Changing Australia Day?
Let’s address the real issues.

The lives of Indigenous Australians will not be improved by changing the date of Australia Day nor by following the Black Lives Matter movement, advocates CIS Indigenous Director Jacinta Nampijinpa Price. The greatest failing of these movements in Australia, and a complete contradiction to their cause, is they ignore the lives taken at the hands of other black people. They are driven by false claims of black deaths and repression are a result of systemic racism by allegedly murderous white people.
