Australian hasn t been as divided on our national day holiday as we were on January 26, 2021.
While hundreds of thousands just wanted to head to the beach and make the most of the glorious weather and the public holiday - besides in Melbourne, which was hit by a cold snap - there were thousands who shunned the party to turn out for Invasion Day demonstrations calling for Australia Day to be abolished forever.
A long-running campaign to abolish Australia Day or change the date has a growing number of Aussies feeling uneasy about our national day of celebration.
Indigenous activists, and many other Australians, now regard the day British settlers who first landed in Port Jackson on the First Fleet in 1788 as an event to be mourned, not celebrated.
