Every year, thousands gather at the steps of Parliament House to protest the date of Australia Day. This January 26 marks 236 years since the landing of British colonial forces on this country and the beginning of colonisation and oppression of First Nations people that still occurs today.
All are welcome to participate in the event, which will begin at 10am with the laying of flowers in memory of Aboriginal ancestors. Following some speeches from campaigners and community leaders, a march through the CBD will commence before finishing up at Flinders Street Station.
The rally is also an opportunity to call for treaties for stolen land, and to stand up against continuing systematic racism, deaths in custody and the ongoing oppression of First Nations people across the country.
