    I’m not sure it is these days honestly.

    I think only the loud and annoying people only care

    It’s like the EV discussion, if you jump onto Facebook, you’d think everyone loves petrol. However, in practice, people are happy to switch, but just want them cheaper. But they aren’t the kind of people to be plastering Facebook with it

    We have a huge problem with a small amount of toxic people here (and they cause the same problems for everything).

    They might protest, but after aus day passes, honestly, it will simply flame out the debate when people realize they don’t care.

    But you do make a good point, as they’d have to survive that first year. I just wish we had more mature people in here (I’m starting to think I’d be better off in NZ or elsewhere, because I hate all the kids who have temper tantrums here constantly, they’re ruining Australia)

      I think we are saying the same thing… the noisy ones will be around for either decision… they will be either protesting that it should stay the 26th (if it were to be changed), or protest that it is the 26th as invasion day… the fact that it goes away the day after makes it an easier decision for the government of the day… they just have to wait it out.

      I don’t care which, I don’t celebrate other than enjoying the public holiday. If I could swap it for my birthday off, I would do that :0)

        yeah… I couldn’t give a toss about Australia day either way. If there is anything we can all agree on, its to make it two days
