Tomorrow is January 26 and for many that means a day off work to have a bbq with friends, maybe some fireworks or a trip to the beach with family.

But for many, January 26 represents a day of pain and suffering for First Nations People.

In this episode of The Quicky, we discuss the ongoing debate surrounding the 26th of January. The historical significance of the date, its impact on First Nations Australians and the growing conversations around Australia Day.
