We already know that the date is the problem. Pretending to "consult" so that you can kick the can on down the road and carry on with your redneck ceremonies doesn't cut it.

Of course you do, cos all the green left white people just know this stuff, know what the Indigenous people really want and what's best for them

But is that sufficient reason to keep it? 3 March is only a little over a month away, in any case (and usually there's a bit of a buffer between that and Easter, too).
Having said that, I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of moving Australia Day to another date and keeping 26 January (or last Monday in January, or whatever) as some other holiday – perhaps a solemn day of remembrance for Indigenous dispossession, or something of that nature, if there were support for such an idea; "Survival Day", if you will.

| Why don't we just move it to 1 October? The weather isn't too bad by then - and it will avoid any further need for discussion when the PRC takes over. |

But we already have Labor Day the 2nd Monday in March! |

True! Same day as Canberra Day in the ACT. But successive long weekends doesn't need to be a disaster.

Great idea, it is my birthday. And Gary Ablett Snr as well.

Already a public holiday in NSW around then and wouldn't it risk taking away from that mighty important GF parade holiday just beforehand?
Fact is January 26 is just the perfect date. |

The day is going to change to be more inclusive. It will take a bit more time but the younger generations can see the hypocrisy and see the light. 26 January is a day of invasion and a day of survival. In a generations time or so this will change to a day which truly represents all Australians whether you’re a redneck or an Aboriginal or a cultured urban dweller
We need Scotty from Marketing once again to tell us that there wasn’t any history of slavery in Australia and that we treat our Aboriginies just fine thank-you very much

Happy Australia Day!!! Great day to be out enjoying everything that makes this country a great place to live.
It really is a perfect date to enjoy summer and be a good cutoff date for school to go back afterwards. |
