The prime minister says the country will have a public holiday to commemorate the Queen, but not everyone is on board with the idea.

In his announcement on Sunday, Albanese said the day would “allow people to pay their respects for the passing of Queen Elizabeth”. “Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II led a remarkable life, dedicated to service and duty,” the PM said in a statement. “Her Majesty was the only reigning monarch to ever visit Australia and it was clear from her first trip that she had a special place in our hearts. “Queen Elizabeth II is the only reigning monarch most Australians have known and her faithful service will be remembered for centuries to come. However, Anthony Albanese told Sunrise, the day would be a one-off “historic event” for Australians to observe the loss of Queen Elizabeth “in their own way”. Of the backlash over the short notice given to Australians, Albanese admitted it was “the very nature of a once-in-a-lifetime event”. “It’s a historic event that is touching many Australians and that Australians want to participate in.” “Therefore, we gave as much notice as possible, which is why I spoke to the premiers and chief ministers on Saturday and why we made the announcement on Sunday,” he said. “The national day of mourning provides an opportunity for local governments to organise events in their local communities,” he said. “Operations and lots of patient consultations booked that day, at a time when access is difficult,” he said in a tweet following the announcement over the weekend.

Anthony Albanese has explained why Australians will be given a public holiday on September 22 to mark the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

“But also of course, King Charles has very strong links with Australia. He studied here as a student. The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral in the early hours of Friday AEST. “Essential services do open on public holidays and it is the case that penalty rates apply on public holidays.
