Australians are 'sick and tired' of being lectured to about their national day

The article from MSN discusses the growing discontent among Australians regarding the celebration of Australia Day, which falls on January 26, marking the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. This date is increasingly seen as "Invasion Day" by Indigenous Australians and their supporters, highlighting the beginning of colonization and its detrimental effects on Indigenous communities. The piece notes that there is a significant push to change the date of Australia Day to one that does not evoke pain for Indigenous people. Public sentiment, as reflected in various polls, shows a divide, with many Australians feeling lectured to about how they should feel about their national day. There's a call for a more inclusive celebration that acknowledges the full history of Australia, including the pre-colonial Indigenous history. The article also touches on the political and cultural debates surrounding this issue, with some politicians and public figures advocating for a change, while others resist, fearing it undermines national pride.
