NOT IN THE TEST This part is worth reading, but the citizenship test never asks about it.

• Labour Day or Eight Hour Day celebrates Australian workers’ achievement of the eight-hour work day —a world first.

• Easter commemorates the Christian account of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

• King’s Birthday celebrates the birth of Australia’s head of state, King Charles III. This celebration is held on the second Monday in June in every state and territory except Western Australia and Queensland.
