The new year's National Day had no activities, even the usual flag-raising event was forbidden from being watched by anyone.
It's not that the flag-raising event had any secrets, but the flu still posed a risk, and for the safety of the people, public gatherings were better kept to a minimum.
With the arrival of the new year, there were quite a few good news for Australasia.
The first being the compensation from defeated countries and the United States, Australasia was able to receive approximately 120 million Australian dollars in compensation, accounting for a large portion of last year's total fiscal revenue, it can be described as a sudden wealth.
It's worth noting that in 1918, Australasia's total fiscal revenue was only 172.9 million Australian dollars, an increase of only 4% compared to the previous year, far smaller than the previous growth rate of 15% to 17%.
