Australia Day is celebrated on January 26th, marking the arrival of the first British fleet to Australia in 1788. However, for many Indigenous Australians, this day marks the beginning of colonization and the forced displacement of their ancestors. As a result, some Australians view Australia Day as a day of mourning rather than celebration and have called for the date to be changed to one that is more inclusive and respectful of Indigenous history and culture. In this video, we will explore the reasons why some Australians dislike Australia Day and the ongoing debate surrounding the date of the national holiday.
