I am not surprised by Tom Holland’s comments. How about we call them raping and torturing gangs? Grooming is such a euphemistic word.
Australia is a great place to live and I am tired of being made to feel that it a terrible place because of a few sad events in the past. We are not responsible for what our ancestors did. But this place of tolerance and freedom will end up like Europe and the UK if we don’t stop importing adherents to a religion that doesn’t tolerate our judeo Christian heritage.
I'm really fed up with this questioning of Australia Day and pandering to minorities. The British Isles were invaded and taken over by the Roman Empire, then Vikings carried out invasions. The Romans brought road construction and buildings that are still around now, they also developed clean water distribution and sewerage drains. The Romans and Vikings made Britain stronger which is why it was able to defend itself so many times, including 2 world wars. Colonisation was what happened, whether it was tribal in the early days to global in the middle ages and onwards. Show me a country colonised by the British that hasn't done very well and is a free democracy now (Australia, NZ, USA, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong until they handed back as agreed). Look at countries colonised by the likes of Spain, Portugal, France, Holland etc.? Show me one that has done well! Would the Vietnam war have happened if the French had got the hell out of Vietnam?
Stop dwelling in the past and celebrate the Australia we have, free, lucky and wealthy, but it won't be if we keep continuing down this path of negativity. The British haven't sat around whinging and demanding reparations, they just got on with life.
I remember during the benighted covid period that our church had a speaker from south Asia who talked about the severe repression in his country. Christianity was illegal he said yet churches met in secret. People clapped...
I told the pastor sfterwards I was utterly disgusted in our church as the pastors had shut the church during much of covid. Did they not understand that our faith tells us to always meet? Something not lost on the repressed in South Asia.
The point of the story here is that people in this country need to stop complying with wrong laws. Don't "comply then complain" . Instead just dont comply and then complain as well.
I hope the vibe shift brings with it a great scepticism in governments. Nearly all our so called leaders are unworthy and the fact we have a large number supporting censorship is evil. Roll on the vibe....
I am an indigenous (white) Australian, born and bred several decades ago in this beautiful part of the universe. Thanks be to GOD, for the earth is His and everything in it. He moved the Brits in their days of trial, to seek new lands to develop, work and habitate;; and to educate do have a rich history to celebrate - and to teach our our young people.

The Left always wants their side of the story to be the only one as they cannot stand up to scrutiny.
Thanks John. A little off topic.
