Australia Day is my most hated of all days. It's turned into a racist, horrible, embarassment of a day and it needs to be changed.
January 26th 1778, the "first" Australia Day. The day that hundreds of European settlers arrived in Botany Bay on the First Fleet. The same day that a vast number Aboriginal people lost their lives, just because they were here. Our ancestors sailed right into their homes and brutally murdered them for absolutely no reason. Is this something to be proud of? Why are we celebrating this?
When did Australia Day turn into the official day of the meat eating, alcohol drinking and flag wearing contest? The way people carry on is sickening. It's illegal to use the flag as a chair cover or to let it touch the ground when dismantling it from the flag pole. But you know, if you're a derelict and you want to wear it as a bikini or as a cape which you then vomit VB all over, that's perfectly acceptable. The individuals that choose to carry on this way need to drink a big cup of respect, humility, appreciation for the country, but most of all a big cup of shut the fuck up and take that temporary tattoo off your stupid face. Those who try to claim this as patriotism not racism need to be treated to a session with a dictionary and a bashing of common sense.
Australia Day needs to be changed to another date when it doesn't clash with Fuckwits Draped In Flags Day.
I think it's really disappointing that this is the way we act. I like our country, I really do. But I refuse to celebrate this disgrace of what is apparently our national day. It's degrading to Australians, it's degrading to the Indigenous Aboriginals and it's degrading to migrants.
"Fuck Off, We're full"? Fuck off.
"We grew here, you flew here"? You sailed here, you failed here.
And finally, all you idiots that think a Southern Cross tattoo makes you more Australian than the next person... The Southern Cross is on the flags of Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and Brazil. Well done.
