Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has led the condemnation of a Melbourne council that voted to drop references to Australia Day and cancel citizenship ceremonies on January the 26th. Mr Turnbull says it is an attack on Australian values. But others have applauded the City of Yarra's decision as a mark of respect for Indigenous people, who say it is not a day for celebration.
