We are making a petition to make December 1st a public holiday to celebrate Australian Identity. We chose this day as it is represents the predominant and individual Summer culture of Australia. Celebrations of Australian music, influential people and history will be held throughout Australia on this day.
Defining our national identity is a complex task that requires careful thought about our shared values and culture. I have been reading your suggestions on how we might best honor the arrival of our summer season and the diverse history of our country. These stories reinforce my belief that we deserve a dedicated day to reflect on what it means to be Australian.

Reaching this milestone suggests that many people feel the same need to honor our shared culture and summer heritage. It is a quiet confirmation that our national identity deserves a dedicated day of reflection and celebration.

Too many holidays are just imported from other places. Reckon we need one that actually feels like home. Let us celebrate being aussie properly.
