Hes gone down the beach and filmed a lot of stereotypical Australians that do not represent the entire population we're not all as stupid as Queensland people
so sick to see danny lim in this video that dude is a sydney legend. the cops broke his neck or something at the end of last year but he's been doing better recently
great, calm interviewer who allowed the people to just talk and didn't interrupt or push an agenda. also great that we got to see different perspectives and all the interviewees were pretty respectful, regardless of their standpoint.
I’m in Australia right now traveling from Canada. Arrived in Sydney on the 25th. Was walking around the next day to get a feel for the area (Stayed at a hostel just across from central station). And walked into that park you were interviewing/filming. I stayed for awhile to listen to the speakers. Would’ve been awesome to meet you guys. Great content and coverage of an ongoing issue.
I’m glad this channel exists! Easily seen as formatted in the same style of what Channel 5/All Gas No Breaks was… however what seperates this is that viewers across the world (me coming from America) see what Australia is really about. Truly a fascinating continent! I learn more and more about life outside of the US . Which is such a breath of fresh air. I loved the Chanel Tres/JpegMafia interviews as well as the one about that frat row esc where college students go ape shit. Keep up the content ! Your time to shine.
Didn't expect death grips within the first minute of the video, confused but appreciative. I respect your coverage of our current political climate and country's cultural underbelly. Very good quality 👌
I can see the point that the aboriginal people make. But what I see is that the people celebrating Australia day, are celebrating being proud of their country and people. It's in no way racially motivated. It could and should be a day of unity for all Australians
It should be, but the problem is we're the only anglophone country who celebrates their national day on the exact date the poms came and slaughtered everyone. That's fucked when you compare notes with our closest allies lol
@@horsepuncher95 Let's be real here, if the poms had come here and tried to slaughter everyone, there would be no Aboriginals. There weren't even any conflicts between the Aboriginals and the Colonialists until late May that year when Aboriginals attacked and killed two of the prisoners. Calling it a genocide or a war or whatever is vastly overstating the scale and intent of what actually happened.
On Australia Day, you can celebrate, commiserate, or even protest. You can do whatever you think is right, and no-one can stop you. That's what it means to be Australian
Nope. Australia has no enshrined right to free speech. OUr constitution does not protect protest, As we saw during covid. As we see when those dissenting the narrative are silenced as an -ist or a -phobe.
Another great video. It's so important to see all the viewpoints without interference and interruption. The captured candour of the people tells you all you need to know. This day divides so many and for good reason, there is nothing to celebrate, not when there's so much disconnection between communities and history. The inability for people to acknowledge these issues and spend the day getting blasted while others mourn is disheartening. The indigenous people and cultures deserve better. Thanks for work!
If only you knew how small the population who 'mourn' in this day are. It would be less than 2%, and that's giving a very very high estimate. Majority of indigenous, themselves a small minority of the total population don't care
There is a lot to celebrate in Australia, a truly unique culture that has given a fair go and a future to every one of its citizens in the modern days, including hundreds of thousand of us immigrants 🇦🇺
"There is nothing to celebrate" meanwhile I see the color of your wife in your thumbnail and celebrate I'll never be like you 😂😂 mixing is bad and you only have the opinions you do because you couldn't score a woman of your own people, gotta outsource to brown town and adopt whatever viewpoints she henpecks you to 🤣
What is that good reason that divides us? please tell.?? First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay on 20 January 1788. not even the 26th you moron. changed the date why? people like you are fucking virtual signalling retards! go to another country and see how far you get then tell me this country that has given you every opportunity is bad.
Both sides are arguing about 2 different things. - The date is irrelevant because Australia wasn't "founded/invaded" (whatever you want to call it) on that date. So why would it matter you change the date? - Then you could make the argument that it's in "rememberance" of it being founded/invaded, which it isn't it's a day off to celebrate Australia as a country. So you don't have an argument there either. - Why not have another holiday in rememberance of the stolen generation? I'm sure nobody would object to that? Like an ANZAC day where we take a day off to remember those who've passed. If anything to people who don't care it'd just be another day off work. It's funny how easily Australia is manipulated. The protestors had photos of George Floyd, a black man from America who was killed. Something that has nothing to do with Australia except the fact he wasn't white. These protestors are looking for reasons to be mad, they're disenfranchised too.. Do you want to change the date or abolish it? Agree on 1 fucking intention and then present the argument. And then refer to my arguments above and re-asses. But it's so strange how easily Aussies are influenced by other countries. People who celebrate Australia day don't do it out of some racist dominance over Aboriginals, most people are sad about that dark history. The fact that these protestors try so hard to paint it that way is going to cause people to do that out of spite like we've seen with literally every other movement that got too out of hand.
