Murray–Darling Basin: Australia’s Largest River System (了解墨累-达令盆地: 澳大利亚最大的河流水系)
The Murray–Darling Basin, in the south-east of Australia, is Australia’s largest river system. The Basin is made up of multiple river catchments and takes its name from the longest of its rivers – the Murray and the Darling.
The Murray–Darling Basin covers 1 million km2 across 5 different states and territories:
More than 2.3 million people live within the Basin, including people from more than 50 First Nations.
墨累-达令盆地（Murray-Darling Basin，简称“盆地”），位于澳大利亚东南地区，是澳大利亚最大的河流水系，流域覆盖新南威尔士州大部分地区、部分昆士兰南部地区、南澳州东部地区、维多利亚州北部地区以及整个澳大利亚首都领地。
墨累-达令河水系的作用：
用水量增加、干旱和人为改变水流，不仅导致流域的许多河流和湿地退化，同时也为休闲、旅游和依赖盆地水源的社区带来巨大影响。
水是创造动植物和人类生存发展环境的基础。过去40年来，这里的水鸟数量逐年减少，同时没有出现任何持续恢复的趋势。原生鱼类的数量在过去150年更是减少了90%以上。
立即行动起来，我们就能确保墨累-达令河水系得以继续支持本地社区，同时满足动植物和人类生存的需求。

Regulations about Working on Public Holidays | 澳大利亚有关公共假日上班的规定
所有雇员都有权在法定公共假日期间不工作。但是，雇主可以要求雇员工作。雇员只要有合理的理由（reasonable grounds），即可拒绝这样的要求。
全职和兼职雇员，如果在公共假日当日不工作，他们工资依照正常工作日工作小时数和最低工资率计算。
在公共假日期间工作的那一部分雇员，他们的工资必须依照加班和节假日补薪标准（penalty rate）计算。这是高于他们的最低工资的薪资标准。
正在休年假或病假中的雇员依然有权享受带薪公共假日待遇。这部分钱并不是从雇员应得的带薪假日中扣除。但是，公共假日必须适逢雇员通常需要工作的日子才能视为带薪假日。
