good this country was 20 years ago. Wasn’t perfect but put people were a lot happier and united as one. Try your best everyone to improve your family lives. And do your best in the community. I can’t talk I’m shocking. But I’m trying. peace !

Australia Day doesn’t celebrate colonisation, what a crock. It actually celebrates the day that Australians became Australians and no longer British Subjects. The Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 was enacted on the 26th January 1949. This meant that Aussies no longer had to fight in British wars and could travel on Australian passports. Until this date, Aborigines were not protected by law. For the first time since Captain Cook's landing this new Act gave Aboriginal Australians the full protection under Australian Law. If the argument is about Captain Cook, then I hate to burst the bubble, but he didn’t land until April 28th 1770…..NOT January 26…..,too many people have been fed bs like the mushrooms that they are, the government won’t correct it, as it helps them create division.
@@Alex-tu9bh Agreed, they have already stated that if they changed the date, they would protest that date. The bottom line is, they don’t want an Australia Day at all. Thank god they are a minority.
The date the first fleet landed was the 19th in Botany Bay, the settlement was relocated to Sydney Cove on the 26th. Why that isn’t taught in schools is beyond me. The “Invasion day” line is not a valid argument.

That lady who said “we shouldn’t be here” okay then what are you doing here if you are so against this country? All these protestors you can clearly see the ungrateful attitudes towards what they have been given. They wouldn’t be saying any of this if they were living in a third world country.
Everyone that’s protesting should make a trip to Alice springs for a week . Maybe it would open up there eyes up a little bit, don’t think you’ll find many aboriginals up that way having a problem with Australia Day. As I believe they have a lot more things to worry about then just Australia Day…
@@Kangawallapossumbat just like with any group of people there are those who do and also don't. That also goes for the aboriginal people if you want to collectivise them in this kind of way.

Any western NSW rural town has the same problems. Yet it all gets swapped under the rug and the perpetrators get a slap on the wrist because of the face card. I've met so many elders who desperately want their youth to wake up to themselves but according to the youth, who listen to too much gangster rap they are already "woke" Australia day is the day we became independent from Britain. Not the day captain Cook "invaded" you idiots
Another amazing real Australian issue dealt with such maturity and poise. Well done Jamie. It honestly scares me when I see young people protesting for things they have no idea about. We need better education for such kids. They need to understand and make concessions decisions on matters. Or else with time they will be manipulated easily.

Basically only after 2016. If you search for information about Australia day protest videos before 2016, nothing comes up. American politics and divisiveness has leeched into Australian culture from chronically online losers. Back in the day they used to incite violence by running up on those celebrating ruclips.net/video/txvcwdGjSvg/видео.html. Go to google trends and compare 'australia day parade' vs 'australia day protest' and set the time interval from 2005 to now. There are your answers.
It's been protested since the start. The 1st Australia Day was 1935, and the 1st official protests were 1938. There will always be protests while it stays Jan 26.
I'd love to understand their position more, but hearing people say things like "I'm a descendant from the first fleet, we shouldn't be here" - but proceeding to.. stay here, really confuses me.
he barely spoke to any blakfulla’s and the people he talked to that are against australia day were in the middle of protesting. not to mention hearing a few blatant lies from the people celebrating which were just left in the video. i’m honestly disappointed in this video i thought i would actually hear some proper points from both sides.
@@irlcheyenne for sure, I don't celebrate it (but I don't even celebrate my birthday). However I'm not against celebrating it either. Totally neutral. The against it side seem to say things like 'we shouldn't be here, but that's not a logical statement because what's happened has happened. I'd love to hear some logical conversations between both parties about how as a country we can move forward
@@irlcheyenneto say you need more money when indigenous support is one of the biggest welfare in our national budget is absurd bro. Literally millions and millions of dollars are given to aboriginal communities and families.
"changing the date to promote inclusivity"... LOL Maybe leave if you're so triggered with a country celebrating its national day. I hear the Middle East is nice this time of year.
Or anywhere where there are REAL problems, like the struggling outback communities, Africa, Middle East, Ukraine, etc! Noone is really suffering like this in Sydney or Melbourne! 🤨

Cool so he was a coercionist and believed in the idea of might makes right and strength in numbers like every coward in existence ever. It is so because you say so and made it so is hardly logical!
It's a day to celebrate the country we have to appreciate all we have on the great island and to experience life with the ppl around us. If it wasn't from Captain Cook none of these great things would be here on this fortunate land we won't even be here.
I am Australian this is my land too. I don't have to apologise for being here. Absolute absurdity. Wokeness is a runaway train with no brakes driving society off a cliff.

