The anti-Australian Broadcasting Corporation promotes ‘invasion day’

MEDIA SHAME FILE

Outlet: ABC News (Australian state media)

Headline: Invasion Day rallies are going ahead: Here’s what they mean for First Peoples

Summary: The ABC does this every year, but this time we thought we’d take a closer look.

What we have here is an article that uses far-left extremist anti-Australian language in the form of an “explainer” to tell Australians using their own taxes that their country doesn’t really belong to them, here’s how they do it:

• The article incorrectly capitalises “invasion day”, which gives it legitimacy and suggests that it is an actual national day, when it isn’t. It’s not a proper noun, there is no such day, and the taxpayer-funded national broadcaster should not be trying to write it into existence.
• The article encourages people to attend anti-Australian rallies on January 26, where left-wing extremists hold antiwhite signs such as “watch out White people” and “White people are an invasive species”, call for the abolition and even “death” of Australia, and for race-based land seizures. What we have here is an extraordinary situation where a state media outlet is openly calling for the destruction of the state it is supposed to represent.
• The article uses the terms “First Nations” and “First Peoples”, interchangeably. These are modern ahistorical terms imported from leftists in North America, and are used to elevate aboriginal people, or anyone who claims to be aboriginal no matter how White they are, above the rest of the population. Aboriginals come “first”, you come second, or third, or last. This ties in to the “sovereignty never ceded” claims made by anti-Australian activists who want to abolish the country and take your land for themselves. The use of these terms implies that aboriginals have sovereignty, and you don’t. Hence its use in placed like “Camp Sovereignty” in Melbourne, where aboriginal activists are trying to seize a public park.
• The article refers to Sydney as “Gadigal” and “Gadigal Land”. This is also ahistorical, and inaccurate (there is no such place as Gadigal and the ABC should not pretend there is), and is yet another attempt to normalise far-left language and concepts, and assert aboriginal sovereignty over Australia. The use of “Gadigal Land” is particularly offensive, and dangerous, as it declares that the land belongs to the so-called Gadigal people instead of all Australians.
• The article uses the term “Blak”. This is a far-left aboriginal activist slang term that implies the word “black” is racist, and gives away the biases of the three journalists responsible for the article.
• The article claims that aboriginal people have an “ongoing connection to Country (sic)”. This is another far-left claim with no scientific basis. “Country” should not be capitalised, and there is no evidence that aboriginal people have any deeper a connection to the land than White Australians who have been here for hundreds of years do. This concept is used to justify land claims, and again, to assert aboriginal sovereignty over the rest of us.
• The article goes on to claim that this so-called connection to the land persists despite “historical policies that were established to ‘assimilate’ them into a ‘European’ way of life”. Again, there is no evidence for this, and the implication is that the European “way of life” is negative and unsuitable for aboriginal people, which only makes sense if you believe that aboriginals have sovereignty over the country and that Australia should be abolished, which these activists do.
• The article perpetuates the myth of aboriginal deaths in custody. We call it a myth because statistics show aboriginals are actually underrepresented in this regard. This is important, as deaths in custody are routinely advanced as evidence for claims that aboriginals are victims of systemic racism, and/or mistreated by the White population. In reality, aboriginals are less likely to die in custody, but more likely to be imprisoned – because they commit more crimes.

This article, replete with factual errors, false claims and far-left language, should never have been published by the ABC, which is supposed to represent all Australians and be politically neutral.

It’s an attempt to legitimise and normalise a left-wing extremist anti-Australian view of Australia and Australia Day, and brainwash the population into hating their own country.

All of the above language should be vigorously rejected by everyday Australians. You must refuse to use any of these terms, and object to their use whenever possible.

Key quote: “The protests remind Australians of the country’s origins and First Peoples’ (sic) survival and ongoing connection to Country (sic), despite historical policies that were established to ‘assimilate’ them into a ‘European’ way of life.”
