Quiet one for the change the daters this year.

No point, the argument has been run and won. January 26 as our national day is on borrowed time.

I wonder how Americans would react if July 4th was scrapped.

Sad listening, why don't we just get rid of that "celebration" day and have a day somewhere else on the calendar to celebrate togetherness, inclusiveness and empathy. >

Recognise. Respect. Educate.​

As long as i get my day off, I don't care when it is

If you follow the logic from here, Independence Day = not racist, Columbus Day = racist.

Personally I don't really mind if a better date for a national holiday is selected, but there's still going to be a noisy minority of privileged white people complaining about it.

Down at the pool enjoying the day with a lot of the locals including most of the black fellas.

Alright- i can leave my house

I will bet anyone here $1000 changing the date wont end the whinging. Next it will be the flag, then national anthem, then whatever else and before you know it history is rewritten.

The divide only stems from one side of this coin at this point. Welcome to country often very quick to point out we are nothing but guests here in their eyes.

Prefer Friday public holidays… Monday always make me feel like I’m running behind schedule all the following week

No one can celebrate this day anymore without being shot down. I’m not saying that’s wrong but it’s lost any excitement. Should be changed to a long weekend, first Monday or Friday in Feb. A long weekend would be ace.

 

[FRUMPY]

Being a Wednesday I'm doing SFA. The heat hasn't helped, can't be ****ed doing anything.

A day like today makes me want to be a tradie with Monday and Tuesday being RDO's

Going off his posts, I’ve always wondered if the bloke who set up bigfooty can kick a drop punt. I suspect not.

Nice sanctuary. I recommend the night dinner + tour.

Attended a freedom protest rally and now attending a change the day rally. Bloody hot outside.

Should do the day, the flag and the anthem in one fell swoop.

I don't have a problem with the anthem apart from the fact it's s**t.

Out on the patio we sit. This is Straya!

Independence day is actually just as bad in theory given that two of the grievances in the draft declaration were that the English were talking about abolishing slavery (had already done it in the UK) and they were protecting the Indian tribes (to an extent).

I reckon we need to have a three day public holiday for the nation being the weekend before the first monday in February.
Saturday we celebrate our indigenous history.
Sunday we celebrate all the people who have come here since we were colonised.
Monday we celebrate the future.

But that’s just an idea.
Im off to get a photo of the kookaburras that are on my deck

Make it a friday.

4 day weekend.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

I like both Thursday and Fridays because of this reason.

Always liked Thursday's feel tbh. Not Monday-Wednesdays tho they can gagfd. And also Sunday evenings.

Tuesday is the worst day of the week imo.
