Tasmania’s finally caught up with the rest of Australia—Easter Sunday is now a public holiday, guaranteeing penalty rates for workers. After years of debate and resistance from business groups worried about shutdowns and costs, the move passed with a 10-4 vote in the upper house. Advocates like Labor MP Sarah Lovell argued it’s a fair, small-cost adjustment that aligns Tasmania with other states, with no evidence of job losses. It’s a win for retail workers and a step toward national equality in pay and recognition.
