What about an Australian Long Weekend?

For many, January 26 is a day of reflection, not celebration. It is a day of survival for First Nations people, and for many, a placeholder that highlights the ongoing colonial violence that continues to manifest throughout the nation.

Clothing The Gaps have teamed up with Australia Long Weekend to bring about a small but meaningful shift regarding January 26, a change that offers a practical, unifying alternative – one that reduces harm and respects the lived experiences of First Nations communities.

Phil Jenkyn from Australia Long Weekend joined 2SER Breakfast to discuss the question: What about an Australian Long Weekend?
