A Melbourne council will stop referring to January 26 as Australia Day, after a controversial motion was passed in a dramatic town hall meeting.
Yarra council voted to:
- Hold a small-scale, "culturally sensitive" event featuring an (aboriginal) smoking ceremony on January 26.
- Adopt a communications plan that focuses on "broader community education to help people better understand Aboriginal community experiences of January 26".
- Refer to the day as "January 26" until another term is adopted nationally.
- Officially support the #changethedate campaign in council publications and social media.
- Consider ways to lobby the Federal Government to change the date of Australia Day.
The Social Media is running hard on the issue, the government funded JJJ have moved their fameous 'Top 100' songs from Australia Day to so other day.
One of the fun things that gave you the heads up was that the Lamb' Ad was on the Telly.
