Tens of thousands of Australians protested over the treatment of Indigenous people on Sunday.
Demonstrators take part in the annual “Invasion Day” protest march through the streets of Melbourne as a group of Indigenous dance on Australia Day on January 26, 2025. Tens of thousands of Australians protested over the treatment of Indigenous people as the country celebrated a national holiday marking the 1788 arrival of British colonisers.
For many Australians, it is a day to celebrate with friends and family at beaches and backyard barbecues. “When white people came to Australia, black people started dying. Like, why do you choose that day? It’s insane, I don’t understand,“ protester Andrew Baker told AFP.“It’s about changing the date, but it’s more about making people aware of our injustices that have been since and still ongoing since white man came,“ Miller told AFP.