Easy settlement. Porque la nos dos? Why not do both? 1: Set Federation Day as a day of celebration on July 1 2: Keep Jan 26 and consider it a national day of Celebration for indigenous people and their survival despite all they went through 3: make Sorry day a national public holiday.
@@rtmpgt the fuck am I saying sorry for, me and my Aussie Greek immigrant family didn’t kill anyone. To expect a whole country to say sorry for shit they didn’t do is fucking obsurd and pointless.

I think it's time we changed the date, Australia day is all about celebrating Australia and being united as a country and we can't do that with such a heavy historical shadow hanging over our heads and dividing us. I say we split it in two, have Australia Day on a different date that we can all get behind then have the 26th of January as Survivor day which is a more somber holiday of remembrance and acknowledgement.
@@zoemarsland genocide? dont be dishonest there's more aboriginals now than there ever was. january 26th has been celebrated in nsw ever since the rum rebellion 215 years ago. january 26th is not the date cook arrived, nor the date he claimed australia for britain, it's not the date the first fleet arrived in australia. it's not the date the first fleet made 1st contact with aboriginals, it's not the date the french arrived, it's not the date they first went to port jackson, the only significance it has to the first fleet is it's the day they flew a flag at port jackson 8 days after arrival. it wouldn't matter what date was celebrated the leftists would still be stoking racial division.
And what day would you propose? Because at the heart of the issue is not the date itself but whether we should honour the hardships that the settlers and founders of this nation endured to provide us with the country we enjoy today. Those that oppose Australia Day will oppose any date because they view the settlement of Australia as an act of evil. They will always refuse to honour the people that built this nation from nothing.
Australia Day was implemented officially in 1994, under the ALP under Keating. On purpose, for this very reason. For division. Prior to the Whitlam years, everyone celebrated Empire Day, and knew they were all British Subjects, including singing God save the Queen. That's the generation that finished school in the 80's and prior. It took most of the 80's & 90's for the sell off of public assets, hiring or government workers (not public servants) changing names, corporatizing things and all manner of frauds to hijack Australia our from under the Common Law. Stop bitching about what happens and start questioning why these things happen.
Every nation deserves a day to celebrate the hardships of those that built that nation. What day do you propose for that celebration here in Australia?
Quite right, they really make bankrolls just having these two sides try to one up each other don't they, the whole lgbtq and climate alarmist bs just adding fuel to the fire
I'm an aboriginal man. Australia has a lot of problems, we aren't done improving and growing but I bloody love Australia. I'm so proud to be Australian. I'll die on the hill that the day should be changed to May 8th, Mates day for Australia day. Ain't nothing more Australian than that lol Bless those aunties too ❤
I agree we should change the date to Jan 1st for Australia day because that was the day we become one nation when all the states were unified, I also think we should celebrate Cook on his birthday because he was one of the greatest mariners of all time and not an "invader" There are many wrongs that need to be righted but being racist towards white people does nothing but grow even MORE resentment and the whole idea about reconciliation is that BOTH sides forgive each other...
