Labour Day is celebrated with a public holiday in Australia. Each state holds it on a different day. It’s just not held on May 1st.
That seems specifically made up to make it impossible for the labor movement to use the day for anything general.
I think states hold it in March to honour the 8 hour “march”, or in May in tribute to May 1. If it was held on May 1 and that coincided with a weekend without a weekday off in lieu, people would go apeshit.
