What do you think should be the message of Australia Day?

Jacob Cass: It should be a message of reconnecting with the past and reconciliation to build a more unified future.

 

Margot Jolly: It should be about inclusiveness. I think having Australia Day on the 26th of Janu-ary is not inclusive, so let’s reflect it in Australia Day. Every day is a great day to be Australian, so why not draw a date from a hat. The day does not necessarily need a special meaning, as long as it has nothing to do with the British monarchy or any wars.

 

Jenny Kinghorn: I believe all people are equal and we should all treat each other that way. Australia Day is where we can meet each other in the middle.
