South Australia's Industrial Relations Minister, Paul Holloway, has announced that the government of Australia's State of South Australia had declared Tuesday, April 26, 2011, as a one-off public holiday.
This declaration, due to the fact that Anzac Day falls on Easter Monday for the first time ever, follows a similar move by Western Australia, earlier this month (01-Jul-2010), and is in line with last year's CAF Agreement (15-Jan-2009), which set out to harmonize the treatment of the ANZAC Day public holiday, across all Australian states and territories, when ANZAC Day falls on a Sunday, or another public holiday.
All other Australian states are expected to follow suit, even Tasmania, which did not follow the CAF guidelines in 2010 (18-Apr-2009), but which will, de facto, in 2011 as Easter Tuesday is a State public holiday in Tasmania.
