Australia Day: when should we celebrate? : Comments

By Russell Grenning, published 19/1/2018

Various suggestions have been made for a new date from some significant event in the World War 11 Pacific campaign or the date (27 May) of the overwhelmingly successful 1967 referendum.

Why don't all you Greens and other UnAustralian and anti-Australians leave this country, instead of trying to trash it's culture and what made it the great country it is?

Seems Peter Lang wants to have a country intolerant of informed history and discussion. By the way, what exactly is Australian 'culture'?

Yeah, its a difficult question. The obvious solution is to have two official Australia Day's. So, have one day that celebrates the european settlement of australia on the 26th, and another day to celebrate aboriginal culture, as well.

Progressive Pat, seeing as we already have 22 days in the year celebrating aboriginal culture I hardly think we need another one. Have forgotten the list but the days include.NAIDOC week, Sorry Day, Reconciliation Day , etc.
Add to this the fact that many many aboriginal people are quite happy with the day as it is.
And seeing as the date we now have is the anniversary of Australian citizenship, it would be difficult to justify changing the date for citizenship ceremonies.
