That's just simply not true.

I look at Australia as a place with a relatively short past that is characterised by its share of good and bad history. Also, I'm not really one for jingoism, patriotism and running around with flags, particularly one with another country's flag on it.
However, I do think the type of civil society we've developed deserves recognition, although I can't help but feel this is starting to fray at the ends and we're seeing this with the current trends in ours and other nation's politics.
That said, happy for it to be moved to a date. Not sure which date would be appropriate, though. Plenty of stakeholders to consult with!

The middle of August would be good, only because it would give us a much needed public holiday in the four-month stretch between the Queen's Birthday and Labor Day.
