Greens leader Richard Di Natale said changing the date of Australia Day will be a top priority for the Greens in 2018.
In a statement on the Greens website Senator Di Natale said "As Australians, we all want a day on which we can come together as a national community, to reflect on where we’re at and to celebrate what we are: a wonderfully diverse, open and free society,"
"But January 26 is not that day."
According to Fairfax Senator Di Natale will work with more than 100 Greens councillors around the country to support the "change the date" movement and push a public debate to the top of talking points.
There's been mixed reviews about the idea of changing the date from January 26, with groups choosing to abstain from celebrations causing a backlash from parts of the community.
The Triple J hottest 100 countdown show, traditionally aired on Australia Day has been moved for the first time to January 27 after an online poll showed listeners in favour of a change of date.
The City of Fremantle has also indicated they won't participate in celebrations on January 26, but rather host an all-inclusive event with music and food two days later on January 28 at the Esplanade Foreshore.
Despite the community changes Fremantle along with the Yarra and Darebin Councils were forbidden from moving the date of their citizenship ceremonies by the Turnbull Government.
The federal Government doesn't appear to be in favour of changing the date, given then bans imposed on the three councils in 2017.
According to Fairfax the government wants citizenship ceremonies to be held on either Australia Day or Australian Citizenship Day in September.
Former Labor leader Mark Latham recently launched his 'Save Australia Day" campaign with Indigenous town Councillor Jacinta Price from Alice Springs at the forefront.
The pair are raising money to fund on air ad campaign to spread the message about keeping Australia Day on January 26.
“I think we can’t start doing things because a minority of people claim to be hurt or offended. If we start pandering to these individuals, another demand will follow and then another demand and another and we’ll never get to the end," Price said.
When parliament resumes the Greens will be asking the Senate to support a motion to change the date of Australia Day.
January 26 is recognised as the day the first fleet arrive on Australian land in 1788.
