The Prime Minister had flagged a public holiday if the Matildas won the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.
The problem with the Albanese push, however, was that Australia’s leaders from the various states and territories needed to be on board, yet their responses had been mixed.
“We won’t actually be discussing it today, we are discussing housing and other issues,” Albanese said on Triple M Hobart.“It’s up to the states and territories what they do.“ “The contribution to the economy of this World Cup has been extraordinary, and tonight clubs and pubs right around Australia, they’ll be full, as well as live sites being full, and the contribution should not be underestimated that has been made.”
“We’d rather make a lasting investment in the growth of women’s sport, so this World Cup can leave a strong legacy for our state.” “I don’t want to be superstitious about tonight’s result, but what I do think regardless of the outcome is a massive investment in women’s facilities within grassroots sports,” he said on ABC national.
