      Start with google! " the Halloween holiday has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (a Gaelic word pronounced “SAH-win”), a pagan religious celebration to welcome the harvest at the end of summer, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts"
      The celtics are based in pagan practices which would be based in spiritualism-demonic realm.

I’m telling you that January 26th is not the right date for me and my people to celebrate because we view it as the start date of our peoples murder, slavery, cultural dispossession and oppression. I want to celebrate my country, but when non-indigenous people tell me to do it on the date their ancestors came her and started hurting my ancestors, I take huge issue with it.
      January 26th is not a date we can all unite. And as an Aborignal-Australian I refuse to celebrate my country until we can find a date that suitable not just for you, but me and my people also. The problem is that people like you think that your opinion is the only one that matters, but I’m just as much of an Australian as you and I love this country the same if not more than you. So why shouldn’t I be able to have an Australia Day that’s on a more appropriate and respectful date for all of us.

    Woolworths decides to stop selling Australia Day Merchandise! I have decided to stop shopping at Woolworths 100% for 365 days per year. They will not get my business ever again. While ever they decide to go "Woke" they can go broke. My several thousand a year will not hurt them but if 10% or more people join me in boycotting Woolies it will hurt them and maybe, just maybe get them to stick to retailing rather than politics.

      "One theory holds that many Halloween traditions were influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain, which are believed to have pagan roots.[19][20][21][22] Some go further and suggest that Samhain may have been Christianized as All Hallow's Day, along with its eve, by the early Church.[23] Other academics believe Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, being the vigil of All Hallow's Day.[24][25][26][27] Celebrated in Ireland and Scotland for centuries, Irish and Scottish immigrants took many Halloween customs to North America in the 19th century,[28][29] and then through American influence various Halloween customs spread to other countries by the late 20th and early 21st century."

    Hello fellow Australians,
    It is I, your favourite federal Leader of Opposing, Peter Dutton.
    I hope you all had a happy new year, although I don’t know if you are even allowed to say that these days. Personally my new year's resolution was to focus on what matters most this year, and that is mind numbing culture wars.
    Which is why I am so deeply concerned with what is happening at Woolworths this year. In an unprecedented move, they have stopped selling toothpicks with Australian flags on them. Something we as a nation have never seen before! (Except for all the stores, such as Kmart, who stopped selling them already)
    This is, simply put, the worst tragedy that has ever happened. Why is this not the focus of the trial happening in The Hague right now?
    I understand that this change has been a massive disappointment to all of those quiet Australians who, like myself, feel that the glue keeping this country together was supermarkets selling shorts with flags on them made of polyester that aids the growth of crotch fungus. It’s unclear how the nation can even continue without them.
    If we as a nation cannot come together and go to the supermarket to celebrate this great country, by purchasing single use thongs with our flag on them that were terribly made in a sweatshop based in a country that I normally call for a boycott of, then well what is the point of having this day at all?
    We must not let this slide. I call on everyone to boycott any business not selling the merchandise and instead spend our money in the place where I was born, The Reject Shop.
    And I promise to you Australia, that I will continue to fight for this noble cause and any other I deem equally as important, just as long as the media keeps making whatever I say their top story without any thought to the damage they are causing by doing so.
    Let’s Make Australia Day Great Again!
    Yours,
    Peter Dutton
    Leader of the Death Eaters

Keep your grubby little hands of our day, because we don't need to change the date and we are sick of the wok crowd making another excuse to cancel Australia Day.
