Talk:David Day (historian)

Tony Rodi (talk) 00:30, 13 December 2016 (UTC) Hi David Day I found you under the category of Wikipedians in Sydney, with particular interest in you being a historian. Please excuse me if this seems to be an intrusion on your talk page. This is my Wikipedian Editor user page:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tony_Rodi, which I have been compiling in recent years. The object of interest is my claim in having had an exclusive role along with my now deceased associate, Paul Henry Johnson, in the most significant cultural and historic urban developments in Australia. Unfortunately, politics and vested interests have dominated with propaganda to keep this history well hidden from public view. My association with Lionel Todd ( now deceased), of Hall ,Todd and Littlemore, Stage 3 Sydney Opera House Architects, in relation to the East Circular Quay (Sydney Opera House Precinct), is largely unknown as is Peter Hall's true role in the completion of the Sydney Opera House. For what it’s worth, and In time, I’ll be expanding my Wikipedia page to accomodate some salient truths regarding the New Parliament House in Canberra , the Landing Site of the First Fleet, and East Circular Quay. The purpose being, to provide a better balance between historical facts and politically generated propaganda, deception and corruption.

On the 26th of January every year Australia Day celebrates the landing of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove, with the subsequent flag raising ceremony by Captain Arthur Phillip. The basement carpark under a 44 storey tower is hardly the most appropriate location for this most historic site. This anomaly was perpetrated by those who wish to not only bury this history, but would gladly sever ties with our European origins for profits, justified as political correctness.

Note:- From my user page which is under construction.

"1981 Major Submission To Sydney City Council for The Gateway Site. ie The Landing Site Of the First Fleet (26th of January 1788) where Captain Arthur Phillip raised the Flag on the first Australia Day.

Submission by the Quayhole Committee

Paul Johnson and Tony Rodi The Gateway proposal relocated development off the site, which would be restored to a naturalistic shoreline with original Tank Stream inlet in a Memorial Park. There it was proposed to enact a treaty between the Aboriginal people and the Australian Government.

The actual landing site is now located in the basement carpark of a 44 storey commercial tower built by the Hooker Corporation. A flag commemorating Captain Arthur Phillip's declaration of the establishment of the new British Colony is located at the bus stop adjacent to Customs House, Circular Quay. Australia Day commemorates the landing and establishment of the colony on the 26th of January, 1788. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Day"

Supporters. Jack Mundey who was elected to Sydney Council as representative of Gipps Ward on 14 April 1984 and served until 1987. He was chairman of the Planning committee from May 1984 to September 1985.

Peter Collins New South Wales State opposition leader of the Liberal Party, opposing Labor Premier Neville Wran, and Bob Carr, Minister for Planning and Environment.

Sincerely Tony Rodi