@Fcuk Gogle you're uneducated if you think aboriginal people need to apologise. Cook invaded Australia and with the British empire deemed the land inhabitable even though my ancestors were there. They chose to not declare my people as human to claim the land for themselves. Aboriginal culture is the oldest surviving culture that we know of, hundreds and thousands of years my people lived peacefully in sync with the land. We were then invaded, killed off in the thousands. Detained, segregated, turned into slaves, an entire generation of children stolen. Our life expectancy is 20 years less than a white Australian, we're way more likely to develop terminal illnesses, we're more likely to be killed by cops, we're more likely to be targeted by racism. This was less than 250 years ago. 56 years ago our constitution changed to say aboriginal people ARE human. No where near equal opportunities yet This is not an equal blame situation, the birtish committed disgusting acts against my people. Not only have they tried to bury what they did, they've built the entire system around benefiting themselves and to push us back under the rug. We aren't asking for much, we're asking for recognition of the last pain and the pain still felt today. We want respect, an end to racism and equal opportunities and chances for our people. Of course racists can't rationalise this argument
I have huge internal battles with the Australia Day. I'm indigenous on one side and FIST FLEET the other..My ancestor survived that journey and I'm proud of that. I'm also proud very proud of my indigenous background
These parents saying they don't want their kids killed or picked on by police seems a little bit off. I mean, if they don't break the law then, they won't. Simple right.
Oh cool, you're an idiot. No, it's fine buddy just put your opinions on the internet without understanding socioeconomic position's impact on criminal activity. And maybe research why they're in that position.
I don't get why they don't just change the date. People still get to celebrate the amazing country we live in and there's no people getting hurt by it. It's a win-win.
First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay on 20 January 1788. why is the the 26th an issue when its not the same day as when the first fleet landed? ill tell you why because no matter what the day these people landed these other people will hate you because they are racists, anything done in history by a white person is bad and must be removed. That is what they think and want period
Changing the date does nothing for the aboriginal people in rural areas. Most of them don't give a fuck, they have far bigger issues on their plate than changing a date of a holiday. If these protestors actually wanted to help, they would be donating or offering help to areas such as domestic violence/drug and alcohol abuse/youth crime.. Yet they don't do a thing because they don't really give two shits. I live near Cairns, kids as young as 10 steal cars and go on joy rides, with no punishment. The best thing you can do is give these kids guidence before they turn into life long criminals. These kids don't give a fuck about a holiday when they're not even going to school.
all these people saying that cops in aus are killing indigenous people??? this doesn't happen in aus at all, just look at the problem in allice springs kids are roaming the street being violent, smashing cars and shops, stealing and being public menaces and all the cops can do is tell them not to do it and send them home just for them to come back out the next night and do it all again. these people are so stupid it blows my mind
I live in Australia and I think it is fine to celebrate Australia Day if you want to, I do celebrate it but I also know people who don’t. It shouldn’t matter if you aboriginal or not aboriginal, we should all get along.
you’re probably tired of the andrew callaghan comparisons but it’s genuinely awesome to see channel 5 style on the ground journalism in australia presented in such an entertaining way. good stuff #changethedate
sad to see young people have nothing better to do then protest about the stuff that's not a problem, then do something about the wrongs and injustice that actually effect all Australians lives thats what American influence has done to us cant wait to have to a country leave again
How can you even begin to compare the two countries’ experiences. Britain was the home of a global empire which colonised other countries for centuries and so it shouldn’t exactly be surprising to see immigration happen to it, at least from the Commonwealth countries. Besides that, immigrants to the UK- no matter which way you want to spin it- aren’t in the same situation as the British when they arrived in Australia
@@benm7453 I could use any country with a native White / European population as an example, It's the exact same scenario where they're supposed to celebrate demographic replacement in the name of diversity. If anything the Aboriginal people of Australia are racist for resisting your beloved diversity that was completely lacking until European settlement. Edit for the record Australia was conquered not stolen, if the anglos wanted to genocide the Aboriginal they would have done so easily.
My father a Welsh immigrant worked in coalmines from the age of 14. He volunteered to join the 8th Division RAE during WW2 was a POW on the "death railway" in Burma. He endured 4 years of torture and starvation and on his return went straight back to work, he died aged 65 only 3 weeks after he retired and left behind 5 children and a wife. Sorry young people of colour but you get very little sympathy from me as l witnessed your kind urinating on a war memorial on Australia Day.
2:18 Ignoring aboriginals? We take every chance we have to virtue signal about aboriginals. We have acknowledgement of country, even a welcome to country, aboriginal flags everywhere, a movement for indigenous voice, and for 3% of the population we excessively virtue signal about this and we can’t just have one day of the year where we celebrate settlement in our country.
All those recent arrivals who came here knowing full well that Australia was 'stolen' land should be doubly ashamed and return home as quickly as possible. The sheer gall of them.
