Australia Day: People are getting facts wrong, says Jason Gillespie
Former Australia fast bowler Jason Gillespie has said people who oppose a possible date change to Australia Day are not aware of a key historical fact. Australia Day which is celebrated on January 26 has come under criticism from Indigenous community as it marks the arrival of the first fleet in 1788. In recent times there has been lot of chorus about changing the date and Gillespie who has indigenous roots said that the argument that January 26 is the only appropriate date to celebrate Australia Day is wrong. 'What I find interesting is that when a lot of people defend Australia Day being on January 26 they say 'it has always been January 26', he told News Corp. 'That's factually incorrect. You go over history and that has not been the only day Australia has celebrated Australia Day.' Gillespie's argument is backed by facts. Its only since January 26, 1994 that all states and territories in have incorporated to celebrate Australia Day on the said date. Before 1994, certain states and territories staged celebrations on the Monday closest to the date. Also, the first official Australia Day celebrated in 1915 was on July 30. It was a way to raise much needed funds during World War I. 'It (January 26) is seen as a day of genuine and deep sadness for Indigenous Australians and not seen as a day to celebrate. If it creates such sadness (for many people) on such an important day of the year – and it has been moved before – surely there must be 300 or more days Australia could look at which could be a great day for everyone to celebrate,' Gillespie said. In Australia's rich cricketing history there have been only two cricketers from Indigenous background to play Test cricket. Gillespie was the first and more recently Scott Boland became the second. 'I naively assumed that I couldn't possibly have been the first,' he told ABC Radio Adelaide a few years ago. 'With our rich, multicultural history in our country, with so many people from so many diverse backgrounds, I just assumed there must have been lots of [Indigenous] cricketers and lots of sportspeople.'

India-origin man dies days after Australian police allegedly knelt on his neck
A 42-year-old man of Indian origin died days after an Australian police officer allegedly knelt on his neck during an attempted arrest, a media report said on Sunday (June 15, 2025). Gaurav Kundi from Modbury North in Adelaide died surrounded by his family on Thursday (June 12, 2025) after he was hospitalised for an 'unrecoverable' brain injury, 7News Australia reported. Police attempted to arrest Kundi on Payneham Road at Royston Park, alleging that it had witnessed an 'altercation' between him and a woman. The video footage of the incident showed Kundi being forced by the police, while he and his wife, Amritpal Kaur, loudly protested. 'I've done nothing wrong,' Kundi shouted while Ms. Kaur filmed the incident and cried out that the police were acting unfairly. Kundi was rushed to a hospital after his condition declined, and he 'became unresponsive' during the attempted arrest. The police said Kundi violently resisted the arrest and was intoxicated. They said the couple were allegedly arguing, and a passing patrol reportedly mistook the incident for domestic violence. However, Ms. Kaur said her husband was simply drunk and loud, not violent. Meanwhile, South Australian Police Commissioner Grant Stevens told ABC Radio Adelaide they would investigate the incident in addition to a probe by detectives of the internal investigation section. The inquiry would review South Australian police's policies, practices and procedures, including training in relation to responding to incidents. The South Australian police said no one was shot, and no police taser was deployed at the scene. The media have compared the arrest to the George Floyd case in the U.S. in 2020. Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, who pressed his knee and the weight of his body against the 46-year-old Black American man's neck.
