Public holiday

Business leaders are calling for the Victorian Government to reconsider the AFL Grand Final public holiday, noting workers are being given the day off before a game in which neither side comes from Victoria.

Right.

Sally Curtin, CEO of the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Uh, and well, what would your answer to that question be, Sally?

Well, uh, probably that, that thought bubble that Ross was just talking about.

I was chatting to some of our American friends who are here for the NFL, and when we start to talk about the number of public holidays we have here, and I think it's fourteen.

We have the most of anywhere in the nation, I think.

Um, and then in fact, we're having a public holiday on the day before the event.

And it is now official.

Voting Day, Wednesday 4 November, will be a public holiday.

It was declared as such by President Cyril Ramaphosa yesterday.

In the local government elections, we have to vote where we live.

My friends, if you've never traveled to China before, okay, there are two times you definitely do not want to travel.

Do not travel during National Holiday, which is generally during October, and Spring Festival, which is generally, like, in February.

These are the world's largest migration of people because it is Chinese people traveling everywhere domestically in China.

And if you go there, uh, there is a term in Chinese called, uh, renshan renhai, which is people mountain people sea, which means people as far as the eye could see, packed like sardines.

Yes, it is very good to be back with you tonight.

And it is another national holiday.

I feel like I just end up recording these things always around some sort of a holiday.

And if you know my posts at all, you know every day is literally a holiday.

I do this thing called National Holiday, which basically is this website where I go pretty much every day and find out what the national or international holiday is that's being celebrated in my country, in your country, or elsewhere.

around the globe that I can correlate with the world of James Bond.

And, you know, sometimes I'll be a little bit more loose and fun about it.

You know, if it's National Macaroni Day, I won't usually use that unless I can find a picture of Sean Connery eating pasta.

Yeah, we've got a loser.

The public holiday that is going Labor Day.

Labor Day.

Everybody be at work Monday, 26th of October.

For, for you.

So today, if, if you're new here, we do national holidays and we try to talk about the food ones for, for, I want to, is this today or tomorrow? Today they have really lame ones like lemon juice day.

I don't know why lemon juice gets its own day.

So that was weird.

So today happens to be a public holiday and I woke up about the same time.

I usually wake up about 6 o'clock and about 6.30 I went out for my morning walk.

And it's interesting how Public holidays are just so different for the majority of people than normal weekdays.

For me, public holidays don't really excite me that much because they are pretty much the same as every other day.

Public holidays just make me realize how different my life is from a lot of people around me.

So I got up today and I went out for a walk, a prayer walk.

when God normally lays something on my spirit.

But a lot of us are afraid of questioning because it's convenient to continue with the normal.

Public holidays are official non-working days recognized by the state.

Public holidays, dni świąteczne.

Sick leave allows you to stay home when ill while still getting paid.

Sick leave, urlop chorobowy.
