Australia Day has been compared to celebrating the Nazi holocaust by a Melbourne councillor who voted to scrap the event over fears it offended Aboriginal people.
Moreland City Council, in Melbourne‘s inner-north, voted to drop all references to January 26 as Australia Day two weeks ago, becoming the third Melbourne council to ditch the celebration.
Socialist Alliance councillor Sue Bolton said ‘it would be like celebrating the Nazi holocaust’ at the council’s meeting on Wednesday night.
