Considering the 'looseness' of the specific date, I find it odd that some cling so hard to it's significance, the feeling of having to change it seems to much to bear for some. It would possibly be better to use Federation day ( although that date is inconvenient for a public holiday) or another day chosen from a selection in a referendum or similar. While we stoke divisive fires this will never change. Personally change the date I can adapt and if it makes some happy what do I care, I just want the day off.