Australia Day began on 26 January 1949 when the 1948 Passport Act was passed by the Australian Government and People living in Australia became Australian Citizens... no more, no less
Yes NO INVASION happened on THAT DAY - we pay for their education, why don't they know these facts? Cook was already dead before the first fleet was sent! Before the UK, the Dutch actually invaded most of Australia with armed sailors and claimed/named it first!
As much as I think we should not change the date. This is actually wrong. Yes, 1948 passport act was on Australia Day, but Australia Day had been celebrated nationwide since 1935

7:08 Bloke says "no one understands what the days about" and says we achieved "independence from the UK" on 26th January. This is completely wrong. Firstly Australia is not fully independent, we are still a constitutional monarchy under the British crown. Secondly, I'm guessing he is referring to the federation of all states on 1st of January 1901, NOT the 26th.

I don’t actually believe we celebrate Australia Day because of captain cook, that bloke didn’t come around to Australia till 19th of April 1770. We actually celebrate Australia because of the 1948 Australian Citizens Act; “All Australian-born and other British subjects resident in Australia for the five years prior to 26 January 1949 were automatically Australian citizens. Anyone born in Australia on or after that date was automatically an Australian citizen. The Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 came into effect on 26 January 1949, creating Australian citizenship for the first time.” This precious piece of information has been lost to time, and shadowed by Captain cooks landing in 1788 with the first fleet. It’s a painful coincidence that their dates Aline with each other, Both events happened on the 26th of January.
You realise because of cook the colonies wouldn't have known about the country. I celebrate our great nations day because of cook. Without him we won't be alive, everything this great island have is because captain cook founded him.
@@Nifty-shotZ he was under orders to find the great southern land (terra australis) and observe the passing of venus… Where these idiots get the idea he was behind genocide is beyond me.
Do these people not know how much land is under native title?? All these people protesting to dismantle the modern society they live in wouldn't even have been notified of the march via their technology or had roads to march on, flags to wave if Australia wasn't colonized... or someone other than the English Would have colonized it & they may not have had the right to even protest.
The First Fleet originally arrived in Australia at Botany Bay on January 18, 1788. The fleet consisted of 11 ships, carrying over 1400 people, including 700 convicts. The majority of the convicts were male, but there were also around 200 women and children

