The demonstrations of the day of invasion call to change the date

Groups of people invaded Hyde Park in Sydney this morning, carrying flags and placards to protest Australia's holiday and what it represents.

Hundreds of people have also invaded the streets of Melbourne chanting: "Always, will always be an aboriginal land".

About 600 people began their day serving the dawn of Melbourne's invasion day, recognizing and mourning border wars and killings of natives.

The service at Kings Domain – where the bodies of 38 First Nations people from the Victorian era are buried – included speeches, a minute of silence, a smoking and ocher ceremony, and reading of places of known mbadacres throughout the state.

"This country stops for a horse race, it stops for a big AFL final, it stops for the Queen's birthday and it stops for an Anzac service and we have never had the slightest opportunity to let this country dwell on this country and the pain and suffering we have endured since colonization, "said women Gunnai-Kurnai and Gunditjmara and former Northcote MP Lidia Thorpe.

At the Sydney event, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced this week a multi-million dollar "rediscovery" project to "rediscover" Captain James Cook "collapsed like a lead balloon."

Morrison announced $ 6.7 million in funding for a replica of Captain Cook's famous Endeavor vessel, which will tour Australia for 14 months, going through 39 localities along the coast.

He was crucified on social media as part of the controversial project, which many described as wasteful of money.

The demonstrations that took place today have even reached the United Kingdom, with the sign "Abolish Australia Day" covered with the Westminster Bridge in London.

Thirty protesters waved the banner in front of the bridge as crowds of tourists pbaded by on a cold and cloudy Friday afternoon.

Eda Sehyan, spokesperson for the London-Australia Solidarity Activity Center, said the action was in solidarity with Australia's natives.

People commented on how the day of the invasion events thwart the Australia Day celebrations, indicating that it is time to change the date.

This is a topic of division that arises every year, with The project Waleed Aly, host this week, offers new suggestions.

January 26 marks the 231 year anniversary of the arrival of the first fleet at Port Jackson.

But for a growing community of Australians, this day has become a symbol of unfairness and institutionalized prejudice.

The activists of the day of the invasion dispute that Australia Day applies a false story of an Australia that began that day and forgets an earlier story.
