We all know shops such as Woolworths, Aldi, and Kmart are refusing to stock Australia Day merchandise. Okay, whatever. People can choose to shop elsewhere. Last year, four Australian councils scrapped Australia Day citizenship ceremonies, including three in Melbourne, as well as Hobart City Council, which passed by only one vote with calls of “shame” from the public gallery. This year, however, 81 councils have scrapped their Australia Day ceremonies. This is out of a total of 537 Australian councils meaning 15% of councils will no longer hold these ceremonies on Australia Day. The reason for such a rapid rise in dissenting councils is that the Albanese Government scrapped a rule that forced all councils to hold citizenship ceremonies on January 26. All the Prime Minister had to say on the matter was, “The Government still supports Australia Day.” LOL! Here’s the Geelong City Council website who “held a six-month conversation about 26 January to understand and acknowledge the experiences of First Nations Peoples”. As a result of the feedback, the council have decided they will “Re-schedule citizenship ceremonies to another day within three days of 26 January”, “Cease referring to 26 January as Australia Day in all communications and refer to the day as 26 January”, and, “Council has also reaffirmed its commitment to the Uluru Statement of the Heart”, you know, the one Australians voted against in last year’s referendum. Here’s the University of Sydney’s News Website. Just by accident, when I searched for Australia Day, I got the following results: “International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia”, “Lesbian Visibility Day”, “International Transgender Day of Visibility”, “International Day of People with Disability”, and, “Global Accessibility Awareness Day”. That’s all. There’s absolutely nothing about Australia Day. And I’m not even joking here. These are real results. You can try it out for yourself (link below). Here’s the Coffs Harbour City Council website. They conduct Citizenship ceremonies on Harmony Day, on Citizenship Day, and around Australia Day, not on it, around it. Heaven forbid you hold an Australia Citizenship ceremony on Australia Day. You might offend somebody, right? University of Wollongong’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Patricia M. Davidson announced a New respectful work arrangement for Australia Day basically allowing employees to work on 26 January instead of taking the day off in “a show of respect for First Nations people”. They state that although for many people Australia Day is a time of celebration, for Indigenous Australians, this date translates to invasion, survival and murder. So if you celebrate Australia Day, you’re celebrating murder you barbarian!, at least according to the University of Wollongong. The City of Stonnington in Melbourne has some upcoming events. Guess what happens on January 26? A healing ceremony! Don’t worry it’s free, and there’s no mention of that evil Australia Day. Actually, there’s no mention of the word Australia, which is just a European colonial creation after all. Look, I could go on forever, but I think you get the idea. Australia Day is under attack, which means Australia is under attack. The PM might pretend that nothing is happening, but it couldn’t be further from the truth.

On occasion, I show a clip from Australia’s public broadcaster, the ABC, and it’s never been an issue. I showed the Prime Minister trying to talk his way out of not knowing the price of bread or a litre of petrol. I showed the Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk blaming the floods on climate change. All of that was fine. The ABC had no issues with that. But then I showed Stan Grant, the host of the ABC's Q+A program kicking out one of the audience members 20 minutes after the audience member asked a question. Not because he was unruly or anything like that, no, simply because Stan Grant didn’t like his pro-Russian line of questioning.

It seems they want to cover up Stan Grant censoring people by censoring me! (Or so I thought). No, it turns out that the ABC didn’t ask YouTube to remove my video (it’s still there by the way), no, they just wanted to collect the royalties, all $53.49 of it. They wanted the money! Why, I asked? Some might argue that the ABC as a public broadcaster is owned by the taxpayer. As I myself am a hardworking taxpayer, I believe that surely I must own some percent of the ABC, but apparently not. They can rob me of my revenue. Okay, I’m being a bit facetious, I kind of did break their copyright, but why do they want my money? Well, if you do a search for Q+A ratings, “Sydney Morning Herald. Plunging ratings for ABC’s Q+A raise more questions than answers”, “News.com. Q+A sinks to embarrassing new low. ABC's Q+A has sunk to a new low, a week after host Stan Grant controversially kicked out a pro-Russian audience member”. It seems that Australians don’t really like censorship in their public broadcaster, and have decided not to watch their show anymore. To be fair to Stan Grant, I actually do enjoy reading his columns on the ABC. He often writes in a very fair, neutral, and unbiased way on a whole range of international issues, so it really surprised me that he was willing to kick off an audience member because he didn’t follow the pro-Ukraine/anti-Russian narrative. Perhaps it wasn’t Stan who kicked him off. Perhaps there was a producer in Stan’s ear. Either way, Q+A ratings have sunk to a new low. Perhaps the ABC should stop focusing on how to silence Australian people, and instead represent Australian people as they should.
