    Yea. Me too. What new public holidays. I hope you're not thinking of the establishment of the states.
    SA already has "Proclamation Day". The day when South Australia was proclaimed a state. I understand it was a rather hot day on December 28th 1836 down at The Old Gum Tree.
    Sadly, the public holiday is usually declared on December 26th. I think it should occur on December 28th.

    Considering that there are more kiwis in Oz than vice versa...and taking into account a good portion of parliament are kiwi citizens....I would say that it is more apt for the national day to portray the annexing by stealth of Oz by Kiwis....and become the same as NZ...Feb 6, Waitangi day.

    No. They virtually destroyed a civilisation. Slightly different.
