Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PAMPHLETEER Series No 8 26 January has no claim to be celebrated as Australia Day. The national day of a country should reflect its values, ambitions, and aspirations. Australia Day should celebrate the diversity of our indigenous and migrant population. It should be an occasion for all Australians to celebrate. If this is what Australia Day should be, we would better celebrate it on almost any day, except 26 January. Inclusion demands a better response.
