TAMWORTH, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 26: The Australian flag is attached to a trailer at a campground during Australia Day on January 26, 2024 in Tamworth, Australia. Australia Day, formerly known as Foundation Day, is the official national day of Australia and is celebrated annually on January 26 to commemorate the arrival of the First Fleet to Sydney in 1788. Many indigenous Australians refer to the day as Invasion Day and there is a growing movement to change the date to one which can be celebrated by all Australians. In 2024, supermarket chains Woolworths and Aldi announced that they will stop stocking themed merchandise for the day, drawing a political backlash from opposition leader Peter Dutton.

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - MAY 18: McDonald's Fawkner is seen re-opened on May 18, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. McDonald's has closed 12 restaurants across Melbourne for deep cleaning after an external delivery driver tested positive for COVID-19. The precautionary decision to close the stores was made after a truck driver delivering supplies to the restaurants while asymptomatic later tested positive for coronavirus. All staff have been asked to self isolate not to return to work for 14 days. The restaurant closures come after the closure of the Fawkner and Craigieburn McDonald's restaurants due to COVID-19 cluster outbreak last week. (Photo by Daniel Pockett/Getty Images)
