Harmony Day in 2023

Here's your annual reminder that 'Harmony Day' was created by the Howard Government. For the rest of the world, today is the Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.✊🏾✊🏼✊ And while it's nice to celebrate harmony, we must keep our focus on racism, and how we defeat it. https://t.co/AqlmRYDn0h

Yesterday I wrote about how Australia rebranded the Day for the Elimination of Racism to “Harmony Day” and why it’s a problem. ⁣ ⁣ Today I woke up to being told I should leave Australia and that ‘good immigrants are grateful’ aka shut up. ⁣ But no, we don’t have racism here. https://t.co/uJh3qgGqun

This Harmony Day I call on @AlboMP and @andrewjgiles to speak up against extremism Harmony Day is about celebrating inclusiveness, respect, our multicultural community & acceptance for all people. What we've seen the last few days is the extreme opposite Photo cred China Daily https://t.co/Yfqq83BMfw

“It’s Harmony Day… bring in a plate of ethnic food to have a nice morning tea - just pay no mind to the Nazis marching down the street, or the police protecting them, or the passage of legislation that will disproportionately affect Indigenous youth.” https://t.co/TIPzQXp3Pc https://t.co/q59vJqyv8Q
