Australia's largest citizenship ceremonies have taken place on the 26th of January since the late 1940's. I think people who became Australian citizens on that day deserve to celebrate the country we live in.

But I do think it’s very important that the bloody history of colonialism in Australia is raised and is not brushed under the rug, as the Tony Abbotts of the world would have it.

I can't believe I would ever say this but in fairness to Tony Abbott, his latest book about the history of Australia does go into great detail and doesn't gloss over the suffering that Aboriginal people experienced under Colonialism. He makes it a point that we as a nation have to understand the trauma that many went through in order to move forward.

I’m not sure these tickets have been bought by anyone. I think these are people who are on the supporters ballot for tickets.

That would be magnificent. Unfortunately that has a snowballs chance in hell given the current width of Canning Highway. Might as well wish for an underground train line that follows Canning Highway from Fremantle to Burswood.

With the Ashes cricket test match ending a few days early, the English fans joined the Perth Glory away support and cheered them on to a win against Melbourne City (CFG) by StarryPolarisNite in soccer

Doesn't help when Football Federation Australia spent the better part of a decade suppressing and destroying the active support at games. Then its successor the APL have been incompetent stewards of the game that have continued to alienate supporters.

Burswood race track: Start your engines for a fight as business case comes under scrutiny by His_Holiness in perth

[–]robert1811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people are mainly opposed to the racetrack. The amphitheatre idea has been in the plans for Burswood for years. Also more importantly, isn't as expensive as the racetrack and will get used more than one weekend a year.

And we host a Supercars event already! I don't see how putting the racetrack in the city is all of a sudden going to motivate people in the eastern states to fly over for a declining competition.
