Whis AI made this? Australians don't use month-day format, we use day-month format.

Ps, nothing against the statement being made here..

It's not AI made and where are you even seeing a XX/XX/XX format on this poster?

"January 26 15" at the top. I mean, even translating that from American date format, it still doesn't make sense unless the poster was originally made for Australia day 2015..

Again though, nothing against the statement being made, I am in the "Australia day isn't a celebration" camp too. Just a shame the date format isn't Australian date format. It detracts from the effectiveness of the statement by making the incorrect date format the focus, rather than the statement being made.

Thats "is" not "15", a fair mistake to make the font does make it look like a 15
