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

By the amount of traffic on the Hume earlier, lots of people went camping for a long weekend.

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.

If we don't involve representatives of the Indigenous people in the discussion about any new dates we'll just get the same shit repeated.

@ David, there is popular support for picking a new day but keeping the current one as well (we do love a public holiday) but having it on the 26th or based on the 26th but the holiday on the last Monday of the month as Tannin proposes will always attract shit from the same noisy minority purporting to represent all Aboriginals.

As usual there's a flood of polls about this.

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.
