Get rid of Australia Day on the 26th of Jan completely and also the Queens Birthday holiday, which should be replaced with Republic Day.

Republic Day can then be celebrated both as Aus Day and Independence day.

My feeling is that the wide majority of the population wouldn’t care if you changed the name or moved it off Jan 26 or whatever you did, so long as there’s still a day off work in a warm weather month.

Make it January 6, to commemorate Don Bradman scoring 452*. We play backyard cricket to celebrate.

When do the Greeks jump off the pier to go and get that cross? Make that the day and we’ll all go to the beach.

Was there ever an aboriginal celebration around summer solstice or full moons? Make something that lines up with that. We all gather with our family/friends and have a BBQ.

Take away the fact it’s a day off work, and there’s no compelling reason to keep it on that specific date. Celebrating “being Australian” or whatever can be done whenever.

We have Grand Final Eve public holiday so why not?

And Hanson wears a Nicqa to Parliament. We have jumped the shark.

[Mendozaaaa]

And people wonder why joke parties like the motoring enthusiasts run and get a seat. She’s an embarrassment.

[wimmera1]

She should be.

Thanks to this, she’s a sideshow.
The faintest blip on the radar of our joke of a Parliament.

[OBITV]

They should make her keep it on, she’s much more attractive that way.

[HowManyGoal]

Ooh. You went there.

Brandis gave her an ear bashing over it and got a standing ovation from the greens and labor. Did I wake up in an alternate universe today?

We could call it barbakuearea day. Great idea.

WTAF??

What a bluddy nutjob.

He gave her a fair whack. She looked like a small child being caught with her hand in the cookie (halal) jar.

[Tezza_the_King]

Was all going really well till she took it off and opened her mouth.

[HowManyGoal]

Like any ‘true believer’ she’ll just feel more vindicated the more people call her out.

[Heffsgirl]

Kudos to Senator Brandis.

[Albert_Thurgood]

What about when the indigenous people walked across the land bridge from Asia to Australia?

What about it? There was no one here to invade.

There were actually.

You should check out the indigenous history of the country.

[Soulnet]

So which bridge are we all planning to marry?

[wimmera1]

I’ve got my on the one 'trip wants to sell me.
Hawt.

[machina]

I plan to just build a bridge and get over it.

Not the marrying​ type.

[Scorpio]

My question was what constitutes an invasion