It's not. The vast majority of Australians want the day to stay the 26th. Even a poll amongst indigenous Australians found the majority didn't want the day changed. The media and the noisy minority are the ones pushing it
The term ‘terra nullius’- used to imply Australia was uninhabited, or ‘nobody’s land’ was only removed from school textbooks in 1996. Some context to explain the generational dissonance we see in this video. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land!
Problem is, if it was always Aboriginal land it would have remained in the stone age as it had for the 10k or so years prior. A lot of having your cake and eating it too going on here.
Ha no its not its the kings land mate. Australia was taken from stone age tribes and has become a modern nation. The aboriginals have no written language or proof that they are ethe oldest culture. Sure people may have lived here but if you went back to talk to the first people in Australia you would find that their culture and language is very different to the modern black feller languages. You did not own the land and their are no written claims
I’m proud of this great modern nation of people like Nathan, who confidently misuse idioms, and this Datsun guy who can’t spell. P.S. I don’t have a written claim over my dog but that doesn’t mean she’s abandoned
@@i0.0t Mate you would have written proof that you own the dog as you would have a receipt for when you bought it. Also black fellers did not have permanent settlements like the Aztecs or Egyptians. They also had a written language hence they were not cavemen. In Europe we would call the black fellers cavemen if they were white but whatever I guess.
The 26th of January is a day for Anglosaxon Australians to celebrate their ancestors' arrival on the Australian continent. What sentimental value is this day supposed to have for Indigenous Australians?
Sadly our country is being overun by idiots. (Im aussie.) Its australia day, not invasion day, and the only reason many people find it offensive is because of politicized media coverage. Its actually racist to say that as a multicultural country with ancestry around the globe, we cannot celebrate the country we live in, the freedom we have, and how proud we are of our country.

It took most of the 80's & 90's for the sell off of public assets, hiring or government workers (not public servants) changing names, corporatizing things and all manner of frauds to hijack Australia our from under the Common Law.
Stop bitching about what happens and start questioning why these things happen.
Every nation deserves a day to celebrate the hardships of those that built that nation. What day do you propose for that celebration here in Australia?
Quite right, they really make bankrolls just having these two sides try to one up each other don't they, the whole lgbtq and climate alarmist bs just adding fuel to the fire
Best thing that the Labor Party has ever done, and I don't even like them
Keating the pedo
yeah, now they're pushing the "voice" another division tactic. well done Labor!

I'm an aboriginal man. Australia has a lot of problems, we aren't done improving and growing but I bloody love Australia. I'm so proud to be Australian. I'll die on the hill that the day should be changed to May 8th, Mates day for Australia day. Ain't nothing more Australian than that lol
Bless those aunties too ❤
I'm with you mate. Proud Aussie, but just change the date so everyone can celebrate.
I agree we should change the date to Jan 1st for Australia day because that was the day we become one nation when all the states were unified, I also think we should celebrate Cook on his birthday because he was one of the greatest mariners of all time and not an "invader"
There are many wrongs that need to be righted but being racist towards white people does nothing but grow even MORE resentment and the whole idea about reconciliation is that BOTH sides forgive each other...
@Fcuk Gogle you're uneducated if you think aboriginal people need to apologise. Cook invaded Australia and with the British empire deemed the land inhabitable even though my ancestors were there. They chose to not declare my people as human to claim the land for themselves.
Aboriginal culture is the oldest surviving culture that we know of, hundreds and thousands of years my people lived peacefully in sync with the land. We were then invaded, killed off in the thousands. Detained, segregated, turned into slaves, an entire generation of children stolen. Our life expectancy is 20 years less than a white Australian, we're way more likely to develop terminal illnesses, we're more likely to be killed by cops, we're more likely to be targeted by racism. This was less than 250 years ago. 56 years ago our constitution changed to say aboriginal people ARE human. No where near equal opportunities yet
This is not an equal blame situation, the birtish committed disgusting acts against my people. Not only have they tried to bury what they did, they've built the entire system around benefiting themselves and to push us back under the rug.
We aren't asking for much, we're asking for recognition of the last pain and the pain still felt today. We want respect, an end to racism and equal opportunities and chances for our people.
