Australia Day has become the most controversial date in the calendar, polarising those who want to celebrate the arrival of the First Fleet on these shores and those who say it sparked an era of untold suffering for First Nation people. Now Zali Steggall, Warringah MP, has called for councils across Australia and in her electorate to include a one minute s silence on January 26, in recognition of indigenous Australian lives that have been lost since the first Europeans arrived.
