Happy #WomensDay to all the women I've never known, all the women I know, and all the women I will ever know.

To all the women who've shaped me, are shaping me, and will still shape me and help me to become a better man with every interaction.

Mothers, daughters, sisters, girlfriends, fiancées, wives....

You are all worth more than you know, and none of us would be here today without you.

Have a truly blessed day, and never forget: we need you more than you need us. Never settle. Never compromise. <3

With 11 public holidays each year, France falls slightly below the European average.

Prime Minister François Bayrou has proposed scrapping two of them, arguing this would save €4.2 billion annually.

West Aussies, Cookie wants your feedback on changing public holidays to match the eastern states.

Tell him what you think (which of course is that we want more. Apparently we get the least in the country?!)

For purely selfish reasons I'd support celebrating the Kings Birthday in June and moving WA Day, so I can occasionally have a public holiday on my birthday.
