yes. every Australian does.
On the contrary: the concept of Australia Day grates on many indigenous people of Australia. 26 January 1788 marked the beginning of mass dispossession of lands and tearing apart of families suffered by the Aborigines as a result of European settlement. So, no - not every Australian agrees with Australia Day.
Aboriginal people see this day as invasion day as before 26/1/1788 they had this country to themselves.
some Australians think that January 1st should be Australia day as it is the anniversary of Australia becoming the Commonwealth of Australia.
However truth be known it probably should be 3rd of March because on the 3rd March, 1986 Australia gained full independence from england. This is what is known to us.

This is a patriotic day when people celebrate what it means to be Australian, so it bears little resemblance to "flag day".
