The truth is that the arrival of the Europeans was a disaster for those living here at the time and for generations beyond human memory.
Others want to celebrate the day as a creation of Australia as a nation and what it stands for today.
So there are differing views.
Some though believe we should get rid of Australia Day itself, a day not to celebrate at all, given the way Aboriginal people have been treated over many years. I'm not sure if we need to go that far, but I am open with more detail provided.
So, do we need to consider changing the date for Australia Day? Remove the day altogether? Celebrate the day as it is? Your comments appreciated.
