早上听sbs中文介绍了劳动节的由来，忍不住查了一下，原来是游行示威争取来的啊，跟大家共享
劳动节也叫八小时节。很久以前工人每天工作12小时每周六天。1856年墨尔本大学的石匠举行游行，争取每天八小时工作的权利。1879年维州开始每年一天带薪的公众假日劳动节。
Background
The history of Labour Day in Australia spans over a century. It is an important annual event that remembers those who struggled and succeeded to ensure decent and fair working conditions in Australia. During the mid to late 1800s the working day was long and arduous, where some employees would work up to 12 hours a day, six days a week.
Many Australians saw the need for better working conditions and in the 1850s there was a strong push for this. On April 21, 1856, stonemasons at the University of Melbourne marched to Parliament House to push for an eight-hour working day. An agreement with employers for a 48-hour week was eventually reached and Australian workers welcomed the new eight-hour day. A victory march was held on May 12 that year and each year after that. In 1856 the new work regulations were recognized in New South Wales, followed by Queensland in 1858 and South Australia in 1873.
