federation day.


duhh

or federation anniversary

Federation was declared on January 1st, so shouldn't "Australia Day" also be on the same day?

People I've spoken to make the argument "yeah, but at least we get another holiday". That's not the point... January 26th was to do with First Fleet and so the day should be named after that.

If and when Australia gets off its backside and becomes a republic, there will never be a true "national" day of celebration (I'm excluding Anzac Day from this because it's a day of commemoration, not celebration). The European-Aboriginal contact history just has too many negative connotations for it to be a fully inclusive national celebration.

I don't see why indigenous people are still so offended. They still "celebrate" it the same way we do. By throwing asinine barbeques, going home and having a wank.

-I assume Invasion day would be the same. Only with less barbeques and more wanking.

... on second thought let's change it to Invasion day.
