My little girl turns 18 today, I'm taking her out for some cocktails this evening.

Ever year more people #changethedate, more people attend rallies, more people have the difficult conversations with friends ( I had one at the pub yesterday afternoon ) and more people understand the social change that must take place.
Unfortunately the matter is now politicised, if, like same sex marriage it was social change and not political change I believe a referendum would succeed in having the date changed as it did with same sex marriage. My Mum voted yes for SSM after we had several discussions on how it won't change her life one bit. I think the same would happen around #changethedate
For mine the ultimate solution would be to become a republic and use that day as our national day but I fear the boomers will all need to be gone before we see that and that is many, many years away.

You could have at least let her choose the drinks pal

Walking down Rundle Mall on Monday during a heavy downpour there was some chick walking along with a tiny bikini asking people if they had a dollar so she could buy a towel, Adelaide didn't fail to deliver again, Monday night was going off in the city!

How did you get a place to accept the voucher on a weekend?

Not one joint is available on a Friday night and that's searching every venue on the list

Did you see all the "influencers" who attended rallies but then went to Australia day parties. Muppets

Personally I think that's nit picking.
As mentioned im pro change the date but this wouldn't stop me from catching up with friends and family on the day. If anything it provides a great platform to express my view the date should be change, in comparison I could sit at home, speak to no one and the world moves on and I've had zero impact.
My idea of Australia Day is celebrating Australias current culture and not reflecting on the history.
