The Labour Party will try to force the Government's hand to 'Mondayise' Anzac Day and Waitangi Day if they fall on a weekend by introducing a member's bill to make the change.
Labour leader Phil Goff announced the move this afternoon at the party's first caucus of the year - an all-day event at Auckland's Waipuna Lodge.
The bill will ensure that if Waitangi Day and Anzac Day fall on either a Saturday or Sunday in the future, the following Monday will be a public holiday. Since late last year all Australian states except Tasmania have 'Mondayised' Anzac Day.
