Australia day: universities open to changing work policies

Australia is not the only country that has ever been colonised. This is Australia’s history. It’s not great but that’s colonisation and history. What is in the past should be remembered but left in the past. As a nation we should move forward and stop dredging up the past and using that as an excuse to remain firmly stuck in the past. The origins of Mardi Gras was horrific yet today we celebrate Mardi Gras and it unites people. Why can’t we do the same for Australia Day. Move on Australia and let’s make Australia day into a positive day for all, where we celebrate the variety of cultures this great country is made up off and we forgive the sins of our ancestors.
