Episode description
Australians across the country will “celebrate” Australia Day today, January 26. Many believe it ought to be scrapped as a day of celebration out of respect for Indigenous Australians who consider the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 as an invasion - a colonisation of First Nations.
Teela Reid, indigenous lawyer and practitioner in residence at Sydney University Law School. In this long-form episode of the Briefing, Tom and Antoinette explore what the day means to Indigenous Australians.
What needs to happen for Australia to move forward together.
