"Some believe 26 January commemorates the landing of the First Fleet, when convicts from England first set foot in Australia in 1788.
But the ships actually arrived at Sydney’s Botany Bay around a week earlier, sometime between 18-20 January. They decided to shift further north after finding the bay unsuitable."
Keep the date keep the name and stop the complain.
First fleet didnt arrive on the 26th and we’re a great country we deserve to celebrate.
The fleet did arrive on the 26th, you’re either just lying or completely ignorant of history.
Learn to have some goddamn compassion for the trauma that started that day.

No they set shore then moved. Meaning any argument that its “invasion day” is wrong.
So moving the day means people will cry regardless about it because its what so many people do today.
