Home and Away's Lincoln Younes and ABC star Costa Georgiadis lead celebrities protesting Australia Day as they attend 'Invasion Day' march in Sydney
Home and Away actor Lincoln Younes and ABC star Costa Georgiadis attended an 'Invasion Day' rally in Sydney on Friday to protest Australia Day celebrations.
Lincoln shared a photo on his Instagram as he joined thousands of people across the country to protest Australia Day on January 26 and for the rights of Indigenous people.
The actor simply captioned the photo with a black, yellow and red love heart – the colors on the Aboriginal flag.
Lincoln was accompanied by Costa, who was seen at the protest wearing a white T-shirt and red shorts.
He kept a low profile with a brown hat, bushy beard and unkempt hair as he walked with the crowd.

Meanwhile, Abbie Chatfield explained that she won't be releasing a new episode on her podcast “because it's Invasion Day.”
'Hello everyone ! There's no Nightmare Fuel episode tomorrow because it's Invasion Day. Instead, we have included a list of the protests and marches taking place in the capitals.”
“It always has been that way, and it always will be that way.”
Former Married At First Sight star Nasser Sultan also condemned Australia Day as a public holiday.
“Australia is the only country that celebrates the day it was invaded. That's a bit like America hosting a Pearl Harbor Day Pool Party,” he wrote.

The first message simply had the words 'Australia Day' crossed out, while the words 'Invasion Day' were in bold below.
It continued: 'The advent of one race at the expense of another. Can you learn the correct place names of the country you live in? Once you've done this, look at the events they're hosting on this date/throughout the year. Go to them. Surround yourself with the culture.”
Finally, Jesinta reposted an image with the caption: “Australia is the only country to mark colonization as a national holiday.”
