The darker side of human nature and of the Australian character get a searing going over in this outstanding, topical, compelling drama designed to make you feel and think deeper about the underside of Australian life. Superbly directed by Kriv Stenders.

Graffiti With Punctuation

"Australia Day" is stuck in an interconnecting formula that propagates stereotypes, and wedges gaps between racial tribes that no closing montage can correct.

Daily Telegraph (Australia)

Initially, the story is carried along by the momentum of its characters. But when they run out of steam, so does the screenplay.

It holds a mirror up to contemporary Australian society and offers those unfamiliar with its tensions a relatively factual dramatic experience.
