No matter what date you are still celebrating the same thing! Only fools think changing a date will change that. Leave it alone ABC you should be bringing the community together not deviding it.

Good. But it’s not true. The reality is that Scott Morrison reignited the debate by insisting Councils hold citizenship ceremonies on that day. And we all dress up. The date celebrates us becoming a colony.

Gotta love identity politics. Here’s a mostly white women telling white Australia how we should act towards Aboriginal people. A victimiser playing the victim

this is what happens when a nobody tries to become a somebody and everybody reports it.Utter madness

26th of January marks the day of the new settlers entry to Oz ...now that was a unifying moment ...like it or not ...it happened ...people need to look ahead and look at the way Oz has unified since ...the art work is a variation on an Indigenous theme .. .many Moons ago ...

Good on you, Brooke.

iansmith_adl Morrison reignited more division and disunity from Jabiru...

And good on her for saying it. It was thoughtful and right on the money.

She has not “ignited” debate. boneybrooke misused her TV role to insult most of her employer’s audience

So now we know what her purpose is then. Cheers.

FatherBob Incorrect. She was asked a question by her co-hosts. She answered the question. Debate not ‘reignited’ by her.

A nobody, appeasing perpetually whiners and minorities. No, stay were you are friend.

No she wasn’t, she quite clearly said she didn’t want to do that. She was answering questions. How do you reignite something that’s still going on anyway?

FatherBob Keep the date. Just treat indigenous people better.

FatherBob Did you miss typhoidmorrison? I guess it's fair to try to block him from your consciousness.

Watch how the same media who gush over the royal family also love to blame average joe's for all the wrongs of the past and everyone gives royalty a pass. When it was their show. How is there even a royal family in this day and age, sell crown jewels build aboriginal state:)

The more celebrations the better, Let's just change the queens b'day to an indigenous holiday. The British empire brought us here they took ownership of all the land and forced the convicts from their indigenous lands and family, we are on the same side. When did we forget this?

By birhday is on this day ...people stuggle with the truth it is not as day of celebration for our indigenous

Just another excuse to have a day off and get pissed. Lets be honest.

Who the fuck is Brooke Boney?

this elite privileged white girl claims indigenous status , can't be fired ever and now wants to exclude herself from Australia Day because she associates it with her own oppression by whites, & that oppression got her to this elite privileged position where she can bleat it out.

No she hasn't ABC, you've lost the debate and no one's listening......

Brooke needs to put her prejudices aside and embrace Australia Day as it stands.

Well Darling, you don't have to celebrate it. And if you don't want your brothers, cousins, aunts or any of ya mob to go to jail, tell them to stop breaking the law and stop being bloody victims!

So she can not celebrate it if that's how she feels. Almost every race or culture has a similar (or worse) event in their history. No one alive today was present at the time that Cook landed so it's time to move on

Go Brooke! boneybrooke

Here we go once again! The annual disagreements and agreements on Oz Day date.

Sadly, too many care more about January 26th than a true Australia Day that also honours our first residents. Do we want to remember 230 years or 60,000 years of our great nation? 60,000 years sounds better to me.

Nuff said

Great name!

Australia Day 26th January. Great choice of date, our forefathers need to be honoured.

Dear white people. No one is saying a white persons life can't be hard if they're white - it's isn't hard because they're white. Can you get this?

1st of May that is the proper day

Just go away and see what you can extract from the whiten population seeing you claim to be an aborigine. What a laugh.

And that’s exactly right. We should be listening to the Indigenous people of this country. What do they think.

The annual kerfuffle begins yet again

Give it up. FFS!

She is a piece of sh**. This white aborigine is basically blaming all Australians for aborigine kids not going to school and aborigine women getting raped. She is real bad news and with luck she will now get the chop from channel 9.

YAWN - and we care? Why?

Always knew Pat Cash was a fair dinkum Aussie 'I'm on a steep learning curve but the date needs to be changed' changethedate VoiceMakarrata teelareid RecAustralia

It’s a great day to celebrate the triumph of starting a new civilisation in a Barron land

Really? Wasn’t she responding truthfully to questions?

Yeah sure it was all Brokke whoever whatever why do we even pay you guys.

Whether we change the date or not I still cannot change history. 🤔

She hasn't 'reignited debate'. She merely gave her opinion when she was asked to.

Many Australians should be ashamed of themselves for supporting such a date. Fortunately it does have a use by date.

Everyday is Australia Day. We need a reconciliation day - to remember and to be better. I am, you are, we are Australia 🇦🇺. I love this imperfect country.

Well .. best start reigniting 'global warming' for tomorrow then?! G'Day mpsmithnews

Brooke Boney an aborigine? Get the fu©k outta here.

Her logic is idiotic & it will not help a single person who needs it because some sort of bullshit tokenism over forcing a date change on the majority is not what they really need to improve their lot in life. The gov just funded a huge program to help where it is really needed.

Oh no! It’s that time of the year again for boring news articles...

Invasion Day should be a day to reflect on the genocide upon which Australia was built, to take measures to de-colonialize our conception of it and its history.

No. The debate was well and truly going on already. She just very reasonably have her own valid reason for challenging the date.
