SYDNEY — Thousands of Australians marked the country's national holiday on Thursday with rallies in support of the nation's Indigenous people, many of whom describe the anniversary of the day a British fleet sailed into Sydney Harbour as "Invasion Day".
Similar actions were scheduled in other Australian state capitals, including in South Australia's Adelaide where around 2,000 people attended, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. "Let us all recognise the unique privilege that we have to share this continent with the world's oldest continuous culture," Albanese said.
