How are you celebrating "Australia Day"?
Having a tinny or two and watching the Cricket?
Putting your feet up and chillin' with the Mrs?
Maybe head down to Darling Harbour for the fireworks later?
Doing something uniquely "Australian"?
Perhaps something a bit "partriotic"?
My family and I will be heading to Canberra. We cannot afford such a trip (from Bundaberg, Qld), but the issues at stake are too important to ignore any longer....
It appears Mr Howard needs a personal visit.
Stop the Genocide!
Give Back Aboriginal Land!
End the nuclear madness!

I'm waiting for the introduction of "I'm NOT sorry day" .. cause I have nothing to be sorry for.
I own my land, I paid for it, if you pay me for it .. at fair market rates I may consider selling ... you aint getting it for free like you want.

When my parents were alive I used to do two things on the 26th january. Celebrate with my Mum and comiserate with my dad.
I have a mixed background of Irish Catholic(Mums side) and Dad(he is Koori). They are no longer with me and now I usually take my son on a Invasion day march and look at the fireworks at night. My parents taught me both sides of the history of Australia and I am greatful for that.

Well it is a Friday here, so I will have lunch with my husband & then meet my daughter & twin 1 yr old grandsons for shopping at the mall.
That night will be dinner & a movie with husband & then home to play Wii.
Same every Friday unless a trip to our boat occurs.

My ancestors came out here in the early 1800's. My Great Great Grandfather was killed by Aboriginals. When you say sorry to me for the loss of a family member then I will think about listening to what you have to say.
My family worked hard for what we have. We have paid our taxes, lost family members and toiled the land to get where we are today. Give back Aboriginal land?
The Aboriginals have stolen more from my family than we have taken from them.
Give ME back what you have taken.

I agree. I think it's time that Australia confronted its history. Howard is more concerned with Australian's being able to be "proud of their history" than with the truth.

You can get the ball rolling on giving back the land by turning over your own house. Wouldn't that be inspirational to others?
