Thousands of demonstrators marched through the city on Australia Day, to protest against the treatment of Aboriginal people and the celebration of Australia Day on January 26 because it marked a "day of killing" rather than the birth of a nation. Ken Canning, one of the organisers of the Invasion Day rally, said people were waking up to the scam of Australia Day. "(Today) we'll have thousands marching with us under the banner of Invasion Day," he said. The Sydney Invasion Day rally just turned violent. Thousands also gathered at Parliament House in Melbourne and outside the Queensland parliament in Brisbane ahead of the annual "Invasion Day" march.