Of course racists can't rationalise this argument
I thought june 1st because thats when the national flower blooms
the Protest was full on so many nonsensical people.
Australia is by far the most racist place I've ever been to in my life. Respect to all aboriginals still fighting, staying strong and surviving!
If it’s so racist why do they encourage so much immigration? Take your time…
@@torturedsouldepartmentit's been over a year, old mate burned out😂
I have huge internal battles with the Australia Day. I'm indigenous on one side and FIST FLEET the other..My ancestor survived that journey and I'm proud of that. I'm also proud very proud of my indigenous background
With all honesty what is there to be proud of?
These parents saying they don't want their kids killed or picked on by police seems a little bit off. I mean, if they don't break the law then, they won't. Simple right.
Oh cool, you're an idiot. No, it's fine buddy just put your opinions on the internet without understanding socioeconomic position's impact on criminal activity. And maybe research why they're in that position.
Exactly, they make it seem like the police automatically target them...
@@l1ttleprotag370 Lol
this was so well made. God bless Australia.
absolute kings are back
I don't get why they don't just change the date. People still get to celebrate the amazing country we live in and there's no people getting hurt by it. It's a win-win.
Because the activists won't give up when that happens
@@chrispekel5709 This, and also because the reasoning for changing the date is a big fat lie.
First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay on 20 January 1788. why is the the 26th an issue when its not the same day as when the first fleet landed? ill tell you why because no matter what the day these people landed these other people will hate you because they are racists, anything done in history by a white person is bad and must be removed. That is what they think and want period
Changing the date does nothing for the aboriginal people in rural areas. Most of them don't give a fuck, they have far bigger issues on their plate than changing a date of a holiday. If these protestors actually wanted to help, they would be donating or offering help to areas such as domestic violence/drug and alcohol abuse/youth crime.. Yet they don't do a thing because they don't really give two shits. I live near Cairns, kids as young as 10 steal cars and go on joy rides, with no punishment. The best thing you can do is give these kids guidence before they turn into life long criminals. These kids don't give a fuck about a holiday when they're not even going to school.
Because they will just keep complaining and continue to say "change the date"
all these people saying that cops in aus are killing indigenous people??? this doesn't happen in aus at all, just look at the problem in allice springs kids are roaming the street being violent, smashing cars and shops, stealing and being public menaces and all the cops can do is tell them not to do it and send them home just for them to come back out the next night and do it all again. these people are so stupid it blows my mind
It’s almost like…they shouldn’t get themselves arrested or something:.?
I live in Australia and I think it is fine to celebrate Australia Day if you want to, I do celebrate it but I also know people who don’t. It shouldn’t matter if you aboriginal or not aboriginal, we should all get along.

Churr boys some more great content, awesome reporting keep it up!
you’re probably tired of the andrew callaghan comparisons but it’s genuinely awesome to see channel 5 style on the ground journalism in australia presented in such an entertaining way. good stuff #changethedate
sad to see young people have nothing better to do then protest about the stuff that's not a problem, then do something about the wrongs and injustice that actually effect all Australians lives thats what American influence has done to us cant wait to have to a country leave again
there all worried about there kids being targeted by police? teach your not to be a target...
5:55 is literally a golden moment 🤣🤣

Dudes on ecstasy or something :D

Was that Death Grips I hear?
They've used Death Grips and I think GYBE in videos before, very based music taste with these boys
Imagine if the indigenous English had this attitude towards immigrants, they would be labelled racist.
How can you even begin to compare the two countries’ experiences. Britain was the home of a global empire which colonised other countries for centuries and so it shouldn’t exactly be surprising to see immigration happen to it, at least from the Commonwealth countries. Besides that, immigrants to the UK- no matter which way you want to spin it- aren’t in the same situation as the British when they arrived in Australia
@@benm7453 I could use any country with a native White / European population as an example, It's the exact same scenario where they're supposed to celebrate demographic replacement in the name of diversity. If anything the Aboriginal people of Australia are racist for resisting your beloved diversity that was completely lacking until European settlement. Edit for the record Australia was conquered not stolen, if the anglos wanted to genocide the Aboriginal they would have done so easily.
