Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has defended his push for a public vacation if the Matildas win the FIFA Women’s World Cup after receiving criticism from small companies arguing the transfer may value them.
“I do note that there were concerns expressed when we had the public holiday for the sad death of Queen Elizabeth II and some said that that was something that would cause economic disruption,” the Prime Minister instructed reporters.
“What that did, of course, was lead to increased economic activity in a whole lot of businesses, particularly small businesses, and it actually benefited a whole range of those businesses.”