I’m white and agree with the indigenous lady, the government should give us all more money I’ve gotta pay gas too. Australia Day is for all Australians. 🇦🇺
I actually like this video because it shows both sides of the story from everyday Aussies without politicians or the media trying to dictate the message we get. I am a history teacher and I always start the year off with discussing the Australia Day debate with year 5 and 6 students because they are at the age where they start to form their own opinions on current events. Wish I could show them this but language is inappropriate. However, the content and idea behind the video is very honest and relevant
There’s more important issues happening in Australia now the cost of living inflation rental crisis homelessness crime yet we worry about a stupid date or stupid republic or a stupid voice to parliament we are so woke in this country worry about our own country not the rest of the world
Yes, interesting how this covers up our real problems, massive debts and struggling taxpayers, floods and excess immigration! And, do those people actually care that there are real starving and deprived communities in Africa, and the Middle East, wars going on?
@@jenniferharrison8915 overseas issues like famine and wars is bad but with all our issues that we have in Australia right now they must be dealt with first before Australia helps the rest of the world when we sort our issues out then we can look to help Africa or Palestine or Ukraine
@@anthonymasluk2295 Completely agree, this issue is not one of them, how dare they!! WE the other 270 taxpaying cultures need to demand our rights in this democracy to be counted and heard first! And, I hope Penny Wrong is paying Palestinian activists out of her own money, because WE didn't authorise that!
There needs to be more acknowledgement of the WAR which happened here. The whole world acknowledges and grieves with holocaust survivors. But here the genocide if Aboriginal people has stopped, but the widespread hatred has continued 💔
I just don't understand why they needed to merge the Palestinian issue with Australia Day. That one guy didn't even know what Australia Day was! He's clearly not Australian, and shouldn't even get a say! We have such a beautiful and rich First Nations culture, the oldest on the earth, which we should be proud of -- so if we're going to have these discussions, don't water it down with other nation's issues. Palestinian issues are important to talk about, but not here. Don't group our Aboriginal and TorresStrait islander people with Hamas. Don't do that. Unpopular opinion: Colonisation was a net positive. Aboriginal people have a better quality of opportunity here now, whether they choose to live in the cities as a part of the west, or in the bush or regional communities, as they originally did. Their communities are in turmoil right now not because of lack of funding or opportunity, but because of their mismanagement of resources and weak parenting strategies to rebelling youth. Their identity can still exist, although weaker, as connected to the land. Christianity needed to arrive to Australia. The British colonisation was better than the Portuguese or Spanish, otherwise we would not have aboriginal people today, as they would've been wiped out.
Massacres, water pollution, devastating wildfires, suicides, stolen generations, race, language erasure, cultural erasure, depression, drug abuse and deaths in custody aren't net positives. Palestinians had their land invaded and stolen, so did Aboriginal Australians. Time for you read some bloody history.
A lot of of aboriginal people from all tribes in Australia have had a significant loss. Some tribes were completely wiped out. There's not one full blood aboriginal person alive today because of colonisation.
@@ex_orpheus1166 they did try to wipe out the aboriginal race. There are so many massacre sites and sacred places here. Aboriginal people are still struggling today.
If you are aboriginal you would feel the hurt. Stolen generation only ended in the 80's. So not that long ago. Some remote towns are 60 or so years old.
That happened to the native people of America too they were almost wiped out and their language were dying out because their ancestors children were forced into going to school that forbidden them from speaking their mother tongue equals their own language.
1.48. she just learnt what happened and decided to join the march I do hope who ever educated here let her no the 26 th of Jan is not the so called invasion day. Also the lady with the shades says the government should just give em more money well most of us don't put our hands out expecting more money we get a job and retire on our savings.
The first celebration of Australia day on January 26 was in 1994. Prior to that noone celebrated Australia Day on January 26th. Australia didn’t become Australia until 1901, when federation was established
Not true... was first celebrated in 1836 by way of politicians and dignitaries meeting for dinners to celebrate the Foundation Day as it was called back then. In 1838, an annual boat race was first hosted on that day also to celebrate, and continues to this day.
The real Australia Day is the last Friday in. Started as a way to raise money and equipment for the troops. The real flag of our forefathers is the red duster ,6 pointed star . The blue maritime corporation flag is the blue is not the de jure flag of the commonwealth of Australia, lest we forget.
Professional protesters, people without interesting lives, international activists and serial joiners - fascinating Aboriginal rights protest, NOT! The most important interview was with the Grandma, she was happy to be removed from her abusive family and given a decent life start, but she joined the protest because she wants more money - that at least is honest and totally expected! 😵🧐🙄

There are massacre sites of Aboriginal people all over the Australian countryside. There is never monuments or acknowledgement of what happened. Usually just a paddock 😢😢😢
we have a Dark past yes agreed what happen was sad, i wont say forget the past but i will say that Australia Day if you want to celebrate you celebrate, if you dont feel like its right to celebrate then dont as sad as that may be to say. Australia Day is for everyone as i said dont forget what happened but as someone in the video said we have a dark past but there are also other places in the world that have a dark past aswell, we are celebrating the country not what happened. we do need to move forward we can move forward and remember the past.
Ir is ok to have different opinions about Australia Day, but going around vandalizing private property that is not right. It is a day to spend time with family friends and do fun activities. People are not going around celebrating that Aboriginals got killed by invaders. What are we going to do if the great grandparents were Europeans migrated to Australia, people are born here, and already judged for being European dependent. People need to learn to move on instead of holding grudges. A world full of hate just can't advance.
It won’t matter what day it is it’ll still cause drama it’s what we’re celebrating that’s the issue… we see it as celebrating Australia as a country indigenous people see it as invasion day

