Our national day, Australia Day (Jan26), is the date in 1788 when white settlers arrived, claimed the land and began shattering the peaceful, harmless, land-respecting lives of its indigenous people. Many Australians refer to the annual holiday as Invasion Day and want to change our flag to one that reflects the background of all its people.
