Bonnie Sveen hates Australia Day

Home and Away star Bonnie Sveen hopes this is the last Australia Day we’ll ever celebrate.

The 27-year-old Tasmania native took to Instagram early this morning to voice her thoughts about why we need to create a “new National Day” that’s inclusive of Aboriginal people.

“For what it's worth, I hope that this is the last Australia Day held on the day we invaded your country,” she captioned an image of an Aboriginal flag-coloured map of Australia.

“May the new National Day be inclusive of you, acknowledge our unjust history and work to reconcile the injustices of your present,” she wrote.

The Logie award-winning actress, best known for her role as Ricky Sharp on the beloved Aussie TV series, continued to voice her opinion about why she believes “Today belongs to the Original Owners.”

“I recognise that the European settlement (my ancestors) tore apart your families, treated you brutally and stole your sacred land,” she wrote, adding that she acknowledges this still affects the lives of Aboriginal people today and shouldn’t be denied or forgotten.

“I want you to know that I am sorry for the blood spilled, the unimaginable trauma caused and boundaries crossed.

“I am Australian; I call this country my home, I adore it and do my best to care for it, but I would never claim to know what you know about this land and it's Spirit.

“May you be respected and honoured by all today, especially non Indigenous Australians.

“May your voice be heard, your leaders and Elders listened to and the power they took way, returned,” she concluded the powerful speech.

The Secret Daughter actress applauded the TV show for being culturally inclusive, casting an indigenous actress Jessica Mauboy, 27, as their main character.

“It's been a long time coming and too long a wait, but it was an exciting prospect for me to be a part of something on commercial television with a female Aboriginal lead,” she told WHO.

“It's really important to me that all communities, particularly Indigenous, are represented onscreen and show that you can grow up and be whatever you want.”