Cronulla brought a bunch of rednecks decked out in Union Jacks who don’t even know what day Australia became a country (hint it wasn’t the 26th of January)
7:10 actually the day he might be referring to is when we became a Federation which is 1st of January 1901. January 26th 1788 was when the boats for the first fleet arrived on Botany Bay. Invasion Day, Australia Day whatever you want to call it we need to keep it, to remind us of Before settlement & after settlement which has affected all members of modern Australia.
Although I disagree with keeping it, you are correct, the guy doesn't understand what the day actually means, it was the beginning of colonisation in 1788 by Gov Arthur Phillip
no guys, youre dead wrong. jan 26 1949 was when the people of australia (all ethnicities, including aboriginal) were declared citizens of australia, not britain. that is why its australia day, and that is why we wont be changing it for the sake of the ignorant minority!
Doesn't matter what day you change the date to because there will still be the hateful few who don't want it at all so you will never please everyone with this issue so just keep it
This is going to happen every year, just change the date to 13th Feb when K Rudd did his apology and let that be the date we celebrate union between all cultures in Aus. Most people only want a day off in the summer so this helps.
7:10 “Australia Day is the day we got our independence from the UK” - WTF is he smoking? Jan 26 was the colonisation from the UK, you could say Jan 1 1901 was the day we became a country even though we were still under British colonialism. March 3 1986 with the passing of the Australia Act is a bit more appropriate for independence or the day if/when we become a Republic. But January 26th certainly isn’t “the day Australia became independent”
I used to attend the invasion day rallies because I truly believe we can find a better day to celebrate, and I'd consider myself a centrist. but gradually more and more of the anti-israel sentiment came into the fold, there was no way I could walk along side these ignorant people chanting intifada. People that think the Palestinian and indigenous Australian causes are the same need a history lesson, watching these middle class uni students crawl into these rallies wearing keffeyeh makes me dry reach bile
True, and it's technically not independent, we are still a constitutional monarchy under the British. Old mate Charles still has the power to kick out the PM if he wants to.
Well im aboriginal and i think this whole situation is aweful i got sad watching this😔 i believe in jesus christ our saviour and in heaven there is no culture we are all equal....what they did to our people years ago is very sad...i personally got no one to blame but the enemy/devil, he use people to cause all this chaos in the world...why not forgive and all live in peace and try to show love to one another...coz at the end of the day this all belongs to GOD ALMIGHTY 🙏🕊️❤️ i love use and i hope we all can come to an understanding
You ask those people what date they would like to pick and you will not get the answer. It is an occasion for all activist to protest different causes. For me invasion day could be 22 August when Cook discovered Australia or 7th February when British empire declared Australia part of British empire.

To me the real irony is that hamas which is a moslem group,have nothing in common with aboriginal culture,in fact Islam is against most things in aboriginal culture ,for instance animals that are spirit totems,sacred rocks ,sacred trees etc,all condemned by Islam ,oil and water
As an Aboriginal Australian do I care about the date no not really its not gonna change the past. I rather they make a black history month like they do in US to understand why they wanna change the date though...gives aussies who do not know Aboriginal history a chance to understand the impacts of colonisation. You cant deny the history of what happened to Aboriginal Australians in this country. Also im not looking to spread hate or division but rather educate and understanding from one culture to another...
more aboriginal celebrations/protests 🤦♂️ are you trying to make our country look embarrassing? Are you trying to make our country go backwards? It deeply saddens me that the Australian government and people across Australia follow so blindly into the trap! So please stop supporting since the government already gives billions to aboriginals each year and does not give that much money even to our Defense force or medical sector.
The last Young Man what a Smart Kid.Thanks Mum And Dad you got a one there .And as for the Jelly Show what the address I'll come around and Celebrate .We Are One But We Are Many say it out Loud

