Answer #1It could very well be called that, since in all sense it was an invasion, rather then a discovery of Australia (as the indiginous Aboriginals were already living there).

However this would most likely open up old wounds among both Australians and Aboriginals. So it could be called Invasion Day, but probably shouldn't.

Answer #2

That question presupposes that Australia Day will always be held on January 26th. January 26th should revert to its original title, 'Anniversary Day,' but with the added title of 'Anniversary and Reconciliation Day.'

Australia's first day as a nation began on January 1st, 1901.

Thus, Australia Day should be celebrated on January 1st and January 26th should be officially known as 'Anniversary and Reconciliation Day.'

Why would people disagree with Australia day?

yes. every Australian does. On the contrary: the concept of Australia Day grates on many indigenous people of Australia. 26 January 1788 marked the beginning of mass dispossession of lands and tearing apart of families suffered by the Aborigines as a result of European settlement. So, no - not every Australian agrees with Australia Day.

Yes! The Commonwealth of Australia was founded at Midnight on December 31, 1900. Thus, Australia Day should be rightfully celebrated on December 31. Dec31/Jan1 would make for a great 2-Day Holiday, with Australia Day being the prelude to New Year's Eve fireworks.
