  1. Thank you for all of the information in the editorial and in this publication. These articles will make it easier to have discussions with those who either do not know what the arguments against Australia Day are (especially the significance of the date) and will assist in persuading people to think differently to how they have previously believed the history of this country to be. I had one such discussion on Australia day, and I think it is easier to ‘win hearts and minds’ when armed with a rational argument, as well as the passionate interest of righting past wrongs and working towards justice.
    I attended a ‘change the date rally’ in Hobart and the mood for change and increase in awareness, as well as increased attendance, was there for all to see.

    Thank you again.

    Merlene Abbott
