Doesn’t matter what date it’s changed too. As long as it’s got Australia in it people will
Complain and want to changed.

There is always something that someone will get outraged about.

It's true. I bought a happy meal today and I was outraged by the lack of salt on my chips

If this truly happens in SA, it makes me sad.
Where is this country heading with decisions like this?
I find this type of attitude and approach in this day and age seriously offensive and an affront to Australian history.

As far as I know, we only have one South Australian poster in the Eels forum.
It would be interesting to get his views on this. Not so much his personal views, but the reaction in SA towards this decision. I've not seen nor heard much on MSM.

They don't want it changed anymore now they want Australia Day wiped completely.

We should all be sad f**ks and not enjoy life anymore.

Parramatta light rail should open soon. Did a inspection of it myself today. It looks good. Really will transform the city.

 

[hindy111]

It will open in May so people will be able tomuse it to get to the footy.

Can it get from Carlingford to Church St within 15 minutes?

Haven't seen timetables yet but it shouldn't be more than 20 mins I wouldn't think. Much quicker than a bus.
The light rail for Parra is a game changer big time, and even more so when the Metro eventually opens.

I'd estimate about the same. 15-18mins

seems like a simple decision to legislate public holidays according to the day they fall (hence 25 April, Easter, first Monday in October) is just fodder for people to get something to make up conspiracies and be outraged over

Where is the outrage that "Labour Day" has been removed?

Yeah I am over it.

Just can it and give us a day to celebrate properly without all the whinging amd everyone can enjoy.

It wasn't an issue 15 years ago but is now.

What's changed in 15 years that happened in 1877 that we didn't know then what we know.

"
Day of Mourning. On 26 January 1938, Aboriginal people protested against Australia Day and called it a 'Day of Mourning'."

Conservatives making up situations and then getting angry about it? First time for everything I guess

 

[hindy111]

This west connect to the Anzac Bridge is an epic cok up. Like a can of spaghetti.Very confusing. Anyone else used it?

 

[crocodile]

I can honestly say this. The 70's were a far better time. None of this crap existed.

It was a better time as long as you weren't a shirtlifter.

or had brown skin

Change it to Outrage Day. Then when people are outraged by it, at least they’ll be getting in the spirit
