Australia Day date ‘is not a date that really works for me’: Rose Jackson

NSW Shadow Water and Housing Minister Rose Jackson says Australia Day is not a date that really works for me” as the controversial holiday is set to kickstart the state election campaign.

“I’ve been on the record previously saying that I think we should look for a new date that unites the country,” Ms Jackson told Sky News host Cory Bernadi.

“But I’ll be honest, New South Wales Labor has absolutely no plans to change the date of Australia Day.

“That is not a priority for our team.”
