The People's Republic of Victoria says death to Australia Day

From the article:

The City of Melbourne council and Victorian government remain steadfast in their Australia Day policies despite a swell in support for the national holiday. Victoria will not bring back Melbourne's Australia Day Parade, which was a centrepiece of celebrations up until it was cancelled by former premier Dan Andrews during the Covid period four years ago. Staff working for the state government and City of Melbourne Council will also continue to have the option to shun Australia Day as a holiday by choosing another day to have off. Although the City of Melbourne will host traditional citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day the council confirmed it still opposes January 26 as the date of national celebration. 'The City of Melbourne will host nine citizenship ceremonies in 2025 – including on January 26,' a council spokesperson told the Herald Sun.

It also found 86 per cent of respondents were 'proud to be Australian' while 68 per cent agreed that Australia has 'a history to be proud of'. January 26, which marks the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney's Port Jackson in 1788, has been labelled Invasion Day by those who see it as a date for mourning the colonisation and dispossession of Indigenous Australians. IPA deputy executive Director Daniel Wild said the results demonstrated a shift in the vibe and energy surrounding Australia Day.

'It is clear that mainstream Australians have had a gutful of this attitude and being put upon by the elites,' Mr Wild said. 'The 26th of January is more than just a date, it represents the establishment of modern Australia as a free and fair country.'

For those who don't know. Victoria is a communist backwater state in Australia. It is one the poorest and most uncultured states. It even signed itself up to China's Belt and Road initiative is currently in a mountain of debt. I hate Victoria so much bros. I hope Trump invades Victoria genocides every single soy Victorian there. Fricking cute twinks. Kill all Victorians. Despite making up 20% of Australia's population, Victoria consumes 84% of federal subsidies. That's just how much of shithole Victoria is. Australia would be much richer if we just booted it from the Federation.

Anyway, Soybourne actually are having Aus day celebrations - I just want any excuse to shit on the city that I live in.

The IPA - the Institute of Public Affairs - is a rightoid "think"tank that espouses whatever their donors want to here. When I become dictator, these kinds of people will be liquidated. Lots of people will be liquidated. It is my dream to one day be unburdened by leftoids and rightoids. Every aussie will be an ascended griller. I will install though trackers into the brains of every citizen so that they can only think good, correct thoughts.

I've got the flu, have only slept 3 hours and just want to weird post. Anyway, I'll shut up now.

Let's see how the Redditors are eating up this garbage article:

This will only help dutton in the upcoming election.

Exactly, these traitors need flushing out of the system. Go find another country to disassemble.

Fricking ease up turbo. Most people who don't choose to celebrate the day just want it changed. They don't want to disassemble the country 😂😂.

I would bet 8 out 10 people in this situation are either state actors or passive aggressive Marxists, 2 actually really care...

Below is you:

Haha, I upmarseyd this.

Mate you're fricking cooked. It's not even hard to understand why indigenous people find it offensive. We literally celebrate the day some other c*nt rocked up in a boat and said "Yeah, I'll take it " Literally the only problem stopping this debate from being easily resolved is the fact that the dumb c*nts started the federated nation of Australia on Jan 1st. So it's a bit fricking hard to celebrate our actual birthday because everyone is hungover.

Jesus dude, hop off the Pauline punch

We'll be isn't too far off, the people promoting this garbage don't understand the damage their doing and the blow back that comes after it.. some things are better off left alone.

What damage?

When Dutton gets in you and the other down voting clowns should take a look in the mirror and take a bow

What is Dutton going to force people to wear flags as capes at gunpoint? Most if the decline in attendance at Australia far events happened under a Liberal government

Cope

Frick off you do know what Marxist is

Do you?

Karl Marx wrote in the communist manifesto that communism shall be defined as not having Australia day on January 26. Once that is achieved we can have a dictatorship of the proletariat, initiate a cultural revolution and live like George Orwins animal crackers.

The pigs rule, until they're eaten.

What exactly is a "passive aggressive Marxist"?

A Marxist who is aggressive, passively...

Fine. Don't seize the means of production. See if I care.

Calling people that want Australia Day moved (not even gone just moved) traitors is fricking hilarious. What flavour crayon are you eating today?

How did you come to the conclusion that I was referring specifically to people that want Australia Day moved traitors? You are sprinkling false context where it doesn't exist. If you read through my history, I am all for moving the date.

