HUNDREDS of people protested peacefully at Parliament House this morning (January 26) at the federal government’s reluctance to change the date of Australia Day.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says there was no escaping the fact that January 26 marks the date Australia changed forever and that’s why Australia Day should be held on the date each year.
Among strong police presence, Canberra protesters marched from the Aboriginal Tent Embassy to Parliament House chanting slogans.
