About this listen

January 26 is one of the most debated dates in Australia’s history. Often described as the nation’s birthday, the day marks neither the formal founding of the colony nor the creation of the Commonwealth. Instead, it reflects a layered history shaped by colonisation, political decisions, and ongoing First Nations resistance. Understanding what actually happened on January 26 reveals why the date is experienced so differently across the country. - Amajjii 26 seenaa Australia keessatti guyyoota falmisiisaa ta’an keessaa isa tokko. Yeroo hedduu guyyaa dhalootaa sabaa jedhamee kan ibsamu guyyaan kun hundeeffamuu sirna koloniis ta’e uumamuu Commonwealth kan agarsiisu miti. iddoo isaa garuu, tartiiba seenaa koloneeffannaadhaan, murtii siyaasaa fi diddaa Saboota Duraa itti fufee jiruun bocamuu calaqqisiisa. Waan qabatamaan Amajjii 26 ta'e hubachuun guyyaan kun maaliif guutuu biyyattiitti keessatti haalli addaa akka callaqqisu mul'sa.
