Good to know

Why do states have different public holidays?

Each state and territory declares its own set on top of the national ones. It's why Victorians get a day off for a horse race.

Is Grand Final Friday locked in?

It tracks the AFL fixture, so it stays provisional until the league confirms the date. Anything unconfirmed wears a badge in our tables.
