As much a technicality as australia not starting on 26th 1788
Australia didn't start on 26 Jan 1788 but it's a significant date that has been recognised for centuries and nationally adopted across Australia for almost 100 years.
If you are having trouble with 26 Jan 1788 you should also be problematic with it being 'invasion day' to all indigenous groups.
