Australia urged to stop apologising and embrace national pride like the US
Narrative Analysis: Glittering Generalities
Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus believes Australians should take inspiration from the US and stop apologising for celebrating their national day. “I think it’s so sad that every year we have to have the same old tired debate about changing the date, their protest marches, even though they’re not representative, as we know from poll after poll of the majority view,” Ms Marcus said. “Australians do support Australian Day; they do want to keep it on January 6. “So many people have this guilt and this feeling of shame over the day.”

On This Special July 4, Celebrate With America's Diverse, Inspiring World Cup Team
