SA council cancels public meeting to discuss whether they should bring back Australia Day

A South Australian council has cancelled a public meeting meant to engage the community to discuss whether they should bring back Australia Day events. Adelaide Hills Council rejected a motion to have community consultation about Australia Day events after a meeting on Tuesday night. “We told you last night in the papers segment about Adelaide Hills Council of course in South Australia where they were planning to hold a public meeting where they would discuss whether or not they should hold events on Australia Day,” says Sky News host Caleb Bond. “Now the Adelaide Hills Council made a decision last year to move away from Australia Day events so they don’t have any fireworks, they don’t have citizenship ceremonies, etcetera. “At their council meeting last night they decided they would not have a public meeting to discuss whether or not they should bring back Australia Day.”
