Intentionally divisive words and actions will never get us anywhere. I've never understood why so many remain so staunchly against changing the date, and I'm yet to hear many well-reasoned arguments. What harm does it cause? And more importantly, what is the big deal with making a move to ensure ALL Australians feel comfortable celebrating their country, instead of just some? "Because it's tradition." Well guess what? Change the date, give it a few years, and you have a new tradition. And a much better tradition, because our day of celebration isn't simultaneously causing Indigenous Australians considerable pain. There are two clear sides to this debate. And the side who have to endure painful reminders of genocide and rank injustices committed against their ancestors while watching people drink beers and get rowdy in the name of patriotism all around them have much more grounds to be upset than the other side.
