January 26 is Australia Day. The anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the British First Fleet, and a day that kicked off a multi-century struggle for Australia’s indigenous people.
It has become a contentious date on the Australian calendar, and many people just aren’t sure how to feel about it. Heck, even Triple J’s hottest 100 felt the ick and moved to January 27.
