Australia Day date change is a ‘million-dollar-question’Redbridge Group Director Simon Welsh says the “million-dollar-question” is when to change the date of Australia Day to but is only a “matter of time” until it does. “You get some folk that talk about, what about the date of federation – but then others will say, well that’s no good for me from a public holiday perspective,” Mr Welsh told Sky News Australia. “I think if I was pragmatic about it, I think it’s a matter of time – until we change the date. “From a political sense, it’s a matter of time – companies are doing their own market research, they’re making their decisions about these sorts of things, I honestly think it’s a matter of time.” Spot on. not ever There will never be an acceptable date, it's the concept of Australia Day, the actual date will make no difference.
