Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese criticized the growing practice of using portable cabanas to reserve beach spots as un-Australian and contrary to the nation's egalitarian values during the summer season.

Amidst summer's soaring temperatures, perfect beach spots in Australia have become contested ground with gazebo-like cabanas growing in popularity for providing ample shade.

While some see reserving beach spots with cabanas as creative, others vehemently argue it contradicts the notion of shared public spaces, a principle emphasized by Albanese, especially as the election period looms.
