The furore over Australia Day continued to rage this week as Prime Minister Scott Morrison batted away calls to change the date of the national holiday and stripped a local council of its right to hold citizenship ceremonies after it brought its Australia Day celebrations forward by a day.
Despite refusing to back down on the topic, the PM then hinted at the idea of introducing a whole new national day which he said would “honour and acknowledge our indigenous peoples” as a way of forging stronger ties between all Australians.
Now The Project star Waleed Aly has weighed in on the issue, saying he believes people would happily agree to change the date if they were given a “good, alternative date”.
Speaking to co-stars Lisa Wilkinson, Fifi Box and Peter Hellier, he floated the idea of celebrating the national day on March 2 instead, the day then-Prime Minister Bob Hawke and Her Majesty the Queen signed the Australia Act.
