will mean two consecutive public holidays in Victoria, where businesses were already paying penalty wages rates on September 23, which is a public holiday for the AFL grand final weekend.Western Australia will observe two public holidays within five days - one to mourn the Queen’s passing on Thursday, September 22 and another day off on Monday 26 for the Queen’s birthday.Federal Parliament has been suspended for the next fortnight.
Australian Industry Group head of Victoria, Tim Piper, said businesses were frustrated about the four-day long weekend, but acknowledged the day off to honour the Queen was being held for a “significant reason”.“Making it an unplanned four-day weekend makes it that much more difficult for businesses to budget and plan,” he said.“If you’re a services business you have to pay the public holiday rates, and if you’re a manufacturer you have to decide whether to do that or close.
Asked about businesses, doctors and retailers complaining that they will need to close their doors on the public holiday because they won’t be able to afford to pay penalty rates to their staff, Mr Albanese said: “The idea that operations don’t occur during a public holidays is, of course, not correct.
Australian Retailers Association chief industry affairs officer Fleur Brown said the public holiday was called at “short notice”.“It will be a loss of trade and also the additional staff costs on that day,” she said.
Yes how dare she die when there’s a grand final on? 69 years of reprieve and your bleeding about this shite 😂
