Conservative politicians are dominating Facebook advertising about changing the date of Australia Day, analysis shows.
After Woolworths announced last week that it would no longer stock Australia Day merchandise due to declining demand, the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, condemned the move as an “outrage” born from the retailer’s “woke agenda” and said most Australians likely thought the same.
Now several conservative politicians are paying for advertisements on social media platforms lobbying against changing the date.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fair call I guess. I don’t really care one way or another. But if you wanted to move the existing date rather than making a second it seems like a choice that might prove popular with people who don’t want the date to move currently.
