Thor star Chris Hemsworth has urged that Australia Day be changed from January 26.

On the first day of shooting Thor: Love And Thunder in Sydney on Wednesday, the actor Instagrammed a photo of himself with the Gamay dancers of the Gadigal and Bidiagal Nation. He thanked them for their Welcome to Country ceremony and called for the date of Australia Day to be changed .

Indigenous Australians may be just as proud of this country, but many see January 26th as a date signifying the beginning of dispossession, disease epidemics, frontier violence, destruction of culture, exploitation, abuse, separation of families and subjection to policies of extreme social control, he said, while tagging the films director Taika Waititi .

Lets begin the healing and stand together in unity and support with our First Nations people with solidarity and compassion.

He continued: Lets find a date where all Australians can celebrate this beautiful country together.
