Tomorrow is Australia Day and the theme for 2021 is 'Reflect. Respect. Celebrate.'

"Australia has a wonderfully rich and diverse population and heritage. Our country is home to the oldest continuous culture on earth with a history reaching back beyond 60,000 years. I think that is something about which all Australians can and should be immensely proud. So too I think we should all be proud of our rich migrant heritage and our cohesive society. These are things to honour, respect and celebrate."

Details are not available as yet to determine if it will be the process will be simpler as is intended.
