Does the day need to be affixed to a particular date?
Can we not just make it the first Friday in February or something?
Not worried about any significance as long as we get a Sumner long weekend!
Personally, I would say yes. It's "Australia Day", not "have a day off in summer day". There are enough public holidays between late December and early May anyway. I wouldn't mind if it moved to the back half of the year. Though I wouldn't mind too much if it did stay in summer, as long as the new date marks something significant.
