Sky News host Caleb Bond says 2024 has been the year of the left attempting to “rewrite history” with the new push to rename Cooks River in Sydney.
“First it was the health department’s woke move to rename its Sirius building because the name was apparently associated with the First Fleet,” Mr Bond said.
“Then there was a push to rename La Trobe University because of its namesake’s links to Victoria’s colonial history … today we learned of yet another idiotic proposal to rename … Sydney’s Cooks River.”

Will this crap ever end or is this the new normal?
They just won't stop rewriting history, will they?
F the whole WOKE MOVEMENT and anyone who supports it
Sack the idiots making the wrong decisions instead.
If you don't like it please leave
When will this stop…..they named pitt street station gadigal, when will it stop, what must we do to stop this…….someone?, anyone?….this just furthers the division and the 'gap' that i a divide…
Crooks river is well suited
Renaming and tearing down statues does nothing for reconciliation!!
You cannot change history nor should you!
To the victors go the spoil
The victors also get to write the history at the time it's happening
Or in this particular instance in history rewrite
It's just a shame that they've almost won without a fight
Get ready for a 5 syllable, unpronounceable indigenous name,
and people still just call it Cooks river.
Wtf… Leftists losing the plot again?
They're trying to take our country from us, under a week guise. I wS born here and it's cooks river.
Call it Mumbai River o Modie RIver to match the sleezy big australia
Coming soon to Australia it will be illegal to use the work “cook” in relation to do with anything involving food

This has to stop.
It will always be Cooks River to me. Besides, I thought the Aboriginals didn't actually have written language until about 1930! How would they know what the heck anything was called!
Australia seems to have joined the modern day fetish of Western countries to build its own funeral pyre.
Fozzie Bear " Ahhhhhh the big blue wet thing"
Itts erosion and while your distracted with this …(eg. Canada has removed John A McDonald.first PM history)..you don't notice bigger changes
No. This name Cooks River should be left as is.
Ku ring Gai council removed the Phillip statue on the highway at Gordon 4 years ago due to an upgrade that never happened.
You’re joking! This woke commie left thing is beyond pathetic. They have an agenda to end western values and replace them with commie pedo cancer culture s#!t!!!!! Time to stand up against this agenda!
40,000 land claims wasn’t it?
Also, how about being greeted by the Aboriginal Reconciliation Plan when visiting the site of a Maritime Museum etc
so that’s why they named it, Cooks River. Because he was a bad person, all along. You and your viewers are f………———-in——-g stupid if you can’t come up with something so simple. You sit there like you’re in judgment of, Cook. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Cook didn’t have a right to exist. And the news reporter here acts like he’s conceding, on behalf of everybody else. This is why Trump is such an a———hole. And his son. They’re just publicity seekers along with b-d-n. Fact of the matter is you’re a bunch of angry people in the comments section. Fact of the matter remains, if someone was evil and they named something after him, that’s a bunch of BBB—-SSS.
If there was no 'written' Indigenous language how do they know how to spell these new names?
The cancer of virtue-singling politics.
Leave the names as they are, this country is big enough to fit everyone in👍✅
Why not write James Cook right out of Australian history – just rewrite it as discovered by King Billy Coke Bottle.
What language do we now have to learn???.??stop the madness…Disgusting
