My Father was in the 2/7th Independent Company (Later 2/7th Commando Squadron) and they day of his 21st birthday was spent fighting the Japs in heavy action - https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/U56152 https://www.commando.org.au/ww2-caommando-units/2%2F7th-commando-company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2/7th_Commando_Squadron_(Australia) Our family business was a tannery that had run for 100 years, even though it was mostly relatives working in the tannery and they were all designated a 'Protected Industry' and as such protected workers because of the great need for leather for the war effort.....to a T every single man of military age signed up and fought in the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific and many gave their lives. -

Sorry to b!tch, but somethings just wrangle me beyond despair. The minority of complainers calling it Invasion Day are a miniscule number compared to the Australians that will be flag waving and enjoying and celebration Australia Day this coming January the 26th.......but which group do you think the 24/7 news leeches put the spotlight on?

Australia Day 26th January 2024 Every other nation's day is awesome and worthy of celebration. Wokeness has gotten such a foothold here now from the toehold it had just a few years ago. The rabid Left here now despise Australia Day and refer to it as Invasion Day. There are millions of people who would jump at the chance to live in Australia. Maybe a swap can be arranged between those who hate it here and those who want to live here?
