Thousands of Australians attended 'Invasion Day' protests today to support Indigenous Australians during the controversial public holiday.

Australia Day has a controversial history among the Indigenous community, and many people and establishments boycott the holiday.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says the biggest protest of the day happened in Sydney, with thousands of people gathering in Belmore Park to call for the abolition of Australia Day.

Murray Olds also said that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has refused to comment.
