A friend of mine once suggested the solution to arguments about Australia day was to keep it on 26 January but adopt the Balinese new year way of celebrating.
On the afternoon before Nyepi young people from every community (banjar) parade ogoh ogoh, ghastly ugly images that now reflect some political or social point. Then before dawn, power is turned off, phone services only avaiable for emergencies, and nobody is allowed on the streets. All is silent. The people of Bali welcome their new year in silence and reflection.
My friend suggested this would be appropriate for Australia, to silently reflect on how the modern Australia was established.
Young Aussies could make their ogoh-ogoh like their favourite politicians.
And the Australia Day like Nyepi a day of silence to reflect and promise to do better.
