FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Chickens will be hurled, thongs will be thrown and music will ring out, as revellers gather at more than 5000 Australia Day events across NSW.

Alcohol bans will be in place at Coogee and Clovelly beach areas in the eastern suburbs throughout the day.
The ban will apply from sunset on Wednesday to sunrise on Friday between Trenerry Reserve south of Coogee Beach and Burrows Park north of Clovelly Beach.
Randwick Mayor Scott Nash said the ban would create a safe and family-friendly environment.
“There’s no shortage of places to have a drink on Australia Day – but we are trying to create a safe and fun environment for everybody,” he said.
Free entertainment for the family will take place throughout the day, Mr Nash added.
