A day to ‘celebrate’: Anthony Albanese responds to poll in support of Australia Day
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has responded to a new poll which found 61 per cent of Australians do not support changing the date of Australia Day.
“This weekend, we’ll celebrate Australia Day and that’s a wonderful thing,” Mr Albanese said at the National Press Club.
“The other thing that happens at Australia Day is there is a focus on the fullness and richness of our history including the fact that we all share this continent with the oldest, continuous culture on Earth and what a privilege it is.
“Acknowledging, as well, it’s a hurtful day, a difficult day for many First Nations people but it’s one in which we can celebrate what we are today whether it be our great history going back 65,000 years or whether it is the arrival of Europeans here.”