But who then wants to "disassemble" Australia?

Maybe those who have something to gain from it? Usually it is distraction or manipulation for political control, or partitioning votes. There are benefits in keeping people busy fighting amongst themselves, consider it filling a collective cognitive capacity with "noise".

As an Australian I would like the national day to honour the day Australians did something, like Federation (Jan 1), establishment of Australian authority I've parliament and courts (March 3) or perhaps a republic. I think the "traitors" are the ones who celebrate a day British sips carrying British convicts landed here to establish a British penal colony under a British flag

I disagree (regarding who are the traitors), the vast majority of people are celebrating because it is a public holiday celebrating the nation. Most are victims of circumstances and contingent outcomes. This disunity has been poorly handled by politicians who should have fixed this years ago with real action, not subtle sly messaging that only ensures people are distracted from the shocking job they are doing.

As an Australian I don't like holidays on days celebrating the actions of British people. Am I a traitor?

No.

Forcing people to celebrate on January 26…..sounds like the LNP are the communists

No one is forcing anyone to do anything, inaction is the issue.

For those who don't know, Dutton is the leader of the Liberal Party. The Liberals are the hecking based and tradpilled cuckservative party who totally won't sell off the soil under your feet to their mates or foreign actors. (Labor is no better).

Melbourne…

Naarm, if you prefer not to use the name of an English prime minister infamous as a nonce in his own lifetime.

Lot of downmarseys from people who prefer the English nonce.

You're weird

Probably what they said to the guy whose idea it was to name somewhere after an English nonce.

Ngl, that was funny 🤣

FFS, Again: it's not about the DAY it's the DATE. Everyone I know is totally in favour of Australia Day, most people I know just want the date changed. Mr Dutton could actually choose to go down the change the date track, but he doesn't do that, quite deliberately. He just can't recognise or have any empathy as to why the date is so fricking awful.

Whats wrong with the date?

Seriously. ok. I'll give you a clue..... Invasion and dispossession.

Did a bloody good job in just 200 years.

The slogan "Abolish the date" indicates some people want Australia Day itself abolished, rather than rescheduled.

Fricked if I know how you read that into a 3 word definitive statement. Abolish the date. Full stop. Nowhere in there does it mention abolishing Australia Day.

Sorry mate I couldnt find a gaybc or guardian article for you. Its funny how those companies tend not to report on things like this or at best spin in it a way that makes it out to be a good thing. But you already knew that. Tabloids you dont like printing facts you dont like it, doesn't make them untrue.

Such a mature and outstanding contribution

The guardian and the 'gaybc' as you so intelligently put it don't report on things like this, because it's billionaire-funded culture war BS that has successfully indoctrinated you into feeling enraged about a holiday that means nothing other than a day off for 90% of the population. I'm also extremely concerned that you genuinely believe a shitrag that reads at a primary-school level and literally takes its sources from right-wing think tanks is 'printing facts'. It's printing propaganda. And you have fallen for it.

Hey guys, person from Naarm here. Just want to acknowledge the custodians of this sub, past, present, and emerging on the sub in which we're posting. There is no need to thank us. We're just leading by example so that one day, even those red neck Queenslanders will see the error of their ways and join with us in protest to change the date. Yes we know, support for genocide is growing (as demonstrated by the evil Murdoch empire), but I assure you we will continue the fight alone by holding Invasion Day rallies with the usual "no pride in genocide", "always was, always will be", and the classic "sovereignty was never ceded" until 11:59pm and then do it again until next year on January 26th. Yes, we could protest all year about it, but unfortunately, we don't really want to complete with the pro-Palastinian protesters for the Sunday time slot all year and we also don't really care as long as we virtue signal harder than everyone else in this racist country. Flag burning starts at 5:30, you're welcome to join us.

This post needs gold guilding just for the tone alone, I stopped breathing for several seconds before the laughter orgasm.

Rule 2 - No trolling.

Melbourne of course

If China ever invades, I would gladly offer Melbourne as tribute to make them leave.

They would be insulted.

Why does a UK news agency give a frick?

With a history of tacitly supporting Hitler and Mussolini, and a current readership of people who like xenophobia but can't spell it, it manages to get almost 9 million unique online visitors from Australian IP addresses, per month. This makes them money.

Fricking poms interfering in our affairs yet again.
