Great post, however why do you celebrate a date which is a hurtful one to your ancestors?

Our ancestors fought against the crown and detested what England had done to it's children.

They fought to become an independent nation not a penal colony and successfully did so with the formation of our own country today called Australia which passed in 1901 with the federation act.

We have taken a step back and if our ancestors were alive today they would slap us silly for undoing the blood, sweat and tears they shed forming this nation.

We are not slaves but free men and deserve our dignity.

Our ancestors died for it.
