Friday is a Gazetted National public Holiday for Good Friday
Easter Saturday has never been a gazetted holiday
Easter Sunday is a Gazetted National Holiday, we get the Monday off in lieu as Easter Sunday falls on a weekend.
Which is why I was paid public holiday penalty rates on Saturday? Doesn’t seem to gel.
in WA, the public holidays are Friday, Saturday and Monday. Sunday is not classified as a public holiday for us (our staff got normal pay yesterday)
I believe in Queensland it’s the whole weekend.
Mark Ferguson is back presenting in Sydney tonight.
Dean Felton filed a report on the thrilling AFL match between Geelong and Hawthorn for this evening’s Melbourne bulletin. I don’t remember Dean as a sports reporter?
Rick Ardon presenting solo in Perth tonight.
I’m assuming Seven will be sending a local reporter from each state to cover the commonwealth games.
Are we aware who?
I noticed Sydney reporter Alex Hart last night
Obviously grabbed who was available in the newsroom at that time to voice-over that sport report, considering the late finish match (his report) was the reason the bulletin started late (about 6.05pm).
Dean also filed another news report last night.
I’d wager Adelaide will send Mark Mooney if anybody. I doubt any presenters would go up- maybe Bruce will?
I’m thinking Blake Johnson or Michael Scanlan from Melbourne.
Michelle Bishop presenting sport on the Morning News again today.
Sydney reporter Paul Kadak is reporting on the Commonwealth Games from the Gold Coast.
Brisbane aured a promo for Max Futcher this afternoon. Sharyn, Kay and Shane Webcke were talking about his experience etc. Hopefully @TV.Cynic captured it.

Ryan Daniels was in Gold Coast where he did news for Perth bulletin
Melbourne has sent Cameron Baud and Sharnelle Vella to cover the games. Tim Watson is also presenting sport from the Gold Coast
