No — either you work the public holiday and get paid double for the hours worked, or you don't work it and receive your normal day's pay (already included in monthly salary).
No additional pay is owed — you weren't going to work that day anyway, so there's no loss of income and no premium to pay.
Yes — the same 2× minimum rate applies to every gazetted public holiday if worked, regardless of which one it is.
