Anything for another public holiday Thry? 

I was actually suggesting holding Australia Day on 1 Jan so we would lose a public holiday.  However, if it is to be genuine celebration of our nation, warts and all, the day should be free of other connections; May 8 springs to mind 

I guess we could keep 26 Jan as a public holiday but make the focus on Indigenous Australia.  As others have pointed out, there's a fair bit of that already but it could be more positive.

Not anything but like lods states in Melbourne jan 26 works really well and bookended  the weekend makes for an extra day camping and fishing.

Im against Australia day being moved in general but recognise that things are going to change eventually regardless of what we think.  We may as well adopt the aboriginal flag, call ourselves the Kulin nation and be done with it.
