Public holiday changes may give eight million people an extra day off workA government official says talks are now underway to give millions an extra public holiday - but has refused to commit to guaranteeing it will happen during a radio appearanceView 3 Images NSW hopes to enjoy an additional day off for 2026. ‌For the first time since 2020, Australia's Anzac Day holiday on April 25 doesn't land on a weekday. This means most Aussies won't get time off work or school - but that might be set to change for one Australian state. Anzac Day permits the antipodean countries to engage in two-up, a coin-flipping game customarily enjoyed in pubs and clubs across Australia on Anzac Day, honouring a collective bond with the nation's Diggers (soldiers). Nevertheless, exemptions permit its legal play on Anzac Day and occasionally Remembrance Day or Victory in the Pacific Day, mainly at RSL clubs or licensed establishments.
