God i have seen a few reasons as to why the date should not be changed - you sure have selective reading.
If you want to try , just just a very little to be just a wee bit positive , try putting all your ABC and WOKE negativity away , and remember January 26 was a day when 2 different cultures came together and met.
Have a read of some of the history books , how King George instructed all British to be kind and caring to those they find.
Read the current book out now "Bennelong & Phillip" , and how the British Captain and Aborigine leader worked together and how Phillip took Bennelong to London , to theatres and more and how he came back to Australia. There are many great books about life at settlement time. I know the staff at the ABC have not read them , but you could start.
Sure there were some bad British settlers later on , but at least we didn't have the French , Spanish , Dutch . Belgium's or Germans arrive instead.
What other day do you suggest for Aussies to celebrate - at least January 26 has both cultures
Anyway you can never teach a negative person to think different
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY.
