Woolworths’ half-baked Australia Day ban

Mike Jeffreys

Mike Jeffreys is joined by Nick Cater, Executive Director of the Menzies Research Centre/Columnist with the Australian, who wrote recently about the annual assault on Australia Day which has noticeably intensified this year.

Mr Cater writes, ‘We have long passed the point where it was possible to have a measured discussion about other possible calendar slots or linking it more overtly to Federation rather than settlement, the Australian commonwealth being a great civic success story well
worth celebrating.’

‘It is not just January 26 some object to but Australia Day itself. What purports to be
an argument about dates has morphed into something more frightening, an
argument about the legitimacy of the nation itself.’
