In New South Wales, Anzac Day is recognized as a public holiday only on April 25, regardless of whether it falls on a weekend. This year, the commemoration lands on a Saturday.
“We’re considering making some changes for this year,” Chris Minns mentioned during an interview on Triple M’s Beau, Cat & Woodsy.
“In terms of public holidays, we are lagging behind other states,” he observed.
However, Minns emphasized that any decision would follow discussions with the RSL to ensure the essence of Anzac Day ceremonies and parades remains intact.
“I need to be assured that declaring a holiday on the following Monday won’t diminish the significance of the 25th,” he stressed.
“The 25th must remain of paramount importance,” he concluded.