I personally don't care what day we celebrate Australia Day, if they want to change it to feel better or feel included than so be it. But, we all know that even if we changed to a "suitable" date, those same people protesting will find another reason to not celebrate.
Not if it's Federation Day, Jan1.
@@petethundabox5067 that is when I would like it changed to. The name Australia was first put down by Mathew Flinders on a map he drew in 1807, a few decaedes after Cook and nearly 20 years after the first fleet. The first action that made us a nation was the Federation Act of 1901… So the first time we were Australia was 01/01/1901 and that is why we should celebrate it then… We could have a 2 day party from New Years Eve to New Years Day and have the Australia Day public holiday on the 2nd… What even is the 26th? As if they know that’s the day they planted a flag and I never remember it growing up, 1994 was the first time.. I know for the whingers it was before they were born, that’s why they either think it is evil, or are so attached to it as they think it has always been.
wouldnt stop the bs... they finally showed their hand this year, they werent protesting the date, they were protesting australia. morons dont know how good they have it!@@byza101
there will always be the select few who have an issue with something. at least the majority would be happy.
jan 26 1949 was when all australians were declared citizens of australia instead of britain. its got nothing to do with the first fleet (which landed on jan 18) and we were still british citizens in 1901. this whole debate is full of lies, they dont understand or care about the date, they jusy want to protest our country, so they can all F off!@@byza101
It doesn’t matter what day is picked as Australian day there is always some group somewhere that will feel offended by it….a lot of weak minded people are living in western countries….
Bloody agree and I'm Indigenous
Lowkey if we were to change it we should put it on the 29th of may when cook founded Australia. Cause without him none of us would be here
Seems to me that the white mobs have more of a problem with Australia day than our indigenous.
As a Aboriginal elder I disagree ❤️💛🖤 people like you putting post up like this creates negativity towards the day is sad "celebration of country "👍is the right name for Australia Day 🎉🌈💓💯
@@sharonyoung2680 I agree with u everyone should just celebrate Australia and be greatful together.
Excellent Jamie!
Truth about 26/1.
Captain Cook did not arrive in Australia on the 26th January. He landed on 28th April 1770. And the first fleet arrived in Botany Bay on 18th January.
On 26th January 1949, the Australian nationality came into existence, when the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 was enacted. That was the day we were first called Australians and allowed to travel with passports as Australians and NOT British subjects. In 1949 therefore, we all became Australian citizens under the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948.
Before that special date, all people living in Australia, including Aborigines, were called ‘British Subjects’ and forced to travel on British passports and fight in British wars.
This is why we celebrate Australia Day on the 26th January. Australians became free to make our own decisions.
This Nationality and Citizenship Act of 1948, in 1949 gave Aboriginal Australians the full protection of Australian Law. Until this date, Aborigines were not protected by law.
So if we do away with Australia day then the Aboriginals lose those Protections?
You missed some key details. The first fleet arrived at Botany Bay on the 18th January, but deemed it unsuitable, so they moved and arrived at Sydney Cove on 26th January 1788. Arthur Phillip began the colony and this date was celebrated sporadically throughout the 19th century in NSW as the anniversary of colonisation.
Then in the late 1930s, all states decided to celebrate the same day, BEFORE the 1948 Act you mention.
There is evidence that Australia Day was celebrated AND protested BEFORE 1948 & 1949, so it is clear that Australia Day celebrates the colonisation.
Stop twisting history to make yourself feel better about celebrating.

I’m 27 now and have always been against the Illuminati and stuff like that. I want peace. And it sucks because I really hate what happened to the aboriginals here. But just like the last guy on the video. I want us all to be unified. I go to the park on Australia Day for a family event the town put on for everyone. As soon as I get there someone at the car park calls me a white C. Then I was like what do you want. He chose to not fight me and just driving off yelling stuff. I also was getting my 3 kids out of the car when this was happening. It was the only reason why I didn’t rush them. But yea I was thinking like bro I’m on your bloody side.

Well said
Australia Day doesn’t celebrate colonisation, what a crock. It actually celebrates the day that Australians became Australians and no longer British Subjects. The Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 was enacted on the 26th January 1949. This meant that Aussies no longer had to fight in British wars and could travel on Australian passports.
Until this date, Aborigines were not protected by law. For the first time since Captain Cook's landing this new Act gave Aboriginal Australians the full protection under Australian Law.
If the argument is about Captain Cook, then I hate to burst the bubble, but he didn’t land until April 28th 1770…..NOT January 26…..,too many people have been fed bs like the mushrooms that they are, the government won’t correct it, as it helps them create division.
They just want something to rage about, you change the date and they'll move onto something else
@@Alex-tu9bh Agreed, they have already stated that if they changed the date, they would protest that date. The bottom line is, they don’t want an Australia Day at all. Thank god they are a minority.
Agreed, your historical account is correct 💯 I've been saying the exact same thing for years but people don't want the truth. Great history comment 🤗
The date the first fleet landed was the 19th in Botany Bay, the settlement was relocated to Sydney Cove on the 26th. Why that isn’t taught in schools is beyond me. The “Invasion day” line is not a valid argument.

