As Anzac Day approaches, many Australians are asking whether the public holiday falls on Saturday or Monday, alongside inquiries about shop hours and surcharges. The day, which honors the contributions of Australian and New Zealand soldiers, has sparked discussions about its implications for businesses and workers.
In addition, the announcement of a new public holiday for Anzac Day in 2026 has generated controversy, with critics labeling it a 'kick in the guts' for struggling Aussies. The potential for increased costs and operational challenges has raised concerns about the economic impact on communities already facing hardships.
