[QUOTE="Aussie Pete, post: 77126126, member: 421731"] It's not that long ago that Australia Day was celebrated on a Monday near the 26th. It was more an excuse for a public holiday than anything else. I am a migrant. I come from a country that was invaded, with great violence, by many countries over a period of many centuries. No one mourns these events. Bitterness and resentment are poison to the soul. No one can turn back the clock. Changing the day will not change one moment of the events since settlement, or occupation, or invasion or however people want to describe it. FYI, I was married to a part aboriginal woman and my children identify as aboriginal. They availed themselves of the programs that are created to overcome supposed or real aboriginal disadvantage. My daughter is married with four children and my son works for a point of sale organisation, having been head hunted from Apple. [/QUOTE]
