Sigh . I hereby present my foolproof plan to once and for all end this irritating , neverending debate . 1 . We rename ' Australia Day ' to ~~' First Landing Day '~~ ' Proclamation Day ' as per u 2 littleducks new information , and keep it a public holiday because who doesn ' t love public holidays ? 1 . We make February 13 th a new public holiday called ' Reconciliation Day ' to honour and celebrate when Rudd apologised to the stolen generation . 1 . We keep the name ' Australia Day ' on ice until we inevitably become a republic , so we can have a new national public holiday akin to July the 4 th for the United States . Boom , now we have three brand new public holidays , and everybody should be happy . <| sep |> dabbing his dick off Didn ' t realize he was an LSU fan .
