Sky News host Peta Credlin says perhaps the “left” have been too busy “blaming the fires on climate change” to find their usual “voice” to call for the nation to be “embarrassed” to celebrate Australia Day this year. Ms Credlin said the "left" have “a real problem” in acknowledging the history of the nation.
“And herein lies the real problem, a lack of realism about the facts of both our indigenous and non-indigenous history,” Ms Credlin said. The Sky host also praised Alice Springs Councillor Jacinta Price for her recent calls that Australia as a whole, has far more to celebrate than be ashamed of in relation to Australia Day. Ms Credlin said the “good, at least as much as the bad” must be acknowledged within “Indigenous, British and migrant” history within the nation.