I don’t actually believe we celebrate Australia Day because of captain cook, that bloke didn’t come around to Australia till 19th of April 1770.
We actually celebrate Australia because of the 1948 Australian Citizens Act; “All Australian-born and other British subjects resident in Australia for the five years prior to 26 January 1949 were automatically Australian citizens. Anyone born in Australia on or after that date was automatically an Australian citizen. The Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 came into effect on 26 January 1949, creating Australian citizenship for the first time.”
This precious piece of information has been lost to time, and shadowed by Captain cooks landing in 1788 with the first fleet. It’s a painful coincidence that their dates Aline with each other, Both events happened on the 26th of January.
Captain Cook didn’t land with the first fleet. He stopped in a bit before them.
You realise because of cook the colonies wouldn't have known about the country. I celebrate our great nations day because of cook. Without him we won't be alive, everything this great island have is because captain cook founded him.

The First Fleet originally arrived in Australia at Botany Bay on January 18, 1788. The fleet consisted of 11 ships, carrying over 1400 people, including 700 convicts. The majority of the convicts were male, but there were also around 200 women and children

Palestinian issues are important to talk about, but not here. Don't group our Aboriginal and TorresStrait islander people with Hamas. Don't do that.
Unpopular opinion: Colonisation was a net positive. Aboriginal people have a better quality of opportunity here now, whether they choose to live in the cities as a part of the west, or in the bush or regional communities, as they originally did. Their communities are in turmoil right now not because of lack of funding or opportunity, but because of their mismanagement of resources and weak parenting strategies to rebelling youth. Their identity can still exist, although weaker, as connected to the land. Christianity needed to arrive to Australia. The British colonisation was better than the Portuguese or Spanish, otherwise we would not have aboriginal people today, as they would've been wiped out.
Massacres, water pollution, devastating wildfires, suicides, stolen generations, race, language erasure, cultural erasure, depression, drug abuse and deaths in custody aren't net positives. Palestinians had their land invaded and stolen, so did Aboriginal Australians. Time for you read some bloody history.
A lot of of aboriginal people from all tribes in Australia have had a significant loss. Some tribes were completely wiped out. There's not one full blood aboriginal person alive today because of colonisation.
@mbrown2656 Blood quantum doesn't mean anything to Indigenous peoples other than a tool of colonial oppression.

Ir is ok to have different opinions about Australia Day, but going around vandalizing private property that is not right. It is a day to spend time with family friends and do fun activities.

People need to learn to move on instead of holding grudges. A world full of hate just can't advance.

