Same. I might even have a few drinks myself. I'll continue to celebrate Australia Day on whatever day it happens to be. I'm not tied to the date, just the day itself. My intention isn't to celebrate the date January 26, it's to celebrate Australia and I won't feel bad about celebrating Australia.

I'd guess most, nearly all Australians who celebrate Australia Day feel a similar way. Make it the 27th or 25th. Makes no difference to me.

We hear you. I feel something of the same way - we should remember the past but strive to do better going forward. Australia Day serves very well as a reminder to do just that. And lets face it, Aussie music is great.

You can celebrate being Australian

You can also acknowledge that the modern nation state came from very dark roots.

The two aren't incompatible in the slightest

Two things can be true at the same time right.
I'll help out whenever and wherever I can to get the sick date that commemorates the start of a genocide shifted to a different day, but whenever my day off work is granted by the powers that be, I'm gonna party on that day.

Nothing wrong with celebrating those things, just any other day.
