A late attempt to add a public holiday to create an Anzac Day long weekend, falling into line with Western Australia and the ACT, is being considered by the New South Wales government. The premier, Chris Minns, on Thursday said his government is in talks to create a new public holiday, accounting for Anzac Day falling on a Saturday. Remembrance services will be held nationwide on 25 April but only people in Western Australia and the ACT will get an additional public holiday on the next Monday. “I’ve got to have confidence that it’s not going to – if we have a public holiday on the Monday – it doesn’t detract from the salience of the 25th,” Minns said. But NSW enjoys just two extra: the King’s Birthday in June and Labour Day in October.
