CANBERRA -- Triple J is copping political heat for moving the Hottest 100 from Australia Day to January 27 to respect First Nations people, with the ABC's board now being asked by the Turnbull Government to reconsider it. Triple J and the ABC have fired back insisting it will now be able to concentrate on Australia Day coverage and play Australian music throughout the day.

The new format allows triple j to expand its coverage of Australia Day and the issues that are relevant to its audience. Triple j will play all Australian music on Australia Day.
