Mondayising Anzac Day and Waitangi Day is all but a reality after Prime Minister John Key confirmed this morning that he expected a Labour MP's bill on the matter to pass into law, and ruled out using the Government veto on it.
Labour MP David Clark's members' bill to allow
a day off on a Monday if the two pubic holidays fall on the weekend is expected to get its second reading in Parliament tomorrow.
National does not support the bill, claiming it will put too much load on businesses and would detract from the significance of the dates. However, Mr Clark has secured the support of the Maori Party and United Future as well as Opposition Parties - giving it just enough support to pass without Government support.
