As we wave goodbye to another year of the Annual Festival of Lefty Hate, aka Australia Day, it’s becoming clear that the left’s unhinged attacks on our national day are backfiring badly. Support for keeping 26 January as the national holiday are climbing and is now at record highs since polling began.
The more the left scream and rage, the fewer and fewer people are listening to them.
Support for January 26 has climbed steadily in the past three years in exclusive polls for this masthead conducted by Resolve Political Monitor. Only 47 per cent backed the date in January 2023, but 56 per cent supported it in January 2024, shortly after the failed Voice to parliament referendum.
It’s almost as if the more the left peddle their ugly, divisive, hateful race politics, the more Australians reject them.
Now, 68 per cent back the current national day despite the objections of indigenous Australians to celebrating the nation on the day the First Fleet arrived in Sydney Cove and colonisation began.
Across all demographics, majority support for Australia Day is growing. Even amongst the young and most thoroughly brainwashed by the left, the 18–34 cohort, a clear majority is back keeping the date. Twice as many young Australians want to keep 26 January than want to change it.
Even the lefty Big Day Out is dying in the arse.
The estimated number of people attending the annual Invasion Day marches in major cities has also declined. In 2019, 50,000 people marched in Melbourne and about 40,000 in Sydney, while tens of thousands rallied in other capital cities. Last year, crowds at Melbourne and Sydney’s rallies were estimated at half that size, 25,000.
This year, they fell even lower, especially in Sydney. At this rate, in a few years it’ll be down to a handful of white folks in borrowed possum-skin cloaks arguing over who gets to do the smoking ceremony.
It’s not just the Resolve poll. Veteran pollster Roy Morgan is finding near identical results.
A special Roy Morgan SMS Poll on Australia Day, January 26, shows 72% of Australians now say the date should stay as ‘Australia Day’ – up 3.5% from two years ago. Only 28% (down 3.5%) say January 26 should be called ‘Invasion Day’.
An increased majority of Australians say Australia Day should not be moved from January 26, 60.5% (up 2% from 2024) compared to 39.5% (down 2%) say the date should be moved – according to a special Roy Morgan SMS Poll conducted with an Australia-wide cross-section of 1,311 Australians aged 18+ from Wednesday January 14 – Friday January 16, 2026 [...]
Roy Morgan Chief Executive Officer Michele Levine says:
“This is the highest support for Australia Day recorded by Roy Morgan. There is majority support for Australia Day retaining its name and date across all age groups, genders, and all States.
As with everything else, the starkest divide is between the elite ‘progressive’ class and the rest of Australia. On the centre-right, support for Australia Day is near-unanimous (99 per cent for coalition supporters and 97 per cent for One Nation voters). But even on the left, a growing majority of ALP supporters want to keep the date.
Only the lunar-left Greens are in favour of the ‘Invasion Day’ hate.
If the matter were put to referendum, it would be defeated even more decisively than the ‘Voice’.
Large majorities of Australians in all six States say January 26 should be known as ‘Australia Day’ with the largest proportion in favour in Queensland (78.5%), Western Australia (75.5%), and South Australia (74%). The closest result is in Victoria with 65% saying January 26 should be known as ‘Australia Day’.
When it comes to people’s reasons for supporting the date or wanting it changed, the differences are even more stark.
One group is proud of the country generations of Australians have built, historic warts and all. The other groups openly hates this country. Yet, they still choose to live here.
But, hey, let them keep up with their annual fiesta of foot-stamping, crying, moaning and tantrums. They’re only reminding more and more Australians of what we have to be proud of.
