Australia is black and white - you get your 20 days a year annual leave, no exceptions, its the law. If you don't take your leave, it gets paid out.

US companies love to do the con job of "unlimited" PTO which, surprise surprise, is bullshit.

If an Australian company denies leave for whatever reason, its actually worse for them as accrued leave gets paid out at your current salary and they also need to account for it as a financial liability.
