Labour Day was in March.
Why celebrate a later American workers event when we are the home of the 8 hour work week.

Yes. If this is pointing out a contradiction, I can’t see it.
If you want to bring back 21 April for commemorating Australian/Victorian workers too, I will gladly join you. They deserve it. I’m saying that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also partake in May Day (May 1), which is an international day like the Christmas holiday. Christmas still celebrates an international religious event even if the day it’s usually celebrated on was chosen by Romans.

We don’t need to bring it back, we still celebrate it every year in March.
If Australia had invented Christmas, I’d be in favour of us changing the date to one that relates to our accomplishment as well.
