'Australia' was actually born as a nation, and no longer a group of independent colonies, on January 1st, 1901. Seems a logical date for Australia Day. A day when all Australians, regardless of race/religion/colour or creed, can celebrate all that is Aussie AND all our roots.
For arguments sake, parades in all capital cities, major rural cities, with floats/representations/music from all those who make up 'Australia' - indigenous Aussies, English, Greeks, Italians, Irish, Scot, Japanese, Chines, Vietnamese, Indian, Pakistani, other various Asian countries... etc., etc. Acknowledging and respecting all.
