The issue

Australia Day is currently on January 26th, the day of the first fleet landing. The day when Aboriginals lost their lives as a people.

There is so much debate as to whether Australia Day should be changed.  The perfect day to change it to would be May 27th, which is the day of the 1967 Referendum when Australian citizens voted yes to allowing Aboriginals to be counted in the census, and to change he constitution regarding to Aboriginals laws.
