Has anyone else noticed the strange omission from the Australia Day advertisement that’s been showing on our tv screens? Take a look:

Apparently, “Australia Day’s your chance to say thanks – for beaches, for lamington drives, for Kylie, and our democratic right to give dead arms”.

But who are we saying thanks to?

There are many good things about Australia.

We know we should give thanks.

It seems (at least based on the sentiment expressed in this ad) that Australians are reluctant to acknowledge that God is actually the one we need to thank for these good things.
