On Saturday, thousands took to the streets of Brisbane CBD and Southbank to protest and ultimately call to abolish Australia Day.

Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance and Brisbane Aboriginal-Sovereign Embassy organisers led approximately 2000 people from Emma Miller Place to Musgrave Park in South Brisbane.

One organiser Philip Marrii says their wider message is that the Australian colonial project needs to be dismantled and Aboriginal sovereignty must be recognised to respect all people that live in our country.
