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.'
invasion day
Most Aboriginals don't celebrate Australia Day because they see it as a day of invasion and prefer not to celebrate it.
Australia Day represents "Invasion Day" for the indigenous people of Australia. For them, it represents the day white man invaded their peaceful way of life and set about to destroy their culture, albeit unwittingly at first. For the Aborigines "Australia Day" means the loss of their connection to the land, their spirituality and everything that was important to them.
Many Aboriginal people in Australia see Australia day as the day when their lives were turned upside down by the invasion of the English and the introduction of European diseased that decimated their tribes and family's.

No It should not.
D Day the great crusade
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.
