As usual, 26 January has been marked by protests, denunciations of those protests, and further iterations. Even apart from the fact that it marks an invasion, the foundation of a colony that later became one of Australia’s states isn’t much of a basis for a national day.

That's just... I don't even know what to say. Disgusting and abhorrent come close to how I feel about that.

I'm half German myself (born and raised in Melbourne), and my family is so disgusted and disappointed that Nazis have made such a rapid and thorough return. This could have and should have been prevented, and yet here we are.
