I don't know anyone that actually celebrates the day. Most I know just enjoy a day off work. They could call it Moron Day and people would still appreciate it being a public holiday where they don't have to come into work.
Im avoiding both sides of the crazies. Australia day has become angry drunk nutter day >

We have basically the same style of holiday in nz but we appropriately name it 'crate day' so atleast you know what you're in for >

And then there's at least Waitangi day as our national day, which is not perfect but it's a lot less of a shitshow. Except at Waitangi itself, which tends to attract folks these days of Vatnik and conspiratorial influence, and Iwi political point scorers who do not at all represent all Maori except for their rich and influential families who participate in that process, often at the expense of their wider affiliated Iwi. >

Thousands protest, millions celebrate. Australia is for everyone, including aboriginals.
