acceptable Australia Day?

Emma Garlett, Opinion 7th Jan wants a date for Australia Day which is acceptable to Whyt Australians without offending Blak Australians. 

Her objection to Jan 26th is reasonable and well presented. 

unfortunately Emma offers no alternative date -- acceptable or otherwise.

Can Garlett -- and other Blak and Whyt Australians -- accept 29th Sep?

On 29th Sep 1983 a Bill was enacted to give all indigenous Australians full voting rights -- and responsibilities. 

Commonwealth Electoral Legislation Amendment Act 1983

[NB: please confirm that name and the date! ]

From that date,  all Australians had equal,  free and compulsory involvement in the democratic management of our country. 

as a Whyt Australian I am proud of that acceptance of universal suffrage. Not every Blak Australian wanted that voting equality -- but everyone accepted it.  and no land was stolen. 

Make Australia Day 29th Sep each year.

Then we can all relax and enjoy the long weekend.
