Apart from genuine sickness, the main reason is to "chuck a sickie". That is, to pretend one is sick in order to have a day off, usually before a weekend, in order to gain a long weekend for oneself.

Why doesn't Jesse eisenberg come to Australia?

Because there is absolutely no reason for him to ever go there. In fact, there is no reason for any American actor to visit Australia unless they're doing a movie that takes place in Australia. Or, of course, if they have family in Australia, then that would be a reason to visit, but as far as I know, Jesse doesn't. So, if I were you, I would stop asking obvious questions. Good day to you, sir or madame.

Australia Day, which is celebrated on January 26 every year, commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in New South Wales on 26 January 1788. This was a significant date because it marked the beginning of European settlement in and colonisation of Australia.Many Australians do not actually realise the significance of Australia Day, having misconceptions about why we have Australia Day (such as thinking it is when James Cook first landed on Australia's shores). Many Australians are just happy to have a day off work.