Celebrate on a different date, black and white working together for a better country 👍
Stand against vile Liberal racism and bigotry.
Change the date we celebrate
Australia Day 🇦🇺⚫️🟡🔴🟢
Cronulla brought a bunch of rednecks decked out in Union Jacks who don’t even know what day Australia became a country (hint it wasn’t the 26th of January)
7:10 actually the day he might be referring to is when we became a Federation which is 1st of January 1901. January 26th 1788 was when the boats for the first fleet arrived on Botany Bay. Invasion Day, Australia Day whatever you want to call it we need to keep it, to remind us of Before settlement & after settlement which has affected all members of modern Australia.
Although I disagree with keeping it, you are correct, the guy doesn't understand what the day actually means, it was the beginning of colonisation in 1788 by Gov Arthur Phillip
no guys, youre dead wrong. jan 26 1949 was when the people of australia (all ethnicities, including aboriginal) were declared citizens of australia, not britain. that is why its australia day, and that is why we wont be changing it for the sake of the ignorant minority!
he does understand what the day means, you are incorrect
How? He doesn't even know when Australia became a federation? And he thinks we're independent when we're not.@@xhazzx
The Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948@@Wesda
Doesn't matter what day you change the date to because there will still be the hateful few who don't want it at all so you will never please everyone with this issue so just keep it
This is going to happen every year, just change the date to 13th Feb when K Rudd did his apology and let that be the date we celebrate union between all cultures in Aus. Most people only want a day off in the summer so this helps.
what happend to the jelly wresaling
my bad jamie did not see the last part
Bro I wanted to see the jelly wrestling 😢😢😢
If you don’t love leave it best country in world
7:10 “Australia Day is the day we got our independence from the UK” - WTF is he smoking? Jan 26 was the colonisation from the UK, you could say Jan 1 1901 was the day we became a country even though we were still under British colonialism. March 3 1986 with the passing of the Australia Act is a bit more appropriate for independence or the day if/when we become a Republic. But January 26th certainly isn’t “the day Australia became independent”
If they do change the date, it should be May 8, because, Mat8, M-A-T-E
😂 love it
I used to attend the invasion day rallies because I truly believe we can find a better day to celebrate, and I'd consider myself a centrist. but gradually more and more of the anti-israel sentiment came into the fold, there was no way I could walk along side these ignorant people chanting intifada. People that think the Palestinian and indigenous Australian causes are the same need a history lesson, watching these middle class uni students crawl into these rallies wearing keffeyeh makes me dry reach bile
mate we got our so called independence on the 1.1.1901 learn your history
True, and it's technically not independent, we are still a constitutional monarchy under the British. Old mate Charles still has the power to kick out the PM if he wants to.
3:18 - "we should not be here" 😭😭😭
Then please feel free to leave 😊
exactly@@ryanadams3858
Bunch of hypocritical people...no matter what day some are never happy
Well im aboriginal and i think this whole situation is aweful i got sad watching this😔 i believe in jesus christ our saviour and in heaven there is no culture we are all equal....what they did to our people years ago is very sad...i personally got no one to blame but the enemy/devil, he use people to cause all this chaos in the world...why not forgive and all live in peace and try to show love to one another...coz at the end of the day this all belongs to GOD ALMIGHTY 🙏🕊️❤️ i love use and i hope we all can come to an understanding
You ask those people what date they would like to pick and you will not get the answer. It is an occasion for all activist to protest different causes. For me invasion day could be 22 August when Cook discovered Australia or 7th February when British empire declared Australia part of British empire.
Change the date of Australia Day,
so All Australians can celebrate,
the start date of a murderous and dispossesive colonisation is not a date all Australian citizens can celebrate and it shouldn’t be the date for our national day.
Celebrate on a different date, black and white working together for a better country 👍

Change the date we celebrate
Australia Day 🇦🇺⚫️🟡🔴🟢
Half the people in that protest didn't even know what Australian Day was. Why they were there
Most of the bogan alcoholics in Cronulla didn’t know what “Australia” Day is about champ……
To me the real irony is that hamas which is a moslem group,have nothing in common with aboriginal culture,in fact Islam is against most things in aboriginal culture ,for instance animals that are spirit totems,sacred rocks ,sacred trees etc,all condemned by Islam ,oil and water
Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!
instead of saying changing the date sugest a date
As an Aboriginal Australian do I care about the date no not really its not gonna change the past. I rather they make a black history month like they do in US to understand why they wanna change the date though...gives aussies who do not know Aboriginal history a chance to understand the impacts of colonisation. You cant deny the history of what happened to Aboriginal Australians in this country. Also im not looking to spread hate or division but rather educate and understanding from one culture to another...
Those at the beach at Cronulla have the right idea
I live in Sydney
I went to cronulla on australia day and I didn't get to see Mr Zhu 😢
more aboriginal celebrations/protests 🤦♂️ are you trying to make our country look embarrassing? Are you trying to make our country go backwards? It deeply saddens me that the Australian government and people across Australia follow so blindly into the trap! So please stop supporting since the government already gives billions to aboriginals each year and does not give that much money even to our Defense force or medical sector.
The last Young Man what a Smart Kid.Thanks Mum And Dad you got a one there .And as for the Jelly Show what the address I'll come around and Celebrate .We Are One But We Are Many say it out Loud
It seems we could solve these problems by simply giving them more money… has anyone tried this yet?
