今日係「國際不再恐同日」(IDAHOBIT)，我哋同全世界嘅LGBTQIA+ 社群同行。🏳️🌈
2026 年主題「民主的核心」(At the heart of democracy)，提醒我哋尊嚴、平等同自由嘅重要性。雖然社會有所進步，但歧視仍然存在，所以更加需要我哋持續倡議共融政策，同埋建立互相尊重嘅工作環境。澳洲會繼續致力推動共融，打造安全、多元嘅環境，讓每一個人都可以發揮所長。
Today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), we stand with LGBTQIA+ people around the world. 🏳️🌈
The 2026 theme, “At the heart of democracy,” reminds us that dignity, equality and freedom are essential. Despite progress, discrimination persists, reinforcing the need for advocacy, inclusive policies and respectful workplaces. Australia remains committed to inclusion, fostering safe environments where everyone can thrive.

今日係世界新聞自由日。🎤
新聞自由同獨立編採工作，對促進和平、發展同人權非常重要。聯合國教科文組織（UNESCO）指出，新聞自由經歷咗自2012年以嚟最急劇嘅倒退，同時自我審查同資訊被操控（包括濫用人工智能）嘅情況增加，傳媒亦都面對日益沉重嘅經濟壓力。
2026年世界新聞自由日係一個重要時刻，提醒我哋要重申言論自由嘅重要性，並團結新聞界、科技界同人權倡議者，打造更值得信賴的資訊生態系統。
Today marks World Press Freedom Day. 🎤
Press freedom and independent journalism are vital to peace, development, and human rights. UNESCO reports the steepest global decline in press freedom since 2012, alongside rising self censorship, information manipulation, including AI misuse, and economic pressure on media.
World Press Freedom Day 2026 is a crucial moment to reaffirm freedom of expression and unite journalism, technology, and human rights to strengthen trusted information ecosystems.

勞動節係為咗紀念超過一個世紀以嚟，工人爭取公平同安全工作條件嘅奮鬥過程。
喺十九世紀，唔少澳洲工人每日要做成 12 個鐘。直到 1856 年 4 月 21 號，墨爾本嘅石匠發起遊行，爭取 8 小時工作制，之後情況先至開始改變。呢場運動改寫咗全國嘅工作生活模式。
宜家勞動節已經成為澳洲嘅公眾假期，不過各個州嘅慶祝日期就唔同。今年昆士蘭同北領地嘅勞動節就喺 5 月 4 號。

Labour Day honours more than a century of workers’ struggle for fair and safe conditions. In the 1800s, many Australians worked up to 12 hours a day. Change came on 21 April 1856, when Melbourne stonemasons marched for an eight hour day. The movement reshaped working life nationwide.
Labour Day is now a public holiday across Australia, celebrated on different dates. In Queensland and the Northern Territory, it falls on 4 May this year.
