I am working Monday, it’s the day before our dress rehearsal (parallel three) starts for the system so it’ll be good to be on hand to support managers but also, I never take a public holiday on #InvasionDay unless I’m forced to. I’m happy to see more and more companies offering not taking it as a holiday as an option

Hey folks in Australia, here is a handy list of all the Invasion Day events planned for this weekend cityhub.com.au/invasion-day-20 #Australia #InvasionDay

January 26th is #InvasionDay - If you can, please stand as an #ally with #Aboriginal and #TorresStraitIslander Australians.

Once again on invasion day the esteemed establishment I work for has boldly decided to ... say nothing. Brave, so brave.
#InvasionDay #AusPol

In the spirit of respect and reflection, we will remain silent on our social media channels on January 26, recognising the weight of this date and the emotions it evokes for many. This is a gesture of reflection, to make space to listen and to learn, and to recognise the continuing impacts of our history.

I'm off to Hobart soon to play in a chess tournament over this long weekend. Besides the chess, it means I'll avoid the BBQ's and beers brigade on Monday, and I'll also avoid the crowds of Foo Fighter fans who are going to be all over Launceston tomorrow.

As far as I'm concerned, the fooer the people the better, and most can Fook right off.

I'm taking Monday off not for Invasion Day, but to celebrate that time there was a military coup d'état because the new head of state was threatening their monopoly on selling drugs.
Happy Yoiking Governor Bligh Out From Under the Bed Day to those that celebrate it.

Invasion Day Rally 2026 – Naarm/Melbourne

2026-01-26T11:00:00 (Australia/Melbourne)

When

11:00am Monday 26 January

Where

Victorian Parliament House
Spring St
Melbourne VIC 3000
Australia

Why

Invasion Day Rally Melbourne on Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung Lands.

January 26 is not a day to celebrate.

It is a day of invasion — and a day of survival, resistance, and mourning. It is a day we come together to tell the truth and demand justice.

On Invasion Day, we rally to stand with First Nations peoples across this continent and demand:

  • Freedom for our peoples, lands and waters
  • Treaty and truth for our old people and for future generations
  • Justice for babies and kids so they can grow up safe, loved, and free

An end to deaths in custody, forced removals, and ongoing violence from systems built on invasion.

Join us on our annual day of protest for First Nations peoples across this continent.

What to bring:

  • Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander flags
  • A deadly banner (we see them and love them btw)
  • Invite 5 friends and family to come with you

In solidarity,
Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance

For updates check the Facebook event.

Organising guide

Invasion Day is about coming together. Aunties, kids, workers, students and neighbours all walking side by side for truth and justice.

We made this Organising Guide so you do not have to do it alone.
Whether you can put up one poster, host a banner night or bring five friends, it all matters.

"I came from the UK in the 10 pound era. I and my wife got naturalised on Australia Day. I’m 94 yo and this day is a special day. We treat it like our wedding anniversary. Have voted Labor since I arrived. Will not vote for you again if you change the date."

dear john, you're a fuckhead of the first order, jfc. it is not about you, you tin-eared turd on legs. the selfishness, cruelty, & let-them-eat-cake-ism of your post is appalling. pls do go & fuck off.

Arguably one of the most important expressions of protest in the Australian Calendar.

Banning it wouldn’t be very wise

PLEASE SHARE TO ALL YOUR NETWORKS especially friends who care but haven't got involved yet
#survivalDay rallies have been growing for years and are making a huge impact to building solidarity to fix the injustices from #colonisation and #racism
We need to keep growing this event and show that the people who care vastly outnumber the people trying to reinforce racism with their own rallies

“Whether the date is changed or not, I’m standing proud as an Aboriginal woman and my identity doesn’t shift with the calendar. My pride doesn’t depend on a public holiday. My connection to Culture, Country, and community is constant, strong, and unshakeable.” - Gael Duff
