Can someone please explain to me why the 26th of January is a bad day in the left and woke peoples eyes?

Because to me regardless of what day we have Australia Day these people will still be offended.

I really think that they want to stop us from celebrating Australia Day altogether regardless of what date it falls.

Roll on Australia Day, I will be in SA shooting at the SA IPSC State Handgun Titles :) :) :)
