Title: Australia Day Fireworks - Fremantle
Post by: Doggie 1 on August 25, 2016, 11:23:34
Fremantle has cancelled Australia Day fireworks on January 26th as it might offend some indigineous Australians.
What an absoluet load of BS crap.
Aboriginal families in their droves went to, and enjoyed, the Australia Day celebrations year after year.
Political correctness gone insane. Honestly? Really?
They have lost the plot.
Australia was colonised by the British a couple of centuries+ ago.
Get over it.
Lucky it wasn't the Japanes or the Chinese because then there would be no Aboriginals.
At least we are inclusive (as we should be IMO).
I will not be going to Fremantle to celebrate Australia Day again.
Vote with your feet.
Morons.
All Australians are Australians and I despise this segregation that some sectors of the community wish to perpetuate.

Bloody ridiculous :disapp: even if they cancel the fireworks it's still Australia day so their logic is all screwed up.

They should stop paying welfare and use that to pay for the fireworks imo.

What a load of frog sh*t!  :fum: :crazy1:  :head_butt:

We are supposedly all one "people" yet we again and again prove (by these sorts of actions) that that is indeed an absolute load of crap...
Oh, and while I'm having a rant, in this day and age why oh why do we have "Indigenous" rounds of the AFL?
You can just imagine the uproar from the politically correct brigade if we decided to  celebrate a "white people" AFL round...  :crazy1:

Anyhow, that's it from me...  :spitty:

I could not agree more.
All Australians, whatever colour or background.
It's a load of devisive crap.
As are the proposed changes to make special mention of Aboriginals in the Constitution.  :fum:
We're all Australians FFS.

Yeah in an interview with an Aboriginal they asked him what they called the place before the white folks arrived and called it Australia, he said  "ours"   :crazy1: :crazy1: :crazy1: :crazy1: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The aboriginals might have been here first but it'd be nice if once in a while they were reminded that they arrived here in boats via Indonesia :D
