    Try explaining a culture war over the date of the Hottest 100 to someone from outside the country when 1. it hasn't always been on Australia Day and 2. Australia Day hasn't always been on Australia Day either.

        I mean if "Tony Abbott in a Top Hat Turnbull" is going to slash the ABC budget anyway might as well go out with some dignity.http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/transformational-change-200-jobs-to-go-as-michelle-guthrie-reveals-abc-restructure-20170307-gus806.html …

        The Hottest 100 has been going for longer than we've had recognition of Australia day on 26 Jan across all states and territories

        July 30 abjectly makes more sense, as it's actually near the date when the Australia act was passed.

        January 1st? When we declared Australia an independent nation. I think there is something in November we could have as a date as well.

        We’ve already got a public holiday January 1st, what about the day the referendum passed giving indigenous the vote?

        It's great to see that the Federal Government has its priorities sorted. Nothing more important than a radio program!

        And being an annual song poll it has nothing intrinsically to do with Australia Day regardless of the date.

        Just a bunch of white people who don't want the indigenous to get what they want. Stupid beat up for a racist holiday.