The bloke with a mullet is an absolute legend
its so confronting actually hearing from the victims just how much aboriginals have been oppressed over the past 300 years
Amazing work mate!
Imagine if the date was changed but to the day the first fleet actually arrived. 4D Chess.
checkmate!
Yer, it's when we had our own passports , etc
There’s a lot of young brainwashed minds in Australia
Glad to see you equally showed how idiotic absolutely all of us are no matter what we believe.
My father a Welsh immigrant worked in coalmines from the age of 14. He volunteered to join the 8th Division RAE during WW2 was a POW on the "death railway" in Burma. He endured 4 years of torture and starvation and on his return went straight back to work, he died aged 65 only 3 weeks after he retired and left behind 5 children and a wife. Sorry young people of colour but you get very little sympathy from me as l witnessed your kind urinating on a war memorial on Australia Day.
This channel is so good
that guys phone saying "australia day party' is funny as
2:18 Ignoring aboriginals? We take every chance we have to virtue signal about aboriginals. We have acknowledgement of country, even a welcome to country, aboriginal flags everywhere, a movement for indigenous voice, and for 3% of the population we excessively virtue signal about this and we can’t just have one day of the year where we celebrate settlement in our country.
no idea where this c!nt from? prob merica no idea
It’s never enough, it never will be. Even if they pass voice to parliament they’ll want more more more.
Bloody good content mate
australian channel 5. needed.
Nah my friend, we from NZ

love how the map is like middle earth
Please make sure you guys don't pull a Channel 4
All those recent arrivals who came here knowing full well that Australia was 'stolen' land should be doubly ashamed and return home as quickly as possible. The sheer gall of them.
This video is so excellent, amazing work
we don't need to get rid of Australia day we just need to change the date
danny in the thumbnail made this an instant watch lmao
Kinda based too call in invasion day tbh
Lol I'd celebrate that
3:07 It means absolute shit...a true Australian 👍
It's simply just another ordinary day i don't need to work and get paid for it.
Back to All gas no brakes era of journalism
holy fuck I had no idea shit was that bad
It's not. The vast majority of Australians want the day to stay the 26th. Even a poll amongst indigenous Australians found the majority didn't want the day changed. The media and the noisy minority are the ones pushing it

The term ‘terra nullius’- used to imply Australia was uninhabited, or ‘nobody’s land’ was only removed from school textbooks in 1996. Some context to explain the generational dissonance we see in this video. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land!
Problem is, if it was always Aboriginal land it would have remained in the stone age as it had for the 10k or so years prior. A lot of having your cake and eating it too going on here.
Ha no its not its the kings land mate. Australia was taken from stone age tribes and has become a modern nation. The aboriginals have no written language or proof that they are ethe oldest culture. Sure people may have lived here but if you went back to talk to the first people in Australia you would find that their culture and language is very different to the modern black feller languages. You did not own the land and their are no written claims
I’m proud of this great modern nation of people like Nathan, who confidently misuse idioms, and this Datsun guy who can’t spell.
P.S. I don’t have a written claim over my dog but that doesn’t mean she’s abandoned
@@i0.0t It's not a misuse at all, unless you're comfortable with the idea of living in the stone age
@@i0.0t Mate you would have written proof that you own the dog as you would have a receipt for when you bought it. Also black fellers did not have permanent settlements like the Aztecs or Egyptians. They also had a written language hence they were not cavemen. In Europe we would call the black fellers cavemen if they were white but whatever I guess.
hot head in the beginning caught me off guard then chokeslammed me
The dude talking about Adonis is off his head
bloody good stuff
The 26th of January is a day for Anglosaxon Australians to celebrate their ancestors' arrival on the Australian continent. What sentimental value is this day supposed to have for Indigenous Australians?
Sadly our country is being overun by idiots. (Im aussie.)
Its australia day, not invasion day, and the only reason many people find it offensive is because of politicized media coverage. Its actually racist to say that as a multicultural country with ancestry around the globe, we cannot celebrate the country we live in, the freedom we have, and how proud we are of our country.
its appalling that this video doesn't have more views!!
this is gonna be the one
9:13 "survival day" that's the one because if it didn't happen we all wouldn't be here
Really good work team. Pretty important stuff.
