Meanwhile, Queensland celebrates Labour Day at the start of May, like most of the rest of the World, while NSW has Labour Day in October for reasons I don&#39;t know. <br/><br/>This weekend Canberra celebrates Canberra Day because politicians would rather talk about themselves than the average person. <br/><br/>South Australia has Adelaide Cup Day this weekend, because workers like nothing better than to lose their money to bookies and other crooks, while seeing whether their horse wins or dies.<br/><br/>WA had Labour Day last week because they are on a completely different time zone while Northern Territory doesn&#39;t have a Labour Day because it&#39;s too bloody hot to work there. <br/><br/>#Australia #Holiday #LabourDay 2026-03-03T21:50:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2ddk9lvy4mtunjwp8v5sgxsf5fgrlt68qjqwdkydjjrvlt29ppnqzyz6nm8xjk5elsj689q0vhmglhctcfmsaykz20z3j0kaq086w3dun273jsqd Beams at sunset outside the back of our house. <br/><br/>#Sunset #Clouds #Tasmania #lutruwita #Sky<br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/116/164/458/255/797/627/original/ffdc711f4fbf5bac.jpg"> <br/> 2026-03-03T09:14:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9u38jm08zukqugqv2gm3ddvtkakjuuxsjmj0ly30dr6kpt5x0mmszyz6nm8xjk5elsj689q0vhmglhctcfmsaykz20z3j0kaq086w3dun2t96a3r In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9dg8w9t526ugqzhvjk9ltxskvvsftyy3el6lwng2jp8dl7m5gncgvhpu7l'>nevent1q…pu7l</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I don&#39;t know about the toot going round, but I&#39;m part of the group of men who think a partnership is, well, a partnership.
