Next Australia Day

A meeting of Aborigines at the Australian Hall in Sydney in 1938 issued a proclamation that on 'the 150th Anniversary of the Whiteman's seizure of our country' passed unanimously a resolution protesting at the whiteman's mistreatment of Aborigines since 1788 and appealing for new laws ensuring equality for Aborigines within the Australian community’
Peter Garrett gave his 2009 Sorry Day speech (May 26) standing in First Fleet Park. He said that Sorry Day still exists because the first Australians are coming last and it’s time that changed.
Today, many indigenous Australians claim Australia Day is “Invasion Day”
To make Australia day more inclusive, some more substantial tribute to the Aborigines that were here to see the arrival of the first Fleet at Sydney Cove is needed, something more than a separate day to be sorry for injustices.
Perhaps this First Fleet park could serve better as a tribute to Australia Day for all, by being renamed Reconciliation Park.
