If the aim of Australia Day is to promote national unity and social cohesion, writes Dave Donovan, then it ain't working. This week’s Australia Day “celebrations” were a sure sign of that and have been, to use the local vernacular (dutifully imported from America), “an absolute shitshow”. She was interviewed by famous broadcasting drunkard Karl Stefanovic, who used the opportunity to defend Australia Day as a “great event”, deride “woke culture” and tell dissenters to “lighten up”. Just the thing to wave on our “national” day. Especially given it hasn’t even been the day on which we have always celebrated Australia Day and, in fact, only because of uniformity in Australia in 1994.
