Should Australia Day be know as 'Invasion Day'?

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 #2That 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.'
