Re: Happy Australia Day!

I had to work on Australia Day doing a tour for international tourists along with another driver, both of us having tour guides providing running commentry.
My guide spoke about the holiday and touched very briefly on the recent politics surrounding it which I found appropriate and respectful to both sides of the debate, however, my colleague said his guide was completely opposite and spent much of the first hour referring to it as invasion day whilst using words like 'slaughtering' and 'murdering' which he found not only distressing but also embarassing as it wasnt well received by the paying tourists who were looking for a positive experience.
