Sky News host Steve Price has slammed the “disgraceful snubbing” of our national day following revelations January 26 will not be celebrated at the Australian Open.
“This started last year and ended Australia Day celebrations, they used to feature fireworks, the playing of the national anthem and special musical events to mark the day at the tennis,” Mr Price said.
He said instead there will be a “shameful silence”, which is made so much worse by the fact that the two-week tournament sets aside other days.
“So we have First Nations day, no drama from me about that, then the organisers have set aside a day for Australian Open Pride Day, an Australian Open All Abilities Day and an Australian Open Glam Slam for the LGBTI+ folk that will run across January 26 to 28.
“You can’t make this stuff up.”
He also said welcome to ceremonies are played on the stadium big screens before the start of play every day and night session.

Here in Australia, we do not like aboriginals opening events, it is the F*CKING WOKE WANKERS who decided this, we hate it.
When the globalists get their one world gov, Australia won’t exist.
I’m a proud Australian, and as long as my a$$ points to the ground I’m going to celebrate Australia Day on the 26th . These woke mob lefties can do whatever they want, but don’t push your thoughts onto everyone else. If they think it’s invasion day,how do they know. Were you there over 200 years ago or are you just thinking up another pipe dream. Things were very different back then . The past is the past, leave it and let it be. Get on with life….
It will be the pathetic spineless muppet in the top job of Australia 🇦🇺 he is an Australian disgrace!
The Australian Open should cease and desist on activating for any political storm, they should stick to their lane and speak about sport. Nothing more.
They are flying the pride flag and the aboriginal flag. Two costly minorities!!! Fly our National flag and celebrate the federation of Australia 🇦🇺 26/01
Reason why we are struggling to defend our country? Who wants to risk their lives for a country australians are not proud of and who are constantly bombarded by climate change and identify politics
Celebrate australia day anyway 😅😅Every camera. Every person say Happy Australia Day 🇦🇺 ❤️ 😊 Make organizers look stupid the whole day 😂
Stop calling the event "Australia Open "
Well, that’s the last AO match I will ever watch and the last Peroni I will ever drink.
Tennis Australia should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. I will continue to boycott it and any TV station that promotes it.
Sick and sickening.
Weren't to slow in putting there hand out to get help from the Victorian tax payer's when they needed it where do they think they are
BOYCOTT tennis
That is treason! Australian tax dollars built that facility! How dare they? Can you imagine that happening in the US on the 4th July?
This country is becoming a joke in world opinion!
Pathetic is this anti Australia Day sentiment. Its time we, the majority, fight to keep it.
A question to the objectionists is: If we abolish Jan 26, then what do we replace with?
When looking at the history, perhaps an alternative can be the 1st Constitutional Convention of 1891 but there is no emotional sense of excitement associated with it. A reason could be it was not some big revolution or a significant treaty that concluded some kind of national war.
If the objectionists cannot come up with a reasonable alternative, Jan 26 stays as it is.
I hope people will wave flags everywhere
Unfortunately Australia has fallen to the woke mob and has destroyed an entire countries traditions and culture sooo sad I remember when Australia was a strong and proud country
Tennis…cricket….idiots that run our sport…fuck Labor
