David Campbell addresses how he had all-white panel discussing Australia Day ... trends now David Campbell has admitted he may have picked the wrong guests to weigh in on the Australia Day 'change the date' controversy - before the segment even aired. The Today Extra host was joined by his co-host Sylvia Jeffreys, and journalists Tom Tilley and Jess Ridley on Friday morning to discuss January 26 and the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament. 'I want to acknowledge the fact we are four white people talking about this so we're not going to speak for the Indigenous people here,' Campbell said before the discussion began. But even with his disclaimer, he and the guests proceeded to unpack the mounting pressure from First Nations people to change the national day of celebration. Footage of some of the Invasion Day protests that were seen across Australia on Thursday were broadcast while Campbell made the admission. He then quickly moved on to ask Tilley about Aboriginal lawyer Teela Reid and her stance on January 26. Poll Do you think the date of Australia Day should be changed? Yes 0 votes No 0 votes Now share your opinion 'She doesn't think we should change the date yet because we don't have anything to celebrate in her eyes,' the former Triple J Hack presenter said. 'She wants us to move forward on something like the Voice, or a Republic before we find a new date to celebrate.' Indigenous leader Warren Mundine said it was 'a bit nutty' the panel didn't feature any First Nations peoples. 'You need a mixture on a panel so you're getting different viewpoints,' he told Daily Mail Australia. 'David is right, it's a bit odd. You can't say you want a voice and put someone else on to try and channel someone else.' Mr Mundine added it was 'healthy' that people from various backgrounds were speaking about such an important topic but said the panel should have been more diverse. 'If they're going to talk about these things, they need to have a serious discussion and they need to have all sides,' he said. The gaffe comes after Sunrise were forced to apologise over a remark about the Stolen Generations during a TV segment in 2018. During the segment, Sam Armytage, commentator Prue MacSween and radio host Ben Davis all took part in the three-way discussion about Aboriginal adoption. David Campbell has addressed the moment he discussed the controversy around the date of Australia Day on a panel without any Indigenous Australians Sunrise host Samantha Armytage (centre) and commentators Prue MacSween (left) and Ben Davis (right) came under fire after a controversial debate over Aboriginal adoption The discussion was sparked after children's minister David Gillespie called on rules prohibiting indigenous children being adopted by non-family members to be relaxed. 'Just like the first stolen generation where a lot of kids were taken for their wellbeing, we need to do it again,' MacSween said in the on-air discussion. The comments ignited protests outside Sunrise's Sydney studio and the Australian Communication and Media Authority found it had breached the Commercial Television Industry Code Of Practice. Sunrise later apologised. 'On 13 March 2018 we aired a segment about alleged child abuse and neglect in Aboriginal communities and statements made by the Assistant Minister for Children and Families about white people adopting Aboriginal children,' the statement read. 'Opinions were expressed during the segment which referred to the stolen generation [sic] and which were offensive to some viewers, including Indigenous Australians. The panel discussed changing the date of Australia and the proposal for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament 'Channel Seven, the Sunrise team and our commentators Prue MacSween and Ben Davis apologise for those comments and the harm they have caused.' Meanwhile, many First Nations communities are split on whether they want the Voice to Parliament or not. Australians will be given the chance to vote on Indigenous recognition in the Constitution and the establishment of an Indigenous body to consult parliament on issues that affect First Nations people. Firebrand Greens Senator and Indigenous rights activist Lidia Thorpe has publicly criticised the move and said Aboriginals deserve to be more than an 'advisory body'. 'We have an opportunity to have a treaty … that could put 10 independent Blak seats in the parliament today. We want real power and we won't settle for anything less,' she said during a rally in Melbourne on Thursday. While on the Channel Nine program, Tilley added that January 26 had become 'uncomfortable' for a lot of Australians who were now unsure on how to celebrate the national holiday. 'I think (Ms Reid) would argue that's a good thing,' he said. Tilley spoke to Ms Reid on an episode of his podcast The Briefing, which aired on Thursday. In the episode, Ms Reid said 'everyday for us is Invasion Day', and that the tension felt on January 26 was not a one-off. 'I personally don't think we can rewrite the fact that this awful history has happened in our nation's story,' she said. 'Australia day as a celebration should be abolished and it should be marked as a day of mourning. 'What's there to celebrate? I don't think Australia has earned the right to celebrate.'
