I now use it to catch up on some crap around the house, it has lost it's appeal and prestige.
I don't have the answer.

Yep, Im in this same boat. Was all over it when younger without realising the distress it causes other people. Now it feels like trying to celebrate at a party while friends are mourning at a funeral.
Also I might add, a bit like Valentines Day - Dont feel the need for 1 special day to celebrate how lucky we are to live here, I love my country everyday as Im sure most do.
I dont have the answer (but have appreciated the suggestions within this topic), but am all for shifting the date if it means ALL Australians can celebrate it.

Piss Valentine’s Day off and have it then.
Problem solved!

My suggestion, sack the Queen's birthday as a concept, replace it with Mabo Day. (also can just have the public holiday on the nearest Monday, separate Mabo Day and the Mabo Day Holiday conceptually)
Rename New Years Day Federation Day
Public holiday to be named by someone more clever on the last weekend in January being usually the Monday, but if this falls on the 26th, have it on the Friday.
