Honestly I couldn't care what date Australia Day is held. But I can't help but think no matter what date is chosen some people won't be happy. Because changing the date doesn't change history.

If someone doesn't believe Australia as it stands now is valid so to speak, any attempt to celebrate it on any day is going to stick in their craw.
