Ok, we are regularly bombarded by how WA is the best place in Australia so why don't you guys get Monday (Queens Birthday) off???

Do you not celebrate the Queens Birthday and sing "Happy Birthday" to her around the kitchen table and bake her a strawberry cake with party hats like the rest of Australia does or....LMAO

From timeanddate.com;

"The official head of state of Australia is the Monarch of the Commonwealth Realms. The monarch's birthday is officially celebrated in many parts of Australia on the second Monday of June. However, this day is held on on a date proclaimed by the governor, often on the last Monday of September or the first Monday of October, in the state of Western Australia."

Queeny was actually born on April 21, 1926

Let's just call it "Another Bludge Day" and take it off. Cut the apron strings.
