26 January --> Australia Day

Debate over the meaning and appropriatness of this day.

This date makes no sense. This date says nothing about the country

Country day is used to celebrate the independence.

USA country day --> 4 July

Meaning : in 1776 the Thirteen Colonies declared their independance.

People want to change the date:

26 January --> 9 July

Why ? 9 July is the date when the constitution of Australia was ratified.

(When Australian were no longer a British colony).

Noel Pearson : he said that Australia has 3 stories:

a) The ancient Ingenious heritage

b) The British institutions built upon it

c) The abording gift of multicultural migration.

--> Australia Day has to celebrate the 3 stories.

26 January celebrate only one story
