Observe G20 Leaders’ Summit Public Holiday
Brisbane is the host of the 2014 G20 Leaders’ Summit, so workers in
the Brisbane City Council area receive this special day off to assist
with easing security concerns and traffic congestion when the G20 summit
is being held. Some areas in Brisbane are restricted during the event.
Public life
According to Queensland Police, G20 events would be interwoven with
business as usual, but some residents and businesses near restricted
areas could expect some disruptions in the immediate lead-up to, and
during the G20 events.
About G20 Leaders’ Summit
The Group of Twenty (G20) is a group of 20 major advanced and
emerging economies. The group started in 1999 as a meeting of finance
ministers and central bank governors in the aftermath of the Asian
financial crisis. In 2008, the first G20 leaders’ summit was held to
deal with the global financial crisis. G20 leaders have met a number of
times since 2008, and there is now a leaders’ summit each year.
Today, the G20 Leaders’ Summit is the world’s primary forum for
global economic cooperation and decision-making.
It is deemed as the
most significant meeting of world leaders that Australia has hosted with
as many as 4000 delegates and 3000 media representatives expected to
attend.

The G20 has not been well received in Australia by many. The first nations people of this country are planning on camping in Musgrave park in answer to this. They are calling there meeting the GENOCIDAL 20 as they wish to highlight to other countries of the world that Australia treats this part of the population with absolute disdain bordering on genocide through secondary means.
I think that the Abbott is out of his depth with these characters of the world stage, he just keeps on looking like an absolute madman the way he addresses important issues.
