IN INDIA YOU KNOW THAT IT IS GANDHI JAYANTI AND DUSSEHARA. BUT ONLY FEW INDIAN KNOWS THAT IT IS ALSO LAL BAHADUR SHASTRI JAYANTI DAY. MAY BE AUSTRALIAN DECLARE HOLIDAY FOR SHASTRI BECAUSE INDIAN NEVER REMEMBER HIM.

Labour Day holiday in New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory and South Australia

Queen's Birthday holiday in Western Australia

In Australia, we celebrate the Queen's birthday on different days - eg. in Queensland the holiday is observed in June.

Because New South Wales celebrate Labour day, and it just happens to fall on the Monday after the football final So when the BRONCOS team win....the whole of New South Wales can have a day of mourning (really it is closer to a week as no NSW team made the final)
I think the holiday is not all of Australia ..just New South Wales. A.C.T. And South Australia.

It may be:

their natinal holiday!

its the queens birthday public holiday if ur in western aus
and the rest of the states its labour day public holiday nsw/sa/act


make a statement
i think, they r stunned to see a whole nation observing a holiday on this day since about 30 yrs-- so they wanted to find out why----hence they started observing a holiday on oct 2. hope they will find out this year.


Shepherdian
In India it is birth day of father of nation.
