Sa National Flag raising and citizenship ceremony kahapon sa Canberra, sinabi ni Prime Minister Scott Morrison na ang petsa ay nagmarka sa tunay na pagbabago ng Australia.
"We do it on this day when the course of this land change forever. There is no escaping or canceling that fact, for better or worse, and worse. It was the moment where the journey to our modern Australia began, and it is this continuing Australian journey that we recognise today. Our stories since that day have been of sorrow and of joy, of loss and redemption, of failure and of success."
