The first-ever united national celebration.

Meat and Livestock Australia has spent years creating Lamb ads around Australia Day. However, our national day has become increasingly divisive, since for Aboriginal Australians it marks the arrival of Europeans. It’s one of our country’s biggest issues today. So we decided to use our visibility around Australia Day to start a national conversation around a united celebration for all Australians.
