The Australian state and all of its institutions are built on genocide, slavery, and oppression. January 26th, Invasion Day, marks the anniversary of the beginning of European oppression in Australia.
I love my country, and I would love to celebrate being a part of it, but I don’t feel comfortable celebrating on a day that means an entirely different thing to the people whose history here is so much older and richer than mine. Australia is not just MY home.
