Changing the date is probably inevitable at this point. I agree that there's too many PH's this time of year and not enough in the second half.
Just curious but does Germany have a day to celebrate the start of WWII where they all wave German flags and talk about how, for better or worse, they picked that day to exterminate the Jews?

The cause of celebration on Australia day is lost on the woke but normal Australians love it, I hope you're enjoying your day Notso!
They would have if they won.

Jewish persecution didn't start on the first day of the war.
Pretty bad analogy, you'd be better off comparing Australia Day to Columbus Day or something.
Neither did Aboriginal persecution start on 26th January 1788.

You know, I don't believe they do. I'm not a history buff so I'm not exactly sure why that is, but if I had to guess I'd say that it was because hosting your country's day of celebration to commemorate a genocide would be ****ing insane.

Any chance you're ever going to stop trying to pervert the argument into 'should Australia Day exist at all' when you know full well that the actual argument is 'should Australia Day take place on January 26', and provide a reason or two why you think January 26 is the most appropriate day for Australia Day?
I don't know why I'm bothering to ask this, because I know you won't.

Those who actually believe that people who enjoy Australia Day are celebrating genocide are ****ing insane.

Are you really asking me a question, I asked you a question (twice) yesterday yet you quite happily refused to answer it - you obviously believe in your elevated sense of entitlement over me!
People love a public holiday nobody celebrates apart from a bogan oi oi element who have been further neutered by Cricket Australia not recognizing it anymore.. good

I recently traced an 11 yo female relative from 6 generations back who was transported to Australia as `breeding stock' on the second fleet for the new colony, and I strongly doubt she and many of those transported with her saw themselves as invaders.
Still I guess transportation for life for stealing clothes was better than her original sentence of death by hanging.
Interestingly her sentence, and she survived well into her 80's, was many years longer than both of her `husbands' who were each transported for 12 years, one of them was an embezzler and the other a heavy duty criminal who had committed a number of serious assaults.

Bernadi is a highly disagreeable person, but at least he comes off as a consistent, predictable, no bullshit disagreeable person. You'd trust him more than someone like Albo has become, or Turnball/Morrison.

Literally any other day
If they'd just waited another three weeks for Queen Victoria to die we could've become a Federated Republic back in 1901.

I feel the same way. I keep asking you about your big day, yet you seem like you don't want to engageAre you really asking me a question, I asked you a question (twice) yesterday yet you quite happily refused to answer it - you obviously believe in your elevated sense of entitlement over me!

This post is exactly why I didn't bother to engage with you. You have no interest in engaging with the actual issue, which is 'should Australia Day be held on January 26?' The question you asked me had nothing to do with that issue, and was a typical blatant attempt from you to distort the argument, because you never have had and never will have any interest in arguing in good faith.

One of these will suffice then, mate?

I was thinking about this myself it certainly requires more than a 'literally any other day' approach.One of these will suffice then, mate?

Nope, bravey and schulzy said it's ok to charge your glasses on the same date white settlers were charging aboriginals with muskets and bayonets.
