Anthony Albanese Queen Elizabeth II Elizabeth IIs Australia ABC Radio

A number of Aussies are pissed off about Australia’s parliament being suspended for more than two weeks in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II‘s death. Parliament was set to return next week and then break until October’s budget sitting. Now next week’s sittings have all been cancelled — pretty yikes. PM Anthony Albanese

If parliament is suspended for at least 15 days, meaning next week’s sitting is cancelled, then it’s only fair that the rest of the nation gets that time off too, and paid.

15 days is ridiculous. https://t.co/yyHvVUZ3ZO

Today our Australian parliament commences 15 days of mourning and events to show respect for the passing of the Queen of England.

The working-class have to apply for up to 2 days bereavement leave if our parents pass away to get our affairs in order.

15 day parliament suspension for the death of QEII, as an Aboriginal woman she’s not my Queen but it just feels so wrong for a modern Democracy.

We have cost of living pressures, a third La Niña to hit & our health workers are in crisis.

Parliament should sit next week

I'm trusting all JobSeeker mutual obligations will be suspended for 15 days as a mark of respect for our late Queen @AlboMP
