It's that time of year again in Australia! As expected, the debate surrounding the date of Australia Day has been ignited again, by Cricket Australia's decision to ditch references to 'Australia Day' in their Big Bash league. We discuss this issue and its origins and explore a potential generational divide on the issue too. If there is one thing you do this week, please ensure you are listening to those most directly impacted by this conversation - Indigenous Australians.
