The Barbie and Matildas effect has been indicative of positive cultural sentiment made possible by the entertainment power of fresh and clever comedy.

Australia may have avoided an extra public holiday at the conclusion of the 2023 Women's World Cup, but Gelato Messina offering free scoops in honour of the Matildas shows there's still much for football fans and businesses to celebrate.

Leadership and mindset expert Mike Conway, who helped the Socceroos prepare for the four-year journey to the 2022 Qatar World Cup, says whatever you focus your attention on, shows your intention.

The opposition leader said a snap holiday for the Matildas would potentially cost the economy $2 billion and would have no "legacy impact".

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has defended calls for a public holiday if the Matildas win the FIFA Women's World Cup, stating small businesses benefited the last time Australian states and territories launched an unexpected public holiday.

The evolution of the Matildas: a team that’s gone from few resources and relative anonymity to equal pay and national treasure status.

The Matildas are still three knockout matches from lifting the FIFA Women's World Cup, but growing political support for a celebratory public holiday has concerned small business representatives, who see an extra day of penalty rates as a red card for local traders.

The video also notes that the first World Cup to award prize money to women was in 2007, which was 25 years after the men.
