Continued thread

March 3rd 1986 was the date that the Australia Act took effect.

Prior to that, the Australian constitution was an Act of British Parliament we couldn’t change without the assent of the English House of Commons, and Australian High Court cases could be appealed to the British Privy Council.

So we weren’t in charge of our own constitution or our own court system. We weren’t independent from Britain in any meaningful way.

That changed with the passage of the Australia Act. Thirty nine years ago. That’s how old we are as an independent country.

March 3rd should be a public holiday marking our national Independence Day.

We choose to celebrate our formation as an English jail instead, and the main reason we do it is belligerent unselfconscious completely normalized racism against Indigenous Australians, baked into the very fabric of our colonist culture.

January 26th, aka Bogan Mardi-Gras. Welcome I guess. Glad to see all the good people of Vic, Qld, Tas, SA and WA having a festival day to celebrate NSW’s special day.

Sorry, First Nations people of Australia. First one since the bigotry vote last year must be a bit more bitter than usual. Continuous sovereignty, never ceded. Treaty now.

Happy Republic Day, India. Australia’s marking the day NSW became an English jail, you’re having a holiday for fucking off the British and forming your own government.

(Our Independence Day anniversary is March 3rd, but nobody pays any attention to that at all, or even knows what it is)
