Meeting at 10am at Parliament House, Brisbane's Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance (WARA) will be rallying to draw attention to the many legitimate concerns that come with Australia's national day of celebration. After speeches on George Street, the rally will march to Musgrave Park in West End to light the sacred fire, and enjoy food and live music. Everyone is welcome.
The WARA Invasion Day March is one of several happening around the country on January 26. The gatherings aim to address not only the date of the country's festivities and their painful historical basis for Indigenous Australians, but also wider issues faced by the community.
