But yeah, I mean the 26 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: last I would say the last seven or eight years, 27 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: it's been really a lot, a lot of debate, and 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: for mine, it's kind of ruined Australia Day the day 29 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: itself because there's been so much debate and people changing 30 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: their countdowns, days and all this sort of stuff, you know, 31 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: to another time. And my take on it has always been, 32 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: I don't care what day it is. Can we just 33 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: decide on a day and get back to celebrating the 34 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: fact that we live in the best country in the world. 35 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: Whatever day you want to do it, let me know 36 00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: and I'll be there. 37 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 3: I think people have become tired of it. 38 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: Probably because it happens for two weeks and then by 39 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: the second it's gone until the next year. 40 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 3: It goes away. But then, see the problem is you say, okay, 41 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 3: let's go and decide on a date. Then everybody's going 42 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 3: to go, oh what. Then we have to have an 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: argument about that, I know, and we're all getting a 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 3: little tired. Why don't we just do what we've always done. 45 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 3: Include everybody always didn't. 46 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: It always used to be the last Monday in January. 47 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: It would just be a long weekend and it was 48 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: the last Monday, so the date rolled it didn't, you know, 49 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: which was I was fine with. 50 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: That wouldn't be too hard to fix. Someone will always 51 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 3: find a problem. It's always yeah, someone will always find 52 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: a problem anyway. Rant is over. 53 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: The other thing that I always remember about those those 54 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,839 Speaker 1: old days down on the Foreshore was it you could 55 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: guarantee it was going to be forty degrees And this 56 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: year we took care of that this week, so it's 57 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: going to be a glorious twenty five degrees on Australia Day. 58 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: This is why couldn't have happened when we worked at 59 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 3: Day down on the Foreshore all through the early two thousands. 60 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 3: Remember one day it was forty two and then we 61 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: finished off with a storm. We didn't even know if 62 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 3: it was going to happen. We had to make that call. 63 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 3: Remember we were looking at each other across the. 64 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: Oh, yes, no one, no one wanted to Yes, go 65 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: to the back page. 66 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 3: Of the prep prep books in case of emergency, emergency, everybody. 67 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: Go, I mean it did happen once. It did happen 68 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: once because of that tragic accident. 69 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: It anyway, to all who celebrate, we say Happy Australia Day.
