Both retailers of the product, Adli and Big W, and thousands of bloggers agree that it is rascist.

Click here.

Quote:

A second supermarket giant has ditched a line of Australia Day T-shirts with an identical slogan to the "inflammatory" and "culturally insensitive" shirts Aldi has agreed to abandon.

Big W has confirmed that it has taken two styles of shirts with the words "Australia Est. 1788" off their racks this morning.

A spokeswoman said the department store would not be commenting further on its decision to ditch the shirts and that the reason for the move should be obvious.

"We've removed the shirts from sale this morning," she said.

Another example of the vocal minority dictating terms to the majority!

Or another example of racism nipped in the bud. The irony is that you cannot see it while almost everyone else can.

That's just you opinion that most people don't agree with. I couldn't imagine getting upset about a t shirt? How pitiful is that.

They can ban as many t shirts as they like it won't stop what people talk about at home. Why bother?

South Australians were all free pommy settlers that rocked on in after all the hard work had been done. They never had to fight off the aborigines .

I thought it quite obvious...that, in this matter, you almost stand as a one person minority. You are also someone who only has a 'transmit' button. You either do not listen, or nothing will shake you from your determined position, no matter how dumb that might be.

Carry on, Dude.
