It's always been celebrated or acknowledged for over 100years. Being gazzetted as a public hol in 1994 means nothing.

The question now - "is it still appropriate?" when we answer that we can make changes. So when did we become all Australian? Federation? When Indigineous were accepted as people, when immipgrants were accepted as Aussies? There's a sh1tload of cultural and social change to deal with for some.

Sure as shit through, when we choose a date there'll be someone saying thats my day of mourning you inconsiderate bastards.

Personally, January is a crap time for celebration, When silly season kicks in would be good, #LetsgetshitfacedNovember?
