Doctor anger over national day of mourning following Queen’s death
But Prime Minister Anthony Albanese defends the move, saying it was a one-in-70-year event

ENT surgeon Dr Eric Levi said it would impact 60 patients who were booked into his hospital’s cancer clinic, with eight scheduled for theatre.
