"Australia Day" #notadatetocelebrate

Burnum Burnum (meaning Great Warrior) made the reverse journey that Cpt Arthur Phillip had made in the 18th century
"In claiming this colonial outpost, we wish no harm to you natives," he wrote in an accompanying declaration.

The image shows a person (Ngarra Murray) speaking into a microphone, positioned on a stage or platform outdoors. The individual has long dark hair and is wearing a black jacket with red and yellow writing on it. In the background, there is an architectural structure with columns and a blurred sky. Superimposed on the image is a block of text in yellow and white, with a highlighted phrase. At the bottom, there is a pink label with a name and title, as well as a logo in white. Transcribed Text: “It’s time to approach our national day in a different way. The question is no longer why the date should change, it is whether Australia has the courage to finally grow up, make this change and begin the next chapter in our nation’s story – one that includes all of us.” NGARRA MURRAY ASSEMBLY CO-CHAIR TREATY FOR VICTORIA

January 26th is a day that marks the beginning of colonisation and the attempted eradication of First Nations people, cultures, languages and connection to Country.

It is NOT a day to celebrate.

January 26 is not a day to celebrate. It is a day of invasion - and a day of survival, resistance, and mourning. It is a day we come together to stand with First Nations peoples across this continent, to tell the truth and demand justice.

#NotADateToCelebrate #InvasionDay

Still a banger. Still relevant. 🖤💛❤️

I think of this long history every time 26 January rolls around #invasionday #notadatetocelebrate

Never Ceded: Feature films directed by Australian Indigenous / First Nations / Aboriginal peoples 60,000 years of storytelling, 130 years of cinema... 30 feature films? This list is appallingly small but will hopefully grow exponentially as the years go on. I've only included anthology films when all or the majority of chapters were directed by Australian Indigenous filmmakers. Excludes TV movies, series or short films - this is a list of feature films, made for theatrical or streaming release.

Some film recommendations for this day. #NeverCeded #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe #NotADateToCelebrate

A crowd of people gathered outside large sandstone building

TAC change the date rally outside Tas Parliament. Great turn out, fabulous speakers. Well done everyone 🖤💛❤️ #notadatetocelebrate

I made a list on PageBound with book recommendations for anyone who would prefer to learn more about why today is a day of mourning instead of celebrating the colonisation and genocide of an entire continent.

"How you wanna raise a flag with a rifle
To make us want to celebrate anything but survival?
Nah, you watchin' telly for The Bachelor
But wouldn't read a book about a fuckload of massacres?"

Invasion Day marks what my ancestors did badly and wrongly etc. You cannot wipe that away because you heard about an Aboriginal man who was claiming two pay checks etc!

Lit a candle while watching #dawnservice on this #DayOfMourning

Beautiful service, feel need to bring gum leaves from where I live on Country to camp sovereignty fire, in a way to reconnect Country that might look physically divided, but has deepest roots that connects us all. #notADateToCelebrate

"Losing" a public holiday shouldn't be a problem for all those "proud" and "patriotic" Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi, types for whom #AustraliaDay is sacrosanct as a national day. It shouldn't be about a public holiday if they're truly "patriotic". #invasionday
