For The Record | Why Did NSW Take So Long To Give Us An Extra Public Holiday?

from Ricki‑Lee & Tim · host Nova Podcasts

Joe Hildebrand joined us to break down Chris Minns' announcement that Monday April 27 is officially a public holiday after Anzac Day falls on a Saturday, making NSW finally catch up with states like WA and the ACT who've been doing this for years. Joe explained why NSW has historically had the fewest public holidays in the country, whether two-up is legal all weekend (it's not, Saturday only), and why some businesses are fuming about penalty rates despite everyone else celebrating a long weekend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
