Sydney council moves to scrap Australia Day celebrations in favour of Aboriginal Yabun festival

A local council in Sydney will vote next week on a proposal to change the way January 26 is marked to better reflect the views of Indigenous Australians.

Mayor Darcy Byrne says the plan is to encourage people to attend the Yabun Festival to learn more about the meaning of January 26 for Aboriginal people. Source: Facebook/YabunFestival
