Thousands of Australians have participated in 'Invasion Day' rallies across the nation on Australia Day, a holiday marking the arrival of British colonists in 1788. The day has become increasingly contentious, with many in the Indigenous community advocating for the holiday to be abolished or the date to be changed. Protesters gathered at various events, calling for reflection and change, and to support Indigenous Australians who view the day as one of mourning rather than celebration.
