Today is the 26th of January. A day that everyone has an opinion on.

Some say the day should still be used to celebrate, some used to recognise it and now they don't, and some have been calling for change for many years. 

So where are we at with January 26 as a nation? Are we moving towards change or are we sticking the the date that excludes those whose history was changed forever on this day in 1788. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a deep dive into the date that truly divides the country on a day that is supposed to bring us together.
