Public Holidays
I have just been looking at the public holidays for ACT. I see they get a holiday for the queens birthday which is odd given that the UK doesn't observe it.
Also, Labour day on 5th October. Shouldn't it be in early May?

Re: Public Holidays
I think all the States get the Queens Birthday, certainly the majority do.

Re: Public Holidays
Sure is especially when the ACT does something whacky like last year and had a holiday on Melbourne Cup day (idiot politicians, say no more) but the surrounding area doesnt. Holidays arent the only things that are confusing - Canberra and Queanbeyan have a different school entry age - up to 3 months difference can be very confusing!
