Defending the date of a national holiday could be the most politically correct thing possible to do.
It's already thousands ahead with the no vote.
It's very unlikely that they will change it.
If they won't change day light savings they won't change this.

Or you know, the most traditional and conservative thing to do. What your saying is comparable to DNC level of mental gymnastics where their 5:0 loss streak is a win somehow.

Agreed. Thought it'd be good to obliterate them in a widely view paper.
No. They've been asking for real change, not tokens and gestures. Changing the date does not change history, which is the gripe they have with the date.

They HAVE been asking for tokens and gestures though. Constitutional recognition is bull crap.
Some of the activists wouldn't be happy unless we bottle fed aboriginals until they reach 40 and others want all non-aboriginals out of their business.
It's a catch 22 because the different bodies want conflicting things.
I'm really hoping voices like Jacinta Price get more weight behind them on these issues.
We need to move forward as one team, rather then get bogged down as individual victim groups
