When are the Australian of the Year awards announced in Canberra?

The night after Australia Day
Two days before Australia Day
During Christmas
The eve of Australia Day

The correct answer is: The eve of Australia Day

The Australian of the Year awards are traditionally announced on the eve of Australia Day, which is celebrated on January 26th. This timing is significant as it aligns with the lead-up to a day that holds great national importance, allowing the awards to be a highlight in the celebrations. Recognizing individuals who have made significant contributions to Australia is particularly fitting as the nation prepares to reflect on its identity and values on Australia Day. The other options fall outside this established timeline. Announcing the awards the night after Australia Day would place the recognition after the celebrations, which could diminish the impact of the awards. Two days before Australia Day would not align with the timing tradition either, and having them during Christmas would be entirely unrelated to Australia's national celebrations.
