With Christmas and New Year out of the way, the next big celebration is Australia Day, but the public holiday is coming under threat.

Mark Latham has launched an ad campaign with Alice Springs Indigenous Counsellor Jacinta Price, which aims to ‘save the date’.

“[They] need to look proactively at the future to solve their problems.

“There was no invasion.

“Changing a date isn’t going to change any of those issues.”
