"So far there has not been one reason posted as to why the date shouldn't be changed "
There has been plenty posted, you only see what you want to see. One good reason is that there are a lot of us that want to celebrate on this date. I.am one. It is an important date to the majority of Australians. Others like you can make it a day of mourning if you choose.
"More Australians will be much happier. The historical record will be corrected."
The historical record needs no correction You can't Rewrite history
."Australian will be a much more united community."
Bullshit.
"More progress will be made on indigenous issues more quickly"
Bullshit 2
"Looks like a win for the sensible centre"
Looks more like a loss. I see plenty celebrating Australia Day this weekend.. Woolies are losing out on the stand they have taken. I found Coles very busy today.
