SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 26: Protestors in the Domain participate in the ‘Invasion Day’ Rally on January 26, 2021 in Sydney, Australia. Current COVID-19 restrictions limit protests to 500 people in the greater Sydney area. A last minute bid for an exception to this rule in the supreme court was denied, leaving those attending today vulnerable to fines and arrest. Australia Day, formerly known as Foundation Day, is the official national day of Australia and is celebrated annually on January 26 to commemorate the arrival of the First Fleet to Sydney in 1788. Indigenous Australians refer to the day as 'Invasion Day' and there is growing support to change the date to one which can be celebrated by all Australians. (Photo by Brook Mitchell/Getty Images)
